2009 Vauxhall Corsa VXR

The Corsa VXR puts the “super” in Super Mini. It can also make your city driving downright thrilling. Consider the more than 200 turbo-inspired horses under the hood for a start, then strap in and give it a rip. If the car’s aggressive stance and oversized wheels don’t scream atypical, its stiff suspension will hammer home the point. So go ahead, run it around town, get your groceries but, when that guy next to you at the stoplight gives you a look, don’t hesitate to show your tailpipes as you tear off in a blaze of Super Mini glory.
