Sorry but they do absolutely nothing for me, but then I've never liked any Vauxhalls. Looks like an omega with a chavvy bodykit to me.

Always wanted one since it was on top gear on pendine beach, one hell of a car for the money, and practicle.

I don't think vauxhalls are tooo bad - they have improved lately big time :)

 

was looking @ getting one of these in the next few months :D Only let down is the VXR range is only a 3 door - but we'll see :)

 

no thanks, much nicer cars for the money

merc500 coupe thing

 

to name a couple

hmmmmmm not my thing, Im sure performance wise they are immense but just not my cup of cha on the styling front

exactly what i thought, omega's baby brother styling wise, im sure they are ok performance wise but just look really cheap

Naa better cars out tehre for the same money

I'd be tempted by an NSX or a Merc CL500 for that sort of money.

 

But I can see the appeal. Nice cars.

btw one went through my local auction house the other day for 11.5k

very fun to drive them Allan, we had 1 in at work last year so we all got a go of it, if you think the zed is easy to get sideways then get ready for a surprise, lol.

i got pissed on by a VXR8 two weeks ago!!, sounded awesome as it went passed :bow:

i think they are poop.

 

For the size of the engine they are slow.

I can't wait for the VW Phaeton to drop to a good price.

Aren't these Monaros the ones with Corvette LS6 V8 engines? If so then they must be a hoot to drive. A friend lent me his Corvette C6 Z06 a year or so ago and I just can't wipe that smile off my face! Absolutely outstanding engine.

think its a holden engine Dan but they are amazing to drive mate.

What's picture 6 all about. Looks like the local plain clothes plod were all over it.

 

Good car but not for me.

one sold in the auction by us for 11k last week !!

Yep its the LS6 and as you'll know they come standard in many specs. There is a 470 bhp model of the Monaro and a 420bhp model as well as the one up for sale.

 

I thought they would make a nice family hack that you could have fun in.

They sound nice, but its a vaxhall, personally i dont like them

I quite like them as I do love a nice V8:D

 

But I'm sure glad I never bought one a couple of years ago for £25k only to see them for £11-15k now:x:

 

I know all cars depreciate but it's a Vauxhall and like anything exotic from a home grown "bread and butter" manufacturer, the values plummet quicker than anything Germany has to offer.

 

Still they seem like a good used buy now though...........

yes its a vauxhall, so what. we all drive nissans the name doesn't mean its not a good car nissan cherry voted the worst car ever does this reflect the zeds skylines 200sx, no it doesnt. vxr range has given vauxhall the shot in the arm they needed, cause they haven't made a good car since the 24v GSI (my opinion and top gears) until the vxr came along the vectra, corsa, astra and monaro all good cars. IMO i would drive any car as long as its a good car nome means s**t to me
