hey guys, im thinking about upgrading my VR Calais to a VT or VX S-Pack. just wanted to know the major differences between the two, is it worth spending a bit more for the VX or not? only reason im going fot the s-pack is because i want a manual and electrics. if you guys have any other suggestions other than an s-pack, let me know. but im looking at a 6 not an 8. thanks

I've got both - the VX is smoother, quieter and tighter around the corners. Try for a Series 2 if you can afford it as it has better rear end.

To clarify - VT-VX1 had camber issues which chewed the inside of rear tyres. This was fixed on the VX2.

Otherwise - the VX is better looking, newer, lighter and slightly more powerful.

I woudn't say "Fixed" but it has been improved....
But yeah go the VX... if u can afford a newer car then may aswell...
When i was buyin a car i could have gotten a VT SS of a Series 1 VX SS but i for the series 2 s-pack on the fact it had less km and is newer... plus the "improved" rear suspension...
