So handling on a b and a road blast they are very good. You lot need to stop pretending you are professional racing drivers. You are not. This is corsa sport.

Doesn't take from the fact the Clio is a better handling car, no matter where you drive it. Whether it a B road or a track, the Clio is better handling, you can clearly see that in the video, some people just get blinded by badge snobbery!

4. Ride and Handling 9/10
The Corsa VXR is fantastic fun on the move, with responsive steering reacting to the tiniest of inputs. Only two things go against the Corsa – slightly too much bodyroll and too much torque steer (that’s when the steering wants to pull to one side under hard acceleration). While the later is perfect for the car’s hooligan demeanour, and becomes quite endearing, the former means the ride quality is excellent for a hot hatch.

Better still is the way it corners. The lifelessness of old is gone and in its place is a chassis that lets the tail drift when the limit is reached. It puts me in mind of an old Peugeot 205 GTi, and that’s about the highest praise you can lavish on any car.

It's a FWD turbo car, you are always going to get torque steer, probably where the more progressive power on the Clio is more suited to FWD
