I was not impressed by its performance. Got to a dual-cariageway, immediately went to the right lane, and followed this A190, he booted it, i hit 3rd gear at full pace, and i kept up with it. My mid range is the best part of the corsa, and it pulls solidly throughout. whats the 0-60 of the A190's?

David, your car does 0-60 in 9 seconds yes.

I managed 9.1 with datatron equipment. I believe a more experience test driver would be able to get that down to 8.8 - 8.9.

8 seconds to 60 for a 2.1 mini MPV is very very poor. I would much rather have a Zafira GSi

Still 7 seconds to 60 for an MPV is pretty impressive.

you can actually pick a 2year old one up for about £11k. Thats not bad you know, and with a bit of tweaking they will approach 200BHP.
