Alright people, a newbie here.
Whole point i joined this forum is cos im gettin a Corsa SRI 2004 model within the first week of Jan. (wrote off my last car which was a PUG 106 Quiksilver )
Just wondered if anyone has a new shape Corsa SRi? cos i havent seen many SRis out n about, is it good to drive? good things bad things? Also anyone with an actual 2004 model (2004 model is basically a facelift model of the Corsa C)???

You'll need to do some suspension work to make it handle like a 106. Also the electronic steering is the worst I have ever used, there is no feeling whatsoever and most people on here with a Corsa C will agree with me. The ride is good however and it feels comfortable at speed but don't be expecting big things when you start to chuck it about.
BTW I have the 2002 1.4 SRi, but I'm pretty sure the underpinings are the same as the 2004 model.

I've got a 2001 1.4 SRI and the only problem I had was with the steering rack and the electronic steering pump which I had replaced under warantee. A part from that seems o.k.

Still the same weight as my car... granted it has a bigger engine, if the corsa had a fibreglass body and ally frame it would weigh less... Anyway my point was its not much power from a 2.2litre.
