Nice to see the site is still up and running, its been along time!!!
Think about buying a corsa again (1.8 SRI 3 door), can anyone help with some useful info, performance spec, BHP, 0-60 etc etc. Can not find any decent info on the vauxhall website.
Also any opions on the car.
ps I am trading my Corsa GSI [M Reg / 85,000 / Green] and vauxhall have offered me £1100 if anyone wants it for abit above that then let me know, saves Vauxhall getting all of my money.
Cheers
Neil

Clio 172 might suit you, not a cup though if your after 70% drive, their a bit raw.

Price truely reflects the difference in class and performance but fair point.

the 1.8 SRi makes a good deal in my eyes. cheap insurance. good performance can be tuned (inlet etc)

how is it wank it has more power than most 1.8's on the market i.e focus 115bhp etc etc with a 0-60 of 8 secs compared most other 1.8's 9-10.5 secs some of them and top end nearly 130 hardly wank is it in fact id say it is a very good compromise for some1 who is after that little bit extra outta a hatchback but does not want massive power
plus with an extra 50cc per cylinder compared to vts's and gti's it will have more torque seems this goes unseen sometimes

to be fair the focus is a much bigger car so u cant really compare a focus with a 1.8 to a corsa with a 1.8 in it.
btw, clio 1.8 16v 137bhp, 0-60 7.7, honda ITR 1.8 16v 180 bhp 0-60 6.2 
ive raced a few corsa 1.8's and found them to be quite crap really
