Also, does any1 know the standard 0 - 60 and top speeds?
Are they faster than the saxo vtrs?
Thanks

No they aren't as fast as a VTS.
And IIRC 0-60 is around 9 seconds?
Don't quote me on that though.

All anyone ever cares about is if a Corsa is faster than a Saxo or vice versa 
Do you not buy cars for other reasons with the performance of it being only one of those reasons. e.g. also consider comfort, handling, age of the car, styling, reliability etc....
