Apologies for the non-Corsa question...

Are the early models built as well as the facelift ones?

What goes wrong with them?

Are they quick/good to drive?

Will it be better than a 1.4 Corsa C?

I have driven the facelift ones, quick enough build quality was'nt all that as expected and was a bit twitchy. Personally I don't like the pre facelift ones.

I can deal with twitchy and flimsy, but not unreliable in the form of things in the engine bay breaking all the time

That's what scares me more than anything.

The light thing sounds bad not all the facelift ones have xenons though do they?

My mate bought a pre face lift one from a dealer and a week later the fog lights stopped working Apart from that, it was a fooking ace little car that shocked many other cars. And I don't care if it opens a can of worms, it ate VTS's and 106 GTi's

what do you mean? could a 172 beat one? yes, it would kill one. In a straight line or around a track.
