Why are corsa's tempting me soo much? Ive got a nice 1.6 Ibiza and love it but the more I see pics of sorted corsas on here the more I want one!
And Ive just got an insurance quote of £1350 for a 1.4 sport (standard though)

It's probably because you mainly see Corsa's on here, being a corsa site an all

Seeing the likes of shaun's white corsa which looks so good but is soo simple at the same time just makes me want one!
How reliable are 1.4 16v's?

I would never set foot in another Corsa again. Unless it was a VXR. I see them as a car for young lads these days and look for a more grown up car, if that makes sense. Saying that though my cousin (20) jus got himself a brand new Corsa club 1.3 CDTI which goes well enough, returns brilliant MPG and costs £35 a year to tax.

Ive been driving for 7months. Went to look at a sport today and I don't think I could do it, it just seems like a step back  Although the one I looked at wasn't a minter

So insurance on a 1.6 Corsa B is more pricey than on a 1.6 Ibiza?

Yup, the 1.6 in my Ibiza is a 8v, only 100BHP, its a tad faster than a 1.4 16v corsa I think.
Ive decided that if a 1.4 C comes up cheap I will get it, just can't face going 'backwards'

Looking at getting one for a project
