bora's are a bit of a boring drive though, even if you did add some fancy bits "its still a barge"
the corsa C maybe not as good in build quility, which between the brands is quite ovious !
but the C is for a younger driver, bit more fun too
i disagree, i would say the corsa c is equally as boring drive as the bora, and hes probably at the age where he does want a more mature car anyway
i disagree. the bora is a barge, have you driven both ? i have bora's arnt really mature, there more "grandad" or good if you like golf i spose

yes but he is not looking for a "comfort model" looking at his list, im sure the corsa 1.7 is an SRI ? with lowered and uprated suspension from factory ?

iv said iv driven two cars, not ever car on the road
both at the same speed's, same weather, same corner's
sorry Kurt for the hijack dude, but i wont let this lie. your useing a corsa 1.8 sri as an example steve, im 100% sure it will do better around corner's or handle in genaral than any bora from vw's production line avalible to the uk public.

so basically your saying the reason to buy a car is so you can go as flat out as possible round the corners?

mate i went from a 106gti to a skoda fabia diesel, i love the fabia if not more than the 106, my point is, theres more to a car then how fast you can go round corners, that goes for fun too

i had a 106gti when i was 18, had a few sensible cars after, fancied something cheap so sold my leon cupra for the 106 for a bit as it was cheap to run, to you it would be a performance car, to me it was a cheap run about lol
