fuel tank is prone to rotting/rusting aswell!

a punto running 1.2 bar on standard internals? good luck

Sorry, i guess your an old guy with an immense amount of training in driving. Sorry for me being presumptious in thinking your younger than I, and just jibbering rubbish.

let corsa will cripple my insurance and my xe wasnt great in traffic.. was bordering on overheating, think fan wasnt kicking in..
theres a reason why "everyman and his dog" has a glanza though, they are quick little cars but back end is a bit off putting.
punto gt3's i love but they seem a bit sluggish in comparison to some other cars... the decisions !!!

If price isn't an issue, then why not get an XE on carbs? Will need to be maintained quite regularly, but it'll be the quickest out of those three, with more useable power.

TBH id stick with a Valver corsa.Reliable as fuk if its done well and looked after.
Sound awesome with a decent exhaust and can be made to go pretty quick with just a few select mods.Plenty pull in any gear,no turbo lag etc.
And also with it being a 2.0 compared to 1.3/1.4 its gonna have a good bit torque thro the gears.

now this is what iv ben told by most people with an XE corsa but when i had mine its not as if i could put my foot dwn in any gear and "go" so to speak..
you had tod rop a few gears to get it above 3,500rpm and get it singing ..

I Think Andy was being a pussy tbh I went out in that Punto after he stripped it and it was easily much much quicker than an XE Corsa and this was reflected in the fact he crossed over the quarter mile doing a mid 14 in neutral
I say that speaks volumes
