"only reason you feel the sax is better is that its newer and has airbags and more up to date stuff"
My saxo has the same mileage as my corsa and is the same year.
"sax has more than 100k its had its day where as corsas go for far far longer"
Mates VTS is on 135k and only been regularly services and had one headgasket done as early ones were prone to going.

what? my corsas engine blew up at 100k
a friends VTS was on 140k+ and he had no probs whatsoever still felt really tight
the only reason a saxo would have had its day at 100k is the gearbox everything else should last equally as long

Guess I was just unlucky with all 3 of my saxos and lucky with my corsas!
Anyway its ridiculous that you can compare the corsa b with a saxo which is a much newer car atleast compare it to the corsa c, no?!

the corsa C came out in 2001 the 106 in 1997 so yet another unfair comparison, but still comparing the 1.8 sri against the vts in terms of driving experience the vts is miles ahead again
