I keep seeing these and I like what I have seen. But I love my Corsa and couldn't bear to sell it!!

Help and put me off!! They're a nice car to keep standard, and quick!
Maybe something to consider to buy and still keep the Corsa!

needs to be reved to get the best out of the motor, paint quality on kit bad, very skippy suspension, looks like an MPV, lots seem to be driven by tossers. I suggest you go for a test drive and consider other cars

They're so popular, its like a saxo for the older generation

No LSD, not even a LSD option(even though they're built in the UK and the JDM cars get one as standard) WTF?!?!

Your not a dumb ass but a dunderheed!

A LSD, limited slip differential basicly gives you more traction.

Any 200bhp FWD production car should be fitted with a decent LSD from the factory.

I would have a CTR over any version of Corsa...even the 2 litre conversions.

3 BHP is difference between Sport and GSI stuart...and GSI's are regarded in a much better light on here therefore I feel it makes a substantial difference..

lsd when 1 wheel spins power is transferred to other wheel so left wheel spins right wheel gets more power it flicks from side to side as traction on both side improves when u see a big power car with a lsd up the strip it will snake a tiny bit this is the lsd doing its job

no lsd when 1 wheel spins all the power gos to the spinning wheel-wheels and u get nowhere just sit there eating your tyres

Slow? erm I think your find your talking out of your bottom. It's a decent car, main thing thats annoying is the poor turning circle. Can't fault it at all for the money.

What do you drive 'jonboy' ?

Going off his garage a 1.4 8v, so I can see why he would find a CTR slow!

btw, to slow is two words and it should be "too"

I wonder what LSD he uses? 60 raging horses must cause big traction problems.

agreed i would have one if i hadnt of done my 2lrtr conversion but i think they are too common now.

well hooked on my corsa now and hoping for TB's in the not to distand future. IN stock form i still manage to give CTR's hassle so its all good
