who would agree with me on this.
i reckon novas handle better than corsas.
had my nova lowered 40mm on shitty PI springs and the standard shocks, same wheels as are now on corsa, corsa is lowered 40mm on koni kit.
i think my nova was better to drive.
anyone else driven both and have an opinion

We're not far off this stage, i give it about another year or too, until most of the corsa B's on road are owned by young chavs

My first Nova handled like it was on rails, down 70mm on springs and shocks My 2nd one on 17's didn't handle to bad considering. Only driven a few corsa's for small runs and they didn't feel as stable, but didn't test them as they weren't my cars

i think i agree mike, really considering moving on now.
sod being a gay boy with a modded corsa
went out in a brand new fiesta van last night and week impressed with how tight it felt round corners and was generally smoother and nicer to drive.
wouldn't want one, but need something newer

They have a decent enough chassis, its just the suspension is from the middle ages

both handle crap standard for standard, it's only when you start customising your corsa/nova that it becomes better.

corsa's are no where near the stage of becoming laughed at cars, if u ask me corsa still looks ahead of its time in terms of exterior appearance (gsi's and sports) etc
u must also remember the last few corsa b's are still only 4 years old and alot of them will only be approaching there second MOT so i disagree with chav statement

Nova will handle better than a Corsa, simply because the chassis/floorpan is essentially the same for both cars, but corsa is heavier and doesnt hold it self well when pushed.
