Out of them lot, i would say zetec s overall. But the 106 gti and vts would be faster.

i also didnt like my zetec s, was slow and didnt anything about it

They arent as bad as people make out, it's usually people who have never owned one that bad mouth them.

Let's face it. The build quality isn't great on a French car.

For me its the corsa!
The gti and vts will be quicker but i dont like the offset driving position, plus everyone i no that has one has nothing but problems.
The zetec will be slower and they rust like fuck, nearly as bad as nova's 
Plus pound for pound, you would probs get a better deal with the corsa i.e milage, service history, condition
Corsa 1.6 sport - 1
1.7 puma engined fiesta - 0
Keeping corsa's on the redline since 2008

Don't be. I've had my 206 GTi for about 18 month now and have had no real problems with it so far.
My sister never had any problems with her 206 nor her Clio neither.
