I remember just last week on some post, I was saying how much fun I have with my corsa b. And this week I blow the fu@kin thing up. Opel wants $2k to fix it. And I don’t want to drop another engine in or 2.0 conversions. So I’ve decided to get something else. Used cause I don’t have too much cash at the moment. So please give me your advice if you were to get another car. corsa c? saxo vts? 206xs? Astra? and etc? Need to get something within the next week or so. thanks

well is not how much $$$ i have. it all depends on the car. i am willing to spend more if you guys think it is a good car. i don't like japanese cars so much. but i don't know those civic kicks @ss.

I wouldn't get an Astra as they're bringing a new one out this year. They're just altered the Corsa C, and adjusted prices (not sure about ur country tho) Why not try a 1.8 Sri Corsa C

The 1.8 Sri does 0-60 in 8 secs and 126 as a top speed. Not very good for a 1.8 16v but i am aware it can be modded to make it alot faster.
Get a 206cc and mod it?

personally if I had the kind of money to buy what I wanted I wouldn't have another corsa, as soon as my missus can afford the insurance on a better car she will get one.
Get a saloon style car, not another hot hatch.
If you can push the boat out why not get an MG ZS or TF, very nice cars and can go of course

grandaddy cars???? lmfao, an MG ZS does not look like a grandad car, nor does a TF, the only one that looks slightly grandaddyish is the ZT and even that is nice.
And like I said they cdan go, but again as I said I'de go for the 220 coupe tubo, don't look like grandad cars and will eat shit out of most that comes its way, 0-60 in 6.2, you know you want it
