pro's- newer car, smarter (i think) nippy (not rapid), better interior than a corsa B.
cons- getting cheap so they are nearly as popular as corsa B's
dont know about handling mate
edit- just thinkin about graemes corsa C makes me want one actually.

They roll about unless you assess the suspension, driven one on springs only and it was not bad I guess.

i looked at corsa C's before i got the astra and the only thing that put me off was the interior and the fact that my old corsa B was faster than an 1.8.... get an astra gsi lol

Yeah that's a rough BHP with them with superchargers. Course other bits too like cams and so on.
Can't find the 250 one and i have found a 184BHP one but it's a chevy 8v ......

on 15"s they handle like shit, on 16"s much much better tbh - so well I can't be arsed to lower mine tbh! It's not the best handling car in the world but then again it's a corsa!
