whats peoples thoughts on the corsa b 1.2 sxi 16v's? they seem to have quite a good spec, planning to get one over next week or so as the 1.4 and 1.6 was too much on insurace for me!

mine doesnt have electric windows, but has electric mirrors . Its alrite for wat it is, good for a first car in my eyes, still only a 1.2 though, but not as dog slow as the 8v

Yes - just like with the C's.

They also get GSi spoiler

SXi B (or C for that matter) is the best compromise if you have to a small engine Corsa for insurance reasons.

Most probably was an option when new, or the previous owners fitted it, lucky git

I saw a 12v the other day which had a "Corsa 1.0" badge on the back

corsa b sxi is a good enough car, interior is nice on them, they do suffer from the common sensor failures such as afms etc.
