are you saying this as you have a sport? and extras? you? no, you have no extras theyve all been removed
a sport is a poor mans gsi, thats all there is to it. everyone who has a sport wishes deep down they had a gsi.

yeah but that was a bench figure, thats without even considering fuel consumption or reliability. 148bhp is no good if the engine lasts 10,000 miles, and does 15mpg, vauxhall wouldn't have made any money!

the engine would last the same miles if it was 148 as it does when its 109. they wouldnt have made the car and shipped it out had they not been happy with the engine.
thats just common sense really.

i like gsi's myself.i looked at buying one.but the sport in my opinion is better because the interior is nicer and they are not as old.its all down to personal preference really.i would have either cant.so i cant really say one is better that the other i just prefer the sports.

i dont think any looks better than the other really.but i prefer the look of the gsi because it dosent look like every other standard corsa and its rarer.

i dont really feel the need for extras in the corsa, its not an everyday car, the clio however has climate control and central locking and electric windows...... none of which the corsa has!
also i feel th esport interior is nicer than the gsi

i can tell your offended as ive realised you are trying to justify not buying a gsi. everyone prefers the gsi's, its just the way it is
gsi is a better car, without one, your a nobody

I had this problem when I was buying a new car. Only thing is I wanted a Black GSi so it was either a kit or hefty insurance and a respray
edit: Although I wish I could say I own a GSi (and thats being honest)

Why are GSI's better? I have to admit there's something about them that looks special compared to a sport but why is a GSI replica not as good as a real GSI?

becuase its like an impreza sport with a bonnet vent. bought the wrong car, or the one you didnt really want so having to compromise and make it look like what you should have bought to begin with

GSi is like vauxhalls GTR on a skyline. It means its something special.
Its like having top of the range clothes etc.
