Drives really nicely tbh. Before i lowered it, the ride was comfy yet it went round corners quicker than ive ever managed to get my corsa's. Really does stick to the road. Its not to wallowey standard, but its not harsh either. Now ive lowered it though it handled EVEN better! Ride comfort has decreased, but not by alot. One thing i would say is that i find the seats give me back ache. There quite hard. Maybe its because mine are new and not worn in yet. But they are nowhere near as comfy as my old Corsa sport seats

Oh and if you ever decide to get one, get a 1.9CDTI, there quick, and with a DTUK box go straight to 200BHP.
The 1.8VVT is pretty guttless until high revs, and it drinks fuel like theres a hole in the tank!
I couldnt insure the 1.9 and tbh im not sure i could live with listeneing to a diesel. But it is a much better option

Personally dont think these cars mod very well, the bonnet is horrific and no matter what parts are going on i dont think its going to work but saying that i may be wrong. I like the wrap on the pillars though, just like older vectras and astras.

They don't need any changes. On a related topic I've got a 150 CDTI Sport Hatch with XP. I've just removed my Irmsher upper grille for a standard grille and couldn't beleive the gap between the bonnet and the top of the grille...
