Fact is, my completely standard 1.4 Micra has beaten 1.4 Corsa's and Tigra's (16 valve) usually by a cars length to 60mph.
Funny that, isnt it, from such a slow car as a Micra.
Yes, corsas sluggish and bad handling, for what they are.
My mate's mum's 1.0 12v micra (which is not only battered to bits, but is on a k-plate with 100k on the clock) pulls away effortlessly from the 1.0 12v, 1.2 8v and 1.4 8v corsa's from my collage. We all get to drive each other's cars, so it really is not a one off thing.
That post above is very true, and yes, i agree that novas were better for their handling and acceleration characteristics. Shame they were built from 2mm tin.
