I very recently bought a new 2nd hand car but i have still kept the corsa as my brother will be driving it once he has passed his test. The corsa is a W-Reg 1.4 sport

Tried driving the corsa today cos i still have insurance on both and the gearbox felt weird. Where i have been so use to the gearstick on the CTR the corsa now feels weird. When i drove the corsa i use to think this was a punchy little car but no it seems slugish. Dont get me wrong thou becos i still like my corsa and wouldnt mind driving around in it still even thou its slower than the CTR.

The CTR stick position is extremely adictive... I test drove a CTR back in May... and when I jumped back in my 106 it felt weird too... I think if I owned a CTR... and then went to something else it would be strange

I love me corsa to but i feel that i need something a little bigger and quicker. Also i found that once i had lowered and put alloys onto my corsa the ride become very bumpy and hard which i hated after a while. The CTR however is very addictive the gearstick feels nice and the Vtec is amazing

A good point is that i can still drive the corsa until october sometime when my insurance runs out for the car

Corsas all have stiff throttles. Newer corsa C's have very loose throttles, just different styles!
I prefer stiff IMO more control

Im thinking about lowering my Corsa C on eibach's -30mm just for looks and handling...

but if its gonna be a harsh ride like happy_2008 dont think i will bother!
What sorta ride do you think id get if i put these eibachs on then?
