Go for the pug mate. Much more of a car for the money. Good build quality for a french car too.

I looked at one a few months ago but decided to pay debts instead

306 everytime.

straight out the box will give u 7.5 to 60, and 140mph, oh and lovely 6 gears. Filter, induction, and that corsa aint gettin away.

Then u got air con, leather/alacantara, better looking, auto lights/wipers, loadsa air bags, discs all round, real alu dash.....basically a luxury hot hatch.

Oh, and dont even get me started on handling. lol. 306 is one of the best handling production cars ever built. A front heavy 2.0 corsa.....

keep to straight roads.

standard hot hatch allways gonna eb better than one thats been converted

pug may be better handling but for what it is a xe corsa hadles very very well if youve got a good suspension set up

306's are very wide on the road, which is why they handle well.

pug gti-6 came with the engine from the factory
the corsa didn't come out the factory with a 2litre engine

Corsa XE. Ignore myths of poor handling, most people that say "keep them on straight roads" etc have probably never seen one let alone driven one. Get a decent shell and decent suspension and you've got a top motor that will more than suprise many other "hot hatches"

yup got to agree dont belive the myth of corsa valvers not handling as mines just fine

altho if i had the dosh i would get the pug and be prepared for leaky sunroof, engines arnt meant to be that strong? (from talking to a mate who had one) and some times the lift off oversteer can catch you and land you in the nearest heage

Drove a corsa xe running eibach springs + billies all round, and it was still pish. this was on a track day, and STANDARD 106 GTis on 14"s at normal height pissed all over us.

What i'm saying is tho, unless u spend major dosh, it will simply never handle as well as a gti6 does, straight out the box.
