i take back
had a VTS today to take for an MOT at work
is such a laugh, handles so so much better than a standard corsa, even mine possibly
just genrally driving feels alot more intresting than the corsa, and are so much better than i thought originally
doesnt feel as stable, corsa feels much more sure footed but saxo turns in so much better
would love the opertunity to drive one round a track

The Saxo is the worst offender for over use of plastic though. Corsa's have trimmed bits in the interior. Saxo's don't

Surely no interior = no rattles? Or would that make too much sense

its the fact that if you hit something your gonna die
corsa's fold, but even the really bad crashes ive seen the person is generally ok
where as a crash half as bad in a saxo ive seen the guy die
