Corsa 1.3 CDTi Limited Edition :/

Not a lot planned, I stuck a DTUK box on it for now until Warren can map it.

Goes very well tbh, much easier to drive fast around town than the Clio.

Needs a set of Eibachs and colour code the front grille.

It's not perfect and I'd prefer a map but it has made a nice difference with the torque and it will do 110mph now

Can i ask why you went for the 1.3 CDTI Corsa D over anything else on the market?

Never. Maybe some plain plates actually.
Oh quite like an SRi steering wheel with the thumb grips but meh.

How do you find the gearbox? For a newish car I find the one on the girlfriend's quite hard and crunchy, far worse than a lot of other new cars I've driven lately.

Only notchy when going down to second. Drove my 197 today to AutoSport and it feels far better inside than the Corsa and driving position much better.

The gearbox is really the only criticism I have. I think the car is well made and it feels pretty solid, the LEs handle quite well with the wider wheels and stiffer suspension.

The 1.3CDTi has VXR suspension, the 1.2 doesn't

Still think the Sri is a better looking car , certainly more limited around here anyway. Only thing that annoys me is mine hasn't got the tinted headlights.

You have Pentas and an awful interior. I do want the SRi steering wheel though, oh and the factory fit sat nav. Was lucky mine got Bluetooth so go the better instrument display.

I've got a 1.3CDTi too, It's djgritt on here with the 1.2.

I don't like that they don't colour code the wing mirrors any more...but I'm jealous of the smoked headlights.

Yeah I prefer the body colour wing mirrors, my headlights transform it though, the clear ones looks really cheap in comparison.

An awful interior? Better than the unlimited edition IMO.

Didn't mean to sound harsh, just the SRi seats are a bit mental.

Is the SRi the one with the ugly tyre tread pattern? That looks shite. LE interior is far nicer. Just a matter of opinion.

Doesn't sound harsh at all I'm not one to cry about your views on it mate. I prefer the Sri interior, steering wheel does make a great difference.

And yes it's the one with the tread pattern on the seats , pretty mad looking.
