I disagree, they can handle higher speeds with more ease than the Corsa B equivilent.

There's the performance specs. 10.5 secs versus 13 secs is gonna be a noticable difference.

get the 1.7DTi as it has the same performance on a flat bit of road with no people in car as the 1.2 sxi but its better uphills and the 1.2 is really bad on fuel. 1.4 sri is good as well tho if u want that bit better performance

one of my mates has an 52 plate sxi, i think its actually quite rapid, only complaint he has is that it sounds like a hair dryer, easyily solved
diesel sxi however also has a better rear suspention setup and lowered sport suspention over the 1.2.
