bollocks to wot the books say, no car is the same, u cant say every corsa 1.6 sport will do 0-60 in 9.5 secs and a suzuki swift gti will do it in 8.7 secs... ya can only tell wot it does if ya test it urself IMO

you can rev the nuts of them wee swifts, i actually quite like them
factory figures are usually crap, i take them with a pinch of salt
Pug's & VW's factory figures are with a passenger and half a tank of fuel i know for defo, dunno bout other manufacturers
i have a 1988 billboard advert for my 16v and VAG state in it, that it does 0-60 in 7.1s even though the factory figures state 7.9s
106's are something stupid like 8.2s if i remember correctly, but are really 7.4

aye but s'pose u cant compare a 1.3 to 1.6 coz its not a fair test I guess... (contradicting myself now) but 100bhp for a 1.3 is pukka!

The swift comes with around 130bhp on the gti, twin cam. if u find a gud swift thats been well looked after i believe these would beat the corsa gsi, but it wud b a close one with the pug gti. I was gunna get one of these swifts gti before i got my gsi but even tho the engines r gud the shell is very tinny and is more like a empty tin of beans with a gud engine, but i nice little fast car and isn't that much on insurance.
