In all fairness its quite predictable just depends if you like that kind of thing?

would never even entertain the ford but def would give the saxo a chance... or the 106, but preferably the saxo for the main reason that they r cheaper than the 106...

I've got one as my runaround. Its superb. i've had 1.4 and 1.6 corsa and its not quite as quick as the 1.6, but the handling is far superior. £300 f/c aswell.

I also owned a 1.6 corsa sport for two years...
There performance are very similar..but the Fiesta obviously has much better handling...in fact its the best handling car (bar my MR2) I have owned...

I used it daily...went everywhere in it...
