nothing has ever fell of my car i can honestly say, and its my second corsa. 1 thing i will say about the saxo, open the boot and look inside the tailgate, you call that a trim? corners cut to make it cheap for boy racers

cat went, air flow meter, and thats it. suppose it may depend on age as a gsi would be a lot older than mine which is on a v plate

They're both 1.4 16v's with 90 brake, but the C's have a different head and inlet/ exhaust.

so what is faster out of all 3 cars? sri, sport or vtr? my mate says he can beat a vtr in a sri on a l plate but this sounds daft to me?

TBH mate, there's nothing in it worth saying buy "x" cause it's quicker. The later VTR's have 100 brake, and weigh slightly less, but i'd base your choice on which you prefer the look of, and what it's going to cost to run etc.
If your going for a 2003 model Sri, rmeeber you get 16"s, Irmscher spoiler, electric/heated M3's, Different lower grille, different seats and silver seat belts over the earlier SRi's  .
P.S, Buy mine .

Yes that is a daft statement. If its a Phase 2 VTR with 98-100bhp it will beat 1.4 sports and be pretty much even with a 1.6 sport in a straight line.

I owned my x reg Corsa from new for 3 years, I owned an 02 reg Saxo VTS for two weeks. Biggest pile of crap I have ever touched, so yes there is a massive difference in build quality.

Steven you might have just been unlucky tbh. The only problem my bro's had with his VTR was the exhaust blowing.

Leave a £4k wedge of cash in the boot and i could be stupid for the day .
I'd reccomend test driving all three though. Its surprising how much bigger the C feels IMO compared to the B, and even more so than the saxo (or 106), which feels tiny inside in comparison IMO.

It was the build quality! How can that be unlucky? When I shut the doors the whole roof wobbled, my Corsa B never did that!

suppose there ok to drive
need to have small feet though pedals are really close together
i would personally go for a sri corsa 1.8 lovely looking motors go well for what they are and will last alot longer than any saxo or corsa b
