the majority of problems with 2.0 corsa's come from poor conversions, mine needed a hub when i had it, once i got it back together it was perfect. I'd love another XE corsa

corsas are better built than the 306. faster, but probly wont deliver more fun in the corners.
but personly i think my corsa is better to drive than my 306 lot more confident with it.
but i miss the space in my 306

well obviously the 306 is not that exciting else he wouldn't be considering selling it to get a corsa xe.

2.0 corsa's aren't as quick as they're made out to be... the pug is comfertable hence why it doesnt feel quick.. my mate has a gti-6 and it was a quick car but it was smooth... in a different league to the corsa im sorry to say

i know corsa xe's are nothing special but i have never seen a vts or a gti-6 pull away from a type r (civic bread van shape)or keep up with corsa xe's.

my vts was running about 140bhp, so power to weight it was a good match for a corsa or 306...
I used to think waw valver corsa's proper sleepers until I realised they were no different to the likes of a mildly tuned vts/gti
and when it comes to a corner bye bye valver!

shock fact
Corsa 2.0 arent the best cars in the world
They are fun, yes.... but I'd rather a car that was designed to take a 2.0 and handle
