dont think they are over rated the only bad point ive got to make about them is ive herd they are unreliable unless you rebuild them wich most people dont do. yeh you have gota point that maybe people dont insure them correctley but hey thats the whole point i suppose for young people to have sum fun haha

i would save your cash and buy a better car. Everyone on here will agree. Good thing about corsasport is that people know corsa isnt really a good car and people are not brand snobs so are happy to tell the truth. You could buy a saxo which is better and faster for cheaper than doing a conversion. Therefore, if you want an xe corsa, buy a saxo or save for a better car that is already faster.

The whole point? not really, it's a fucking stupid thing to do. If you can't afford to insure/tax the car then you shouldn't be changing the engine. Simple really.

insurance fraud isnt something to publically claim as young people having fun. What if you kill someone? Tell their parents or children you were just having fun.

because their over rated and a large majority of owners drive them insured incorrectly
how are they over rated
people think thier the best thing since sliced bread when after owning one they clearly arent, yes ok the torques nice but that is about the only good thing
they leak oil, they dont handle, you have to fix it at the weekend if driven hard
IMO SHIT

There's a difference between a discussion and an argument. Threads like this allways end in an argument
