thats why i want a 20xe, as the 1.6 will take £££'s to make it grin worthy.

i don't think the handling issue and extra weight will really affect the driving

Hence why I gave up on the 16XE ages ago.

valver is the only option!
with the mantxel it will be worse, red corsa was peak between like 5k and 7.5k low range and mid was pants! needed a unichip to cure that!

Mantzel & Unichip are on my January sales shopping list.

I don't want C20XE, the Nova is'nt strong enough for it, and I want this car to last longer than 2 years without having to re-shell it.

I doubt they will insure me on a C20XE anyway.
