nope, im saying i dont "think" in most of this.

like i said the major problem for me is it looks foul, it doesnt seem like it drives any worse than anything else in its class based on the reviews, but i dont think it will be amazing.

That is all

You're as bad as Teddy with his 'which suspension set up is better' thread, where he posted pics of 2 different cars on 2 different corners

In My Opinion after testing for a future car :

Cooper S
Clio 182
Corsa VXR

the Corsa VXR to date is the winner from my test drives. then it would be the mini and the Clio got thrown from my possible buys because i just dont like it.

You cock, the roof doesn't weigh much compared to the major mechanical components, all of which are fairly close to the road on both cars.

Height of the roof affects handling

So the Corsa will win if you fit a fibreglass roof box to the 106 What about if either has the factory sunroof option, that'll slow you down in the corners

Do us all a favour and just drive one.
