sport is just a poor car, its like th astra sport was never half of what the astra gsi was. gsi corsa will be worth more than a sport both in the same condition

So why does having the GSi interior and bumpers make the GSi so much better than a 1.6 Sport? Cos like I say thats the only major things that are different. I like GSi's, I just dont see why you think its alot better than a Sport apart from the styling

GSI is the best Corsa B... i enjoy driving the wifes gsi more than my sport if im honest

but most come with trouble, so the sport is the safe option imo

no i agree, neither is better car than the other, just if i wanted the best corsa, it is a gsi. if the sport was so great why does it look like a 1.2? id not be happy if i had bought a sport. has to be a gsi

i read in total vauxhall that the gsi was orginally built by lotus an came out of the factory at some silly bhp for a 1.6 in them days, they then went bk to vauxhall an madly restricted down to 109 bhp an went on sale its no bull shit

http://www.smallblockxe.com/engine.htm bit of info on it.

lotus did have a hand in it, but there is alot more to it that just saying its the better engine!

infact if you went into all the details it is probably a more unreliable engine than the x16xe.

obviously thats all IMO!

also the gsi was fitted with both the c16xe and the x16xe.

if i was looking at buying a sport or a gsi, id get the sport for the extras it has, then if i was desperate for the look id get the gsi kit....
