Not far off 106 to 60 once past 60 they pull past. As tested most days on way home with fella from work. They're not amazingly fast but quick enough for big lazy v6 engine.
106 GTi? Never thought they were that nippy, what are they like on fuel?

I get about 33 work and back and 26-27 towing corsa to crail etc. Not amazing round town. Had 39mpg from Carlisle to near stoke last year and back. Steady 75-80 on motorway.

Truth be told I think I'd miss this car if I changed it.

£500 is a big chunk towards some scene mods for the Corsa or a new Vectra though.
Your car and your cash. But I know you keep talking about the newer GSi's

Well I could easily keep this car another year or 2. I think they are perhaps a better looking car than the next shape gsi. Will have a think tonight.

have gaz non golds on corsa now. theyre alright for what it is. have to turret the rear for golds dont you?
in nearly 3 years, only thing ive done to the vectra is fit an ipod radio which was about 130 quid, and fit a tow bar. i think it needs wheels.

Do it mate! Looks much better than the wheels that are on it atm! Plus if you need the money/ don't like them I'm sure you can sell them on and not lose too much if your getting them through work!
