lol  the sports models do sound like a lot of fun, i thought ford were going soft when they phased out the sportier models due to insurance, like the xr2's /3's /4x4's etc, they seem to be coming back now!

Totaly agree that the standard suspention is utter crap. And yes it understears like nothing i have ever driven before! But you will be so utterly ammazed by what diffrence the wheels and tyres make! The car is now so balanced its fantastic!
MiKorsa16v when you get the apex kit dont forget to adjust the brake load bias valve on the rear beem otherwise you will have a nasty shock when you put the breaks on hard.

Standard suspension on Corsa's is pant, understeer is just an excepted part of driving one when standard. But then when you drop it town on shocks and springs you get some amazing handling out of them, mine handles like a go kart.
Coming back from a mates house4 the shorty countryside route it used to take me 18 mins at night when its empty thrashing it, but then when I dropped my car 60mm on 15's I can make it back in 11 mins.
Much much better.
