Im trying to decide what to do.
ive had my corsa for a month now, really like it, but dont trust it with corners etc.
so im debating on getting a 106 quicksilver in november and treating my self.
All i really want to know is your opinions, should i keep the corsa and 2litre it, or should i get a 106 quicksilver?
cheers.

I dont see why you need a car to "handle" on the public road 
Ive got a Mondeo TDCi barge and it drives perfectly on the road.... maybe its the way you drive?

i still drive like im on my driving lessons since im just a noob
and yeah been looking at civics my mate was selling his when i was looking for my first car but insurance was pretty high.
Ive got alloys in the cupboard for the corsa, getting the rubbers at the weekend and then will look for springs ideally 100mm drop

Tbh, you'll probably die with lift off oversteer by the sound of things.

dont be in a hurry to buy an expensive car at a young age, E.G 2.0 corsa, insurance is expensive at 17/18/19 for a reason. Before you know it you'll be in your 20's, driving years and can get a fast car. Keep it slow and sensible and build up your NCB
