as title says really, fed up with 1400 16v 'power' and want something quite practical really so dont wanna be putting a c20xe into my current corsa or anythin so its a toss up between a mk4 sri astra 2.0 16v or 1.8 16v in black or another corsa but a 1.6 16v sport in either red or white with white or black wheels?... cheers for any opinions as i cant make up my mind wheter to save the xtra cash and have bigger car or go for another corsa...
p.s this is my current corsa only it sits alot lower than that now, just havent taken any recent pics... cheers
so something like this (mk4 2.0 16v sri with prodrive kit, gsi spoiler):
or something like this:

I got a 2.0i Honda Accord (no taxi jokes) - pure luxury to drive but expensive to run.
It may be worth bearing in mind with soaring petrol prices.
I'd go for the Corsa - they rock.

mite go for the 1.8 16v sri then as it wont be as much of a fuel guzzler as the 2.0 16v and ive heard that it is .5 of a second quicker to 60 than the 2.0 16v sri as it has shorter ratio gearbox. atleast thats what everyone argues about on the astra-sport.co.uk website and the stats in the back of total vauxhall also suggest this. that way i would have the cheaper to run but faster car with a lower insurance group becuase im never gonna be having the top end speed out of it realisticly. cheers for any advice peeps..

Get the corsa, it'll be more fun to drive than either of the astra's.
