Hi guys, been thinking about perhaps selling the Corsa and getting something else now, really unsure what though, needs to be around 8 secs 0 - 60.
Im loving the look of the S2 Rallye's seem pretty nippy and ive heard they handle rather good Anyone got any view's on them ?
Thanks Rob.

Suprisingly I quite like them
Seen a few on eBay over the past few months with GTi engines! Bet they fly!
Some 15" Speedline Turinis and your sorted...

Nice cars mate but very much a no frills car on the interior. I went for the GTI because i wanted leather etc. Am i right in thinking the Rallye is an 8-valve engine or were the s2's 16v

Id go for the s1 too, although I wouldnt doubt the s2. Could always get a 16v rallye, although its against me religion.

If you want a 16v s2, buy a gti.

They look the same GTI's do come in white I believe also, but they are very rare. Not enough rallyes left around for people to keep fucking with them imo. Rally is or leave it I say lol. I know Paul_J will disagree

I see what you are saying. Its like some people that say you shouldn't mess with Astra 888s for example.
Didn't know GTis came in white!
They dont look the same as they have the decals...
whats the interior of a Rallye like? Do they have rear seats?
