I am having a bit of trouble of which corsa i should get next. this is what i like:
corsa b 1.2 sxi
corsa b 1.4 sport
corsa c 1.2 sxi
corsa c 1.4 sri
as you can see i only want a 16v for my next one. which one of these would be a good up grade for a 1.2 8v merit

well i like the c but i had a loan car from vauxhall which was a 1.2 comfort. it was quicker than my b 1.2 but just lacked a bit of top end. whats the 1.4 like for either b or c

Well i got a C shape SRI n it goes like shit off a shuvel, ive had every SXI boyracer style'e try n hve a go, n ive dicked em all off, so i dunno y people say there aint much difference, cuz there is, there all trying to talk up there car, n im sorry if i piss people off buy saying that, but its the truth i had both cars over a 3 day test period <SXI n SRI> n the SRI packs alot more power topend and acceleration. so go for that m8. i mean wud u rather have SXI at 75bhp and 0-60in 12 secs or an SRI 92BHP 0-60 10secs????
im 18 n my insurance with tesco fully comp on own polocy with 1 YNCB is £1230ish roughly

if u look at max powers stats,
SRI 1.4 0-60 same, BHP same and the VTR is a 1.6 yeh only 8V but still.
plus every fuckers got a saxo, so if u got a Corsa C SRI, ull look the bollocks, cuz they are gorgeous, so much more than a saxo, you'll be different cuz theres not many about at all, n they look chunkyer n everythings about a corsa is better than a saxo i really dont belive that he even posted that on this site.

not many corsa C's about??? PMSL :
vtr - 0-60 9.5 secs, 90bhp (mk1) 98bhp (mk2)
corsa 1.4 sri - 0-60 10.5 secs 90 bhp
corsa's dont hande anywhere near as good as saxo's.
the vtr is also a much lighter car than the corsa C so therefore the power:weight ratio is higher hence the vtr is faster

True, the saxo does handle better.
But i'd rather put up with somthing that can be sorted with a few suspension mods than dated interior, no space and that stupid cable clutch.
