Corsa C has a run in period of 600 miles. Dont thrash it. Your engine will be smooth and quiet after a few thousand miles. | |

You would be a fool not to run it in whether you were told to or not. | |

Anyway mines a new sxi 1.2, I'd say this car has more than 75 bhp, nearer 85, comparing it with a bout a dozen small cars or so I've lived with in past five years, saxos, corsas, fiestas etc. | |

They say it can shorten life of engine if you don't take it easy when its new, I think regular oil changes and warming the engine from cold before booting it is a better long term plan for engine longevity. Most folks rag their car from cold. This geek over the road from us sits on the drive revving the bollocks out of his Saxo to warm it up from cold then thrashes it out the road. Its Xreg and smokes like a twat on the overrun. | |

i got my corsa c with 17 miles on clock and was told to hammer the hell out of it by the salesman so any problems would show up early while i still had a form of warranty before i modified it, took his advice too, gave it some serious shit on way home from picking it up and never had a single problem | |

They told me to keep it easy for the first 500 miles, my Dad's Porsche had to be kept below 4,000RPM for the first 2000 miles, D'oh :( | |
