its just that 3-door models are so hard to come by

thanks.
Ive headr that the mk4 handles very well, is comfortable, and the 1.8 16 engine is very nice, quite revvy (some say its feels like a c20xe when driven)
And they look ace!!

moddedcorsa, the 1.8 sri is only group 9,and at 19 1yrs ncb ur looking at around 1500 fc( i was quoted 1900 fc at 18 no ncb) mk4 astras are cheap at the mo so there gonna be a steal when the mk5 comes out, if i were you id get one as long as your gonna hang onto it for a while and a 1.8 sri would be a nice step from a 1.2 8v :)

I did think about this, but for insurance reasons, a 1.6 is gonna be too expensive (got quote on a p-reg 1.6 sport, and that was almost £1800 fc) and a 2.0 is a deff no way.
A 1.4 wouldnt be that bad, but i dont really like the way the corsa handles (and thats with a full fk suspension kit) If i cant find a mk4 for the right price, i may consider a 1.4 16v conversion

drop a better engine in the corsa?

So don't sell it for a few years!

Its only an issue if you want move it on in less than 24 months.

I am considering this too, even the dealer told me its a bad idea. It'll fall like a tonne of bricks when the new one comes out (very soon)

Depends how long you keep it. You'll do OK deal-wise at the moment, just don't sell it any time soon.

Ive a 1.2 8v corsa breeze, just want a faster car and i really like the mk4 astra 1.8sxi, my plan was wait till end of summer when they will be cheaper after the mk5 is introduced in may.
But now im thinking the mk4 will depreciate like fook, whats every1 elses thoughts??:o
