Corsa has aircon as well.

I would rather Corsa and spend dosh on it.

Hold their value better as well.

Dunno how much the corsa is but 106 Gtis start at around 2.5 nowadays. 4k would get you a T plate or newer with average mileage and half leather.
Bargain for what you get IMO.

get the corsa.....




































:lol:

cant complain about mine really, as has been stated, loads of tuning potential, mine should be up around the 150bhp mark now, they handle very very well and as long as they are serviced well they are reliable, just take it easy with the gearbox though :|

106 gti is far better in every respect than the corsa sri, maybe apart from build quality

106

Faster
Better Handling
Half Leather
More fun, Raw, Chuckable
Pulls all the way to 7200 rpm
Cams, manifold, Exhaust, Filter, Remap will see you around 150-160 bhp:)

Corsa

Cheaper to insure
Probably more confortable


Reliablity issue for the 106 isnt valid if you buy a good one, Ive done 22,000 miles in mine in 18 months and take it to 7200rpm most days and I have had no problems.

Z18XE ;)

Personally i'd recomend trying them both. I know after driving my C, I find it almost clostraphobic driving my mums B, or my mates 106, just because they feel so much smaller inside. The C's feel a lot better build and "beefier" inside.

Only thing i hate about mine is the fact that 5th gear is way too short, and the engie sits "screaming" at 4k+ RPM at 80Mph :|. Mines a 1.4, but the 1.8 has the same gearbox, or atleast the same gear ratios.

And the X18XE is a very easy engine to release a decent 45bhp out of

Regal do a kit which includes a new inlet manifold, new cams, exhaust manifold with de-cat and a remap for £2k and that will give you

170bhp and still be very realiable.

Yeah that's what i thought, pug is quite alot smaller. Looks wise think i like the SRi more.
Cheers though helped me a bit

theres 132 Kg difference in weight...nothing a bit of tuning wouldn't overcome.

Vauxhall Corsa C 1.8 16v 123BHP
Peugeot 106 GTi 120BHP

even in terms of hp but pug is much lighter

Pug is faster on paper but the 1.8 SRi is more motorway friendly IMO

If you like driving your car quick through the back roads then the GTi is the best bet. However they break alot...


Corsa is better build, and I would hazard a guess at it being more torquey than the pug


Chris C

posted on 15th Jun 05 at 13:39

Yeah i think i prefer the 1.8, hummm Cheers

corrado VR6 i believe


Sly_SRi

posted on 15th Jun 05 at 13:38

GTi, which is what i'd get. lighter and lots of tuning potential.

Although i reckon a 1.8 SRi is 'cooler'
