The 1.8 SRI mate? Corsa C?

Compared to the 0-60 time of 8 secs i think it's somthing like 32 MPG.If i was gonna get another corsa i would go for the 1.8 :) Decent insurance too!

it depends on how much u put ur foot down, my 1.6 gsi if i put foot down alot bye bye petrol but if i drive it like a old person it goes for ages, me dads got a 1.8 16v zetec escort and its exactly the same
