	Mini is a wicked car imo.. I had a Mini ONE as a courtesy car, beat cars that it should no way have been near... Just shows what good handling can do.. Never had such a laugh in a car before, tyres screeching on every corner, the feedback is absolutly superb.. gives you loads of confidence..

	i know, we make the flywheel for them never found out it was a vauxhall flywheel until a few months ago tho

	Vaux have been using Isuzu engines for years, costs millions to develop an engine

Can see a lot of mixed opinions from that comment lol I wouldnt have a problem with that since all skoda engines are made by VW. Dave is right. Plus GM have a share in Fiat. Thats why the vectra has the 1.9 diesel from fiats and alfas in the veccy too. Also why the 2.0 turbo veccy is a saab engine And in japan the zafira is sold as a Subaru. :thumbs: Yes i know thats why i deleted my post! i'm thinking a bit slow tonight drunk a bit too much lager :)

	Sometimes it makes sense not too spend money developing an engine from scratch and just but someone else's. Its been happening for years. I might be wrong but I heard Suzuki make the 1.2 16v Corsa engine.

	well why cant vauxhall design thereown engines nowadays?
Ryan L	posted on 22nd Feb 04 at 22:56
	yeah its a FIAT engine, whats wrong with that, meant to be very good mpg, and if you buying a 1.3 diesel thats what your after i'm guessing
J4MIE P	posted on 22nd Feb 04 at 22:56
	Its good tho, v quiet and efficient (common rail). Plus turbo means tuning potential Felt faster than my 1.2 16v C. Mini is amazing, but yes it is a bit thirsty.
BabyBlade	posted on 22nd Feb 04 at 22:53
	fiat engine in a corsa? ah crap :(
Dave	posted on 22nd Feb 04 at 22:53
	New diesel, Fiat engine I think.

	MINI COOPER S NEW GOLF GT TDI CORSA 1.3 CDTi ASTRA 1.7 CDTi Was very suprised with the golf, they have really sorted the handling, and it felt far far faster than its supposed to be Was very impressed with the 1.3 corsa, engine is excellent for what it is. As for the mini, well I think its love;) Opinions?
