My mate has a 1.2 Corsa C which kept it with my 1.4 Corsa C up to around 50. Then i'd loose him.

I miss that car so much :(

I noticed on Parkers there was a 1.5td SXi.

Must be like your car, but older!

Exactly what I was thinking - and there wasn't :lol: SXi, in Corsa B was ONLY 1.2 16v.

Ratios are tiny in the small engines.

My mum had a corsa b sting 1.0 12v.
Ive got a corsa b sxi 1.2 16v

1.2 is much better all round. Quicker and pulls better on motorway. The 1.0 was a bit lost on the motorway but was fine around town. It just sounded faster cause the engine note was different, as its a 3 pot engine. Where the 1.2 is screaming a bit past 4000, the 1.0 still sounds buzzy. My 1.2 doesnt really use much more petrol than the 1.0. Maybe 2 - 3 mpg worse.

They didnt put shorter ratios on the 1.0 engines to make them feel abit quicker did they? That said, the 1.2 16v i learned to drive in felt like it had tiny gear ratios too :|

Very similar, yes.

Sting didn't have Sport interior iirc.

must be a sting, looks the same

Sting is similar to the SXi. Spoiler and Sport alloys, but the 3 spoke style (not GSi).

i don't know whats up with your 1.2 16V B but my mates feels alot faster than the 1.0 i used to drive around...

there all not going to be that much quicker than eachother tbh

I drive a 1.2 16v Corsa B Envoy to work and back everyday and its quite nippy

I drive my girlfriends 1.0 12v B sxi and it feels a lot quicker to 40 and then lacks power

I also have a 1.0 12v corsa C (basic model) and this is by far quicker then both

Drove a 1.2 16v Corsa C sxi today and it was the most sluggish out of them all, it did have air con and was top spec, but the engine just did not feel right

Anyone else have experience of it? Might have just been me, but I thought the 1.2 C should be quicker although heavier

I know I am nit picking but I don't want to buy it if they are all that slow as this is the first 1.2 16v C I have drove

Thanks
