I just realised there's two different Corsa D 1,3 CDTI's. | |

Driven one in an Astra and its a pretty nippy engine... i imagine the corsa d is lighter? Quite a fan of the 1.3CDTi in a corsa as well, i've test drove the C and D versions of the 1.3CDTi, and the D is really stupid quick for a small diesel. You just nudge the throttle and it shoots off, lovely car to drive - actually preferred it to the VXR... maybe thats biased because I prefer driving diesels though? | |

I did drive the 1.3 CDTI, but to be honest it's just a tad to slow. Overtaking on the motorway is a bitch in it and yet I seem to really miss that 6th gear. | |

Depends if it has the wank ECU though as to whether it can be remapped. | |

I'd test drive a 1.3CDTi Corsa D. 90ps as opposed to 70odd in the Corsa C. Probably quite nippy and might return better fuel economy. | |

No, the Corsa C is 100 bhp is it not? The Corsa D is 125 bhp. | |

Same engine as the Corsa C CDTI SRi IIRC? | |

I've considered chaning to a more economical car, but as I don't want anything painfully slow the 1.7 CDTI seems like an obvious choice. |
