and...they are a really good car to drive. it felt so smooth right through the revs, gear change was nice and it held the road really well for standard suspension.

shame it was a 5dr but its got me thinking...lovely car !

I've also like the thought of these.

Dad had a 1.8 SRi Vectra for a while, and that wasn't exactly sluggish.

Putting a 1.8 in a Corsa (I know the tuning might be different) and it should shift pretty well.

I would.

ive got a corsa c sxi + as a courtesy car at the moment. lovely car. 1.2 and very smooth. feels very nippy around town but cant hack it on the open roads. its the one with the half leathers. i love it really and might get one as a run around later in the year.
