Sold my corsa. They picking it up tonight. going to be so painfull as i'v had it for 4 years and spent so much on it. if i was rich enough i'd keep it. But did get my 172 and its amazing. so fast especially as my corsa was 1.2 8v lol. The 172 has full exhaust system which sounds mint and 17" wheels. Love the interior.

Smart!

You'll love the power hike. Mine felt like a supercar when I went from 1.2 8v to 2.0 16v

Corsa 2.0 16v Vegas - Sold

Ye from 1.2 8v to this is luxury! all electric comfort and the speed difference is immense. Not going to drive like a tit. Drinks alot of petrol though lol so will need to drive under 3000 revs most of time when the novalty wears off. if ever lol

For me the novelty would be chuckign it around roundabouts like a loon and b road blasting rather then revving its arse off every 5 mins. I think cars like this do entice the lunancy out of you lol.

Do these suffer from lift off oversteer? have never driven one.

Best thing to improve the clio would be to get a set of 15's or if you into the looks a bit some 16's

mine has 15's on it and its awesome
