What shape?

I like the old ones but they are a pain to live with if you're used to a Corsa. Nowhere to put anything and the visibility is worse.

New ones I've never really liked, mainly because as I prefer the Astra TT.

i like them, i had one after a corsa for a bit and they handle better and have a better top speed. dowsides are no door pockets and the rear seats are only good if you are under 7 years old!

usual corsa problens plus rusty rear arches are rusty sills, make sure you pop the skirts off to check as they really do rot under there.

I like them. My mrs had the old one and now shes got a new one which is just a birds car and sould be a crime if a bloke drives one I agree with Ian.. Men should stick to the Astra TT.

If your building one like my mates then it does turn it manly






This is currently on its running in map but next monday should well be in the region of 500hp.

The answer to all your ?'s is... Ive no idea mate.. this is my mates car and hes been building the car for some time now and due to me having a corsa turbo ive never asked were the stuff is from kid. Cage is from down south somewhere and its been installed with paperwork. I remember him sending the bare shell away. Was'nt cheap. All the other gear is ebay i think. Sorry to be no help dude

i rather like them the one i had felt nicer to drive than a corsa somehow was a rot box though and ended up getting stripped. I wouldnt say the weight difference is much the boot is made of plastic so i doubt its any heavier than a corsa

If you fancy a gay coupe, you're much better off with a puma

I'd much rather a Puma over Tigra. Not sure what is says about me though
