Corsa easily, far superior build quality, look much better and more tuning/styling parts available for them

Cheers mate, i agree that Corsas are far more superior to Puntos. Its just getting hold of a decent one in my area, i will most probably start off with a standard from start and build it up myself...
Your motor looks great by the way!

Smaller car? And fiestas are bigger than corsas?????
Puntos are cool, but for ease of modding with the best selection of styling tuning parts, corsa every time

Depends what your conviction statues is like, how much money u have to spend etc.
Sportiest models are the 1.4 16v Sport, 1.6 16v GSi, and 1.6 16v Sport.

I have AC10 AC20 CD10 and it cost me nearly a grand to insure my Fiesta which is 1ltr, so i couldnt go any higher than 1.2ltr.

Corsas will also be a lot cheaper on parts aswell. If u cant go bigger than a 1.2, get the 1.2 16v engine. How much u got to spend mate?

Ur best option is a Corsa B 1.2 SXi. Can pick em up for bugger all now. Not sure what the B's have, think its about 65-70bhp. But leccy windows, mirrors, rev counter etc and planty of potential if you intend to keep the car, when u've got some NCB to slap a big engine in it.
Pocket rocket then So glad i done mine
