looks awful, bit like a toy car, wouldn't expect it to handle, bet it weighs a fair bit too so wouldn't expect it to be that quick

Corsa D weighs less than the equivalent Clio. expect a 6 second 0-60 time. and it WILL handle. Gamma platform has been getting some awesome feedback from journos driving the Punto already

where was that? 200bhp + 1100kg is Corsa B LET territory. 6 seconds should be easy.

Wheres this feedback? Not putting the Corsa D down as it will prolly be a good all rounder but when i read two different test drives of the lesser models, they said it didnt handle as well as its other counterparts and felt unnerving which was by autoexpress.
