So its faster than the Vec then. Put it this way, it was comparable on fuel to my Astra. Lexus was a nicer journey, just don't pull up next to any Corsa GSis.

I looked at these a couple of months back and a couple of years before when i was getting the Corsa.
Loverly cars, just silly on fuel. Possibly worth converting to LPG. For a straight six engine they are slow but it's a lot of car so put that down to weight.
I'd have one tomorrow! Just do too many miles to fuel one.

475 miles to £50 in my 1.6 Pug. That's taking it fairly easy though. 60/70 MPH
