Corsa c sri 1.8 in silver
What do people think of them in general? Ive had 4 corsa b's and this is my first corsa c... just fancied something a little newer with low miles as i do alot of miles to work.
Any comments would be appreciated?

Didn't realise they made 1.8 pre-facelift Corsa C's 
Looks alright though does that.

Diesel + Turbo Vs NA
I like that, modified but not over the top and managable (i.e won't keep breaking smoothings etc..).
Get a grill, change the mirrors for the SRi ones (thats a 1.8, unsure why it hasn't got them already????). Has it got the rear disk beam?
And tune it, those 1.8's respond great to some tuning.

That's what I was thinking. Hence why I've probably never seen a pre-2003 1.8!
