Monkey...you can't compare a 1.6 corsa to a vtr as the corsa is 16v and the vtr 8v!
A VTS which is a 16V would piss on a 1.6 corsa.
I say go for the vtr...screw staying faitful to vauxhalls...they're wank mostly 
Yeah want some more speed now I have to rag the fuck out if the 1.2 to keep up with normal road users

i can compare a 1.6 Corsa to a VTR because we are not only looking at performance, both are similar insurance, Corsa is better built, better engine, and then the option of tuning the 1.6 or dropping in a 2.0 when older. much better option that a frickin VTR.

As for insurance I paid £800 fully comp on an 02 plate VTR at 19...probably a couple of hundred more for you being 18

What's the point in buying a car planning for the future, dropping another engine in? Live for now!! if you want a bigger engined car later on, then buy one!
it's cheaper to buy a pre-done XE or LET than do it yourself. FACT

ok then, i say he should buy a 20XE Corsa then but then hes buggered on insurance. so halfway house would be a Corsa GSi/Sport 1.6. decent performance, and still low milers about

My brothers is fine, nice to drive and although build quality is a bit iffy its not all that bad.
Also its not much that slower than a GSi
I wouldnt personally buy one but I can see the appeal and they are cheap as chips to buy

hahaha - i'm being deadly serious. Stretch a pair of tights over the airbox and it gives it an induction noise. I wouldn't do it, but it is a good budget way to.
