Surely if the car has one of these top of range alarms its not going to get stolen.

the rs prob wouldnt be a every day car, in the summer yes. winter would most likely be put off the road.

Only one of them was visibly shit, the first Corsa, I just don't see the point in buying a car and not driving it

Alright Kenny... Hard choice..

If it was me I would be looking at running cost/repair bills etc..

If you have money sitting then I would be getting a LET or a bodied XE put in the corsa. You know the car and you know its a good shell.

Up to you in the end...

How much could you get for the GSi??? if your going to need to add about £2.5k to get the RST then maybe LET-ing the GSi would be a better idea???

The GSi looks better?

Everyone laugh with me, Hahahahaha!

Also. I love RS Turbos but as a toy I think not? Needs to be RWD to be classed as a toy thanks.

why not? i know loads of people who use them daily!

Dito, also know a couple people that drive s2 daily. Get the odd problem here and there but you always do with a car that old.
