What? My dads Escort GTi was the same speed as a 206 GTi that I raced down the slip road onto the M4 on the way the to pick the rents up from Bristol, nothing in it.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but a 206 GTi would beat a 1.6 16v Corsa would it not?
They are the same speed as the Astra 1.8 16v 125bhp, I don't know where you guys get the idea that they are slow and don't handle?
Have you actually ever driven one? Probably not.
I seriously would contemplate buying one as a second car even though they are Ford I like them that much.

I'm pretty sure the 1.8 16v GTi my dad had on a R-plate was 130bhp.

It was crap and I hated everything about it. Had to cain it to accelerate.
My 1.4 16V Sport was nippier and quicker.
