gone from a mk4 golf (to much to buy,insure and run) to a focus (looks gash and for when I retire) to a mk4 astra( prices are ridiculous up here to buy), and finally decided on someting I like the look of, fairly quick and not to bad to buy BUT...... is it worth saving that little bit more for the bigger engine ?? corsa c 1.4 sri OR 1.8 sri, theres a 1.4 sri near me for 2.5K or a nice flame red one for 5K, help appreciated people

erm.... astra WILL be cheaper, surely? cheaper to insure, cheaper to buy... you'll get a 1.8 sxi astra for 2.5k, and its a better car than the Corsa

Thats not a proper sri like the newer ones either.
The 1st ones were more sxi spec.
It's probably done about 300k miles as well.
