took the corsa out for the last time for a few months today, not driven it for 4 weeks, had to break into it as my alarm seems ot have packed up (great) but i got it and it fired up straight away, suprised!
having been driving a 200bhp golf id got used to the idea of comfort and the fact the golf is reasonably fast.
the corsa is so much fun to drive and handles like a dream! i love it! upset 2 escort rst's on the way to ford fair and several bmw's! oh how ill miss the car whilst i save up for some lightening mods........

it does use fuel, i used about 1/3 of a tank today just abusing it, however the revs stay about 6k most of the time with me driving.
i have been using it as an every day car for exactly 9months today, so now i have a better car for everyday use i can spend some time working on the corsa and not worry about having no transport for work.
as for weight, not light as poss but just remove stuff i dont need, ill be keeping the sunroof tho so its never going to be majorly light
