Mine has never been off the road whilst i have had it - i re-converted mine cos some one in wakefield did a dog of a job, now its perfect cos i did it
as for handling....well its good in the dry and good in the wet, not much traction tho if you plant it on cheap tyres
Best advice i got was -
"Buy it, Drive it, Learn it, Have fun + smile at the big boys as you pass

I use my corsa every day. Not had any major problems so far. Good thing is parts are so cheap cause theres so many c20xe's around!
As for racing....well, beat a starlet turbo the other night. But their only 133 bhp so its not a great achievment...

Xe Corsa's are seriously fun to drive. I'm selling my one this Friday. I'll miss it like mad.
