Rite im sick of my slow 1.2 corsa c and imlooking for a 1.8 sri. Who ever has one, wot do you think to them, in terms of performance, and reliablity...
And how much do they retail at on average?
Cheers

Can get them for as little as £3k now really. It'll have high miles and be a pre-facelift, so look like an SXi.
Facelifts are the ones to get, so post 2004. Ok performance and can be made to handle well.
Tax will go up to £260/year though in 2010, or something ridiculous like that.
I'd have one if we didn't have money issues with running cars.

If you've ever been in a 1.6 corsa sport, or a corsa gsi (B)
They're the same speed.
Can get a decent one with about 30k on the clock for £4k.

I wouldn't, for the fact the I think the Corsa C is more refined etc.
Depends on your budget really though. Any Corsa B will fall under the previous tax bracket etc.
I think the 1.8's can return a half decent fuel economy when driven sensibly.

Drove my cousins 1.8 SRi C and IMHO id have lashed a 1.6 Sport.
They sound nice, and pull hard. Nothing like 20XE Pace but fast enough for a Corsa.
