at the end of the day they have almost the same power, a lot less torque, they arent even 16v so dont rev high. at the end of the day its down to the driver, ive had my corsa 4 years now so i would class myself as a good ddriver of my car.

It wasn't designed as a flat out hot hatch. Do you honestly believe Ford couldn't manage to get more than 100BHP out of the engine?
It may give away a few ponies to the corsa 1.6 but at least the words good, handling and fiesta can be used in the same sentence.

Same can be said then for the Corsa sport 1.6 16v...they are classed as warm hatches though thus the relativley low insurance group...
whats the torque for a 1.6 sport and ZS in comparison?

If its not an ST or an RS Ford do not class it as a hot hatch. Wait for the Fiesta ST or RS, then compare it to the mighty corsa GSi. Or better yet a 1.5TD.
