Afetr driving the girls one alot I'm really liking them, fair enough they aint the best built car in the world but they are pretty quick and the handling is amazing

just my opinion...I don't really like 106's in any form......thats just me....But claires is nice and subtley styled but for me a corsa over 106 anytime.
I would spend the money getting the corsa 100%......
The corsa is faster and better looking and better built, just older and needing a wee bit TLC.

Yea the corsa is built better but its getting on a bit now (13yrs old) and as for the speed claires will keep up with mine till 70mph easily, with a set of cams and a remap then dare I say it shed have the upper hand, I know what your saying though each to there own and all that

I have size 9 feet and the pedals aint a problem for me as long as I'm wearing trainers lol
when you say french car do you mean to say that if you had the choice of a Clio 182 cup and a corsa youd pick the corsa???

i've been looking at them also one with a GTI engine would be great but there pretty hard to get for under £3k plus it would need to be the S2 version

if i was that someone was going to give me a 182 then i would have the 182 then sell it on, but if i had the money to by the 182, i would rather by a corsa and make it faster than a 182

totally disagree with what people have been saying, that 106 has way more going for it... engine, and looks... would never have a corsa over a 106.. looks better and handles better... and in most cases is quicker... dont understnad some people

I agree with you, but then again i drive a 306! A corsa would never touch a 106 or 306 for handling whatever set-up or engine it was running. IMO.

I have the pleasure of driving both cars and I find the corsa better built but the 106 more fun and just as good looking
