To clarify, some clueless and braindead Corsa fanboys say that because their poor cars have poor engines, the Twin-Cam Vvt 16v engine in the Ignis Sport couldn't possibly be remapped to the values clearly seen in multiple dyno printouts. The Corsa owners were wrong. End of.
Not that i own it now as i sold it on, but i beleive my corsa shit though it apprently is according to jd power, would have eaten your japaneese plastic dustbin for breakfast sunny

I actually cannot think of anything which sums up the stupidity of this comment 
As for the "corsa engines are crap" line
The small 16v engines are THE best ones available.
You say the 1.5 VVT is good for 200bhp with an overbore to 1600? SBD have got 256bhp from a C16XE with a STANDARD bore.
A 1700 would make more power.
A Z18XE with a turbo made 310bhp, and is capable of more.
But clearly the VVT engine is better 
As for build quality, give me a Corsa and an Ignis and I'll get the Ignis apart quicker, without undoing any screws.
I know which one I'd rather drive, I've owned 3, not because I have no imagination, because they are good cars. I'd like another. I looked at loads of cars when I was looking to replace my last Corsa, Including the Ignis, which I did not like, as I felt like i was about 5 feet off the floor, so I bought another Corsa.
You seem to be deluded, thinking that we all drive cars which should be seen on BarryBoys, with 'lexus' lights, and neons, so, if you can make a sweeping generalisation like that, I will also make one.
The Suzuki Ignis is shit, and most of the people who drive them are cunts.

no they arent steve, they can remap a corsa c 1.8 sri (123bhp standard) to 145+ bhp and get nearly 100bhp from a 1.2 corsa C with a 5 min flash remap.
nobody else can, so they must be a fantastic company
