its 110bhp from the 1.5, so not bad at all. 105lb/ft at 4000rpm too, so its got heaps of torque where it matters

I just checked out the Toyota website, they don't do a 1.5 I was looking to see if they do a fast, nippy one like they did in the old shape, can't remember what they're called though...just remembered, T Sport.

apparently Holden have said unofficially that they are NOT interested in the euro Corsa   fucking dumb arse idiots know how dangerous that shit korean Daewoo stuff is, yet are still willing to sell it to the public because it makes them more money. another soul-less corporation
