Opinions on this please .

been looking at these for a while now want to move on from the corsa soon and dont want to go down your typical asian male route of a honda civic vti or any jap racers tbh.

always liked these just wondered what peoples opinions were i am looking at the 2.2 petrols and any other options of cars that i should consider in the 2.5k bracket

Get the V6, the 2.2 is ghey, the V6 is not.

Fiat Coupe is worth a look too (bit love/hate though)

Because insurance groups mean bugger all.

I can insure a Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo for less than a Corsa 1.8 SRi.

They're only group 19 anyway Jay

The Turbo Plus is group 20, but that has a silly bodykit which looks untidy.

Not really, no

The Civic looks better IMO. I've never liked the CRX
