Just curious really, i've seen a lot of comments on here saying how crap the corsa c's are and how the b's are much better.... don't understand how 
If you say no, say why?

I prefer the B over the C but prefer the C over the D. Ive had 2 B's though so maybe biased (plus first car was a B and I think however shit your first car is you will always love it) 
edit - however, I / we would find it very difficult to go now from an Escort / Astra back down to a tiny shitbox sized car hehe

The b's are better looking imo.
Never been keen on the C's.
But i do dislike most modern cars.

i just wanted a newer car, less problems..but no difference tbh
newer car is always better
but the sport just felt nippy and felt smaller and i could park in it!!

I like C's. They're bigger and comfortable to drive.
Would be great as a runaround car but after the 2.0 B I think I'd get bored of the C's comfiness? Does that make sence?

I do like em but, I'm not sure, with most you have to do quite a bit to them before they are noticably not standard. I don't know why tho, Nick's I think is stunning, and Phi's was looking very nice at PVS too, but most don't really tend to catch my eye 
I've driven one C and one B on the road and I hated the C although that was mainly down to the gearbox, it was a semi-auto and it was completely useless tbh, gearchanges took about a second and you had to come off the throttle anyway so you might as well press a clutch down too. I've heard that the C's are easier to drive, light steering and controls etc. but as a few people know, that's not really my sort of thing
All I know is I love my B, I wouldn't buy a C personally I just think the B looks better and small mods seem to give a bigger effect.
Oh Rich's C looked stunning at PVS too

No, I would much prefer a B. Feel more like you are actually driving, prefer the look of the B. I have never really like the Corsa C, some look ok other than that i'm not a fan.

That's what confuses me tbh, yours isn't far off standard, same with Nick's but I see em and think, they look the shit but then I see others that have been slightly modified and think they look boring and standard
Although I must admit I think the facelift made a HUGE difference, still wouldn't have one tho
And as for lighter steering in a C  How? I took the fuse out of mine and prefered it without then I put the fuse back why my dad used it, forgot to take it back out and it felt like my steering wheel wasn't connected the the wheels, it was scary  Far too light for me, can't see me ever like driving a C

I can't really be biased as i've had 3 b's and 1 c....
But I prefer the c's. The b's are great, awesome with a big engine, and look MUCH better than the c's with a few little mod's. C's are built far better, more comfortable and less problems as they're newer.
I'd probably like the c's if I had a LET but its just slow and boring tbh

I do like C's but not a lot of the modified ones becuase all the modified ones have SRi wheels and its annoying because there aint much to like about them

I like them because they are more refined than the Corsa B imho.
And the range they do is phenomenal, something for everyone imho.

Iv just gone from a b to a c and I don't know which I like the most yet.
I love driving both cars, really good fun and they both look so nice with good modifications.

i say no.. straingly
the C's drive better they came more equipt (sp) they had more punchy engines and much much better breaks
i just prefer the B as its a bit of a underdog really...
