So your definately wanting a newer car then, no option of putting a LET in the corsa if you want more power?whenever i went to a new car i found them boring, dull and lacking character, no way would i get rid of the b for that, especially not finance.

so you have a 2.0ltr corsa b 150bhp? and then going onto a 1.6 turbo 150 corsa d? wont the extra weight of the d make it feel slower than the b? or with the turbo make it feel the same?

Buy a used VXR?
£12500 will get you one with a few extras & about 6-10K on the clocks

obviosluy u dnt understand wot i mean bout a more pratical car than my b, i have 2 seats and a dash inside that is, no gd for me at the mo lol
and the vxr was a option but i'm not after performance, just found out they do a 1.7 tdi as well which i may look into

My good work friend has one!
I like it - comfortable and pulls nice and clean around the rev range! Pretty nippy aswell! He test drove the fiesta St as this is what he had his heart set on, but he rekons it is slightly quicker on the road!
Think he leases his for £169 a month!
I havent drove it, only been in the passenger seat but i did like it!
I think deep down though he wants a vxr but being young it were a bit pricey. But i would just get it mapped and im sure it would make near enough same power!
