Standard for Standard

Corsa - No comparison at all. Corsa is poop.

As for 106/Szxo do you mean the GTI/VTS??

i had a 206 Gti at the start of the year for a few months , handling was actually really good , little under steer at times but quite nice to throw about , was lowered 60mm . But imo it was just a bit too heavy for my liking , much prefer'd my 2 x 106 Gti's handleing compared to the 206 . And the corsa's i have had have handled not too bad but no where near the above too

my prefered handleing would be

106
206
Corsa

But then again it all depends on how much you are willing to spend on the suspention for each and anyone of them to handle at there best . But in std form i would go personally with the order above

i had an 05 plate 206 gti for a year and a half, and i went back to a corsa.

i didnt feel in control of the 206 as much as i do the corsa.

its all about trust, and i didnt trust the 206.

lots of people say that, as much as the frenchies handle well in the right hands in the hands of amatuers they never feel as stable at speed and with some choice suspension modifications the wee corsa only improves

Yeah, my VTS handled to a point youd feel the back end skip when reaaaly pushed, but it never felt dangerous..

I dont know how many people said fuuuck you lost the back end then and I was like did I?
