I had a 1.4 SRi, the body roll was shocking tbh, I was genuinely in fear of tipping over going round roundabouts at anything other than walking pace.
Nice little car apart from that like.

yeah it does roll around a bit, but nowhere near as bad as all the B's I've driven. I was always frightened of tipping my B but the C is quite composed in comparison

in my opinion, the corsa B doesnt handle as bad as what people say, but then again ive never driver another car flat out, so maybe im used to it, can get abit scary on fast bumpy corners though

I want to race a 1.8 16v SRi in the Polo to see if there is any difference.

My mates one is quite quick, leaves my Zetec S with ease but then it has more power. I'd have one, it's comfy (well it was before he slammed it to fuck), cruise control, comfy and nice seats, nice dash etc

I'll take that challenge. I saw one the other night but traffic was heavy on the runway so couldn't bait him.

If your worried about tipping over you should try driving a vauxhall agila

the older ones I wouldn't want to drive, the new model looks a bit wider, lower it some wide wheels and sorted  ...oh and a bigger engine

Well i've been thinking about 1.8'ing the agila see as it's technically the same as a corsa 1.2?
That with eibach springs and bilstein shocks and 280mm discs and custom exhaust onto a very unpredictable sleeper

i'd do it to a new shape... you can even get irmy grills for them lol. I can't see if being much different to a 1.2 corsa. Isn't the suzuki splash the same thing? they any cheaper than agilas? then again not so long ago my local dealership were doing new agilas for 5k

Edit: Decided this image is better...

From my experience of owning mine since saturday, its so much better than a B, mines only got springs on the rear (pikeys stole the fronts from work before they were fit) so will be getting a new -40mm kit in a month or so i reckon, then remap time.
