I have gotta say I think a VTR is a nicer looking car in standard than a corsa sport.

Ive got about £3k ish maybe abit more, i know i could afford a Vtr with that but the insurance is Gp7 not 4 sdo quite abit difference!
Basically yeah i aint gettin a Vtr! I want a motor that looks crisp with little mileage and insurance friendly!
I cant do it up 4 ages anyway so i aint to bothered about kitting it up the west coast is a Vtr kit anyway aint it?

It's only just slower then the 1.4 Sport as my mates had both and regulary raced each other.
There not bad mate, for a cheap insurance friendly car go for it.
Yea but a 1.4 16V corsa is slow

might be worth looking for a modified motor for sale on here...I know there are loads of 1.2's etc with full bodykits etc going for around the 3k mark...have u looked at that? think theres a few 1.0's as well

I doubt that chris.
As for quality, id say saxo again. its got better braking and handling.
Sorry corsa's are shit standard. I just cannt believe how ignorant people can be about it.

I agree with super_si
I really think Vauxhall have been really stingy with the kit on the corsa sports...they look like the basic Corsa other than a few suttle changes...They could of done a lot more with regards to styling etc.
Look at the Fiesta Zetec S for example: it comes with 16 spoke (think) alloys as standard...mesh grill...fog lamps...sideskirts...etc etc
Basically vauxhall could have made the car look a bit sportier than they have.

saxos as standard are better handlers than corsas.
if u can push for a vtr then u get rear discs aswell

That goes without saying sxi boy...to obtain decent handling on the corsa you need to have an aftermarket suspension set up fitted. The handling on the corsa is somewhat like lumpy porridge as standard

Definately get a Westcoast then mate...
VTR's look nice unmodded, corsa's look shit unmodded (in my opinon e.g. not even lowered, no alloys etc) ...
