Thought this was quite interesting, it's a review from when all 3 first came out. I still think the Zetec S is the best looking, shame must are rusting away though. And I have to agree on the Corsa's handling, loads of body roll as standard.

They were both extras, I think on the pre-facelift it looked different but the sat nav was like this on the facelift:

Did the saxo come with those tacky 16v badges on the side as standard? Always thought that was badges bought from halfords and stuck on by the owner

I used to think the same about the badges The pre-facelift Corsa really does look tremendously dated, especially next to the other two. Tbh I would quite like to jump in a Zetec S and throw it round Castle Combe or something, but that will have to remain a dream for now

Definitely agree about the body roll with the standard Corsa suspension though. Really quite bad for what is supposed to be the sporty model. Irmscher springs sort it right out though

Corsa was the 1.8 sri with 125bhp, so more then fair for the corsa and it still came out bottom.

ive had all 3 so ill give it a watch later. imo all 3 have their pros and cons over the others. the most fun for me was the saxo, best looking and most comfortable the corsa (mines a facelift though)
i felt the saxo handled best but the corsa had more grip

I think if you loaded all 3 with all the optional extras, the Corsa would be far better for equipment. It would have full heated leathers, climate control, sat nav, 17" alloys, Irmscher kit, cruise control, automatic wipers and lights, etc. Even for today's standard there was a lot.

Out of the 3 id go for the zetec s, handling on them is epic tbh, can chuck about and a lot more predictable than vts.
