Spec me a car (another thread :p)

I seriously dont understand peoples dislike for Corsa's...

You could do a lot worse, Fiesta 1.8D

i prefer my fiesta to the corsa i took my test in...was all tacky plastic inside

although corsa's aren't that bad i guess.

So whats worse, the Fiesta 1.8D or Corsa?

The Corsa. The Fiesta was a fundamentally decent small car with a rubbish engine. The Corsa was just apalling in almost every way - I liked a few things about it, though.

Ive driven a newish corsa, when i was learning with BSM (ashamedly). It was the 1.2 twinport i believe and i never thought it was THAT bad until i got into my next instructors car which was a fiesta (new one) and thought... WOW that corsa sure sucks.

From everyones opinion (on the forum and elsewhere) corsa's are generally just a bad car.

Do tell..

I actually liked the 54 plate Corsa I drove when my 19 got smashed

Ok the engine was useless but the rest of it was actually nice, and being an SXi it looked quite smart too.

It's on the list of cars to replace the other halfs micra next year (has to be a 1.4 though).

The 1.3 is quite powerful for its size

So is an ant, but it is still tiny....

So whats worse, the Fiesta 1.8D or Corsa?

The Corsa. They don't handle well, they don't redeem this by having any engine powerful enough to make up for the chassis problems, they aren't pretty, they aren't comfortable, they aren't even nice to look at inside, they aren't built well and they aren't cheaper than their competition.

You want me to go on, or shall I keep listing their deficiencies?

Yes if you want...



78/80bhp depending on where you read, isn't bad for the 1.2 Twinport tbh. Could be worse. The 1.4 Twinport seems a tad lame at only 90bhp and 1364cc.
