1999 Vauxhall Corsa Sport 1.4 16v - 90bhp from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Insurance friendly GSi alternative
Faults:
Apart from a very annoying buzzing sound, coming from just above the dashboard, nothing - touch wood!
General Comments:
Impressive 90bhp engine, gives 60 in 10.5secs and a top speed of 112mph (these are manufacturers figures, more like 120mph).
My car is totally standard. Handling is not brilliant, body roll on corners and snaking on high speed braking.
Looks are clean and sporty, however it's is a bit cutesy.
No sideskirts, no fogs and three spoke alloys. Not the best looking car on the road!
However equipment levels are very generous - air con, alarm, electric heated mirrors, CD player electric windows, all as standard.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Quite poor handling.
General build quality is good.
Engine is good.
Poor styling for model - no side skirts, fogs lights and wheels look bad.
Good comfort for the class. Excellent extras - air con, electric/heated mirrors, electic windows, CD player etc
