Yea, 1.0l 12v's are world renowned for their power. As for 'never break' my mates Corsa, which was bought brand new, is on it's 3rd engine in 15k miles, and they've vowed to never go near a Vauxhall again.

This forum is has some very knowledgeable people on it, that know more about cars than you, or your mechanic, could ever dream of, but I doubt they'll help you with an attitude problem like yours. All this crying over the coolant temp. sensor on a Focus, deary me.
