With 225bhp straight out the tin.... Power to weight, thats gonna be pretty nippy!!!

Nice power, but it looks aweful IMO

 

weight = 1223kg its as heavy as a saff!

 

 

Sadly thats true of all these modern small cars.

Airbags and impact bars everywhere = not good.

 

yeah all that safety nonsense who needs it

 

HATED these at first but they've really grown on me, prefer them to the astras now.

Someone say company car?

 

NOT the environment thats for sure, imagine how much better their CO2 emissions would be with 300kg less weight!

 

cant be a bad drive though.....the rental corsa i had in ireland, albeit a bit slow was a hoot to drive and very chuckable, and fitted 4 people quite happily

 

Fook really!?

Same weight as my cabbie then

 

i actually quite like it

impressive 0-60 time for a fwd car to if its correct

at least vauxhall are trying !!

 

It's an acquired taste, but it's the most impressive 'supermini' i've seen for years!! good effort!

 

Looks really nice IMO and with the new tax coming in this looks like the new hot hatch to have even if the vxr petrol's do handle like dog turd

what are the rest of the specs - 225bhp but how much torque? 330nm

yes please!

 

I bet it's just as crap in the corners as the Vectra VXR and Astra VXR though.

The Astra "only" had 240 and that didn't understand corners at all, nevermind the vectra where the steering wheel was there for your amusement and had next to no functionality
