Did my post get pulled off? sure i posted it properly
Well i was the only Mod on and i havn't edited or del a post in about 4 months since there has never been need to ever do it. You probably types the post out, pressed continue in the reply screen and then clicked off. Make sure you click "continue" and then "OK" at the top when the screen refreshes. Will be interesting to hear your views if you could type it again? *sorry im a cheeky monkey*
I thought I might of done that, I'm used to forum on the vauxhall sports car club site which aint this clever!
Anyways.... the corsa....
good points first: it goes like you would not believe 0-62 in 8.0sec flat so almost identical to the ST and the top end is pretty similar. It has big buckets of torque steer which is pretty funny but not always ideal, it'll be good to see what the boys at ford have done seeing as the ST has loads more torque and runs on bigger wheels. Insurance is group 9, so it's a shame the ST is 13 when the performance is almost identical. Equipment in the SRi is great, cruise control, cat 1 alarm, recaro manufactured seats (their not branded as recaro's tho ) climate control, auto-dip mirror, auto windscreen wipers, auto interior night lighting....the list goes on. It looks great, especially when u put some goodies on it, i got tinted windows, front spoiler and irmscher sports exhaust system.
Bad points....fairly minor engine management problem which took 3 different dealers a very long time to fix (all it needed was a software update), brakes are very iffy possibly air in system due to over enthusiastic driving, minor damage to the interior, the alarm goes off randomly when gettin out the car and the gearbox needs to be replaced due to a manufacturing fault. Four attempts have already been made to fix it, including replacing the clutch So enough is enough, I'm now at the stage where I've issued the finance company with a county court claim to get my money back, should hear back in the next couple days, if all goes well the money i get back will be a deposit on the ST.
Sorry for the epic post, rant over
