ScORTED Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 depends what you mean by better, you have to compare like for like paul and on paper its no faster than a 1.6 escort... i've driven several of those 1.2 corsas they are nippy little town cars that feel very cheap - but thats exactly what they're supposed to be cheap city cars... a 1.6 escort would have similar acceleration... and similar top end, the thing your differetiating on is the fact its a newer car of a more modern design... if you now drive a focus for the same money you'd probably see it to be a better car.

butchus Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 (edited) im not slggin escorts off they are good but quite unreliable and doesnt handle aswell and i disagree the 1.6 zetec are dog slow as standard and i wouldnt say that they feel cheap they are well made the escort i had had nuffin and was so uncomfortable Edited June 24, 2007 by butchus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 the corsa sxi has uprated suspension over the life / design etc? try driving a RS/GTi the suspension is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butchus Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 i have done and it just doesnt compare and when the gmax is on it will be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort_Kid Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 To be fair, i think these are great little cars. My sister has one and it is very nippy and does handle very well. Compared to a 1.6 escort i would say the corsa is better, seeing as i have had first hand experience with both because my mum use to have a 1.6 escort, the corsa feels quicker on excelleration and does feel like it handles better. Overrall i would say there great little cars even if it is a vauxhall To be fair, i think these are great little cars. My sister has one and it is very nippy and does handle very well.

ScORTED Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 fair doo's your all entitled to an opinion. not really the best place to get a positive view on a corsa though. to be totally honest that particular corsa looks a lot better than your escort was. but your escort was a £400's worth one and i'm guessing your now chuckied up to the tune of about £4000 as i said no real comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort_Kid Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 True like you say ScORTED it is abit unfair to compare the two considering the escort was probably about £500 and these corsa's cost about £5000 like my sisters did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
