What are you referring to though? The car or the engine?

The cars are fine really - I had an XE Sport for a few years....

The Sxi is actually well specced and is basically a Sport with a baby engine.....

What i was going to say will, Corsa B's are fine as long as there post 97, SXi is one of the better specced one if it has elec windows (some dont) aircon is also a good thing.

Engine wise, not fast but what do you expect, Same problems as the 12v, AFM, EGR, few other things, nowt massive though.

A Corsa B is 1100kg? Fcuk! My Volvo 'tank' is 1050! lol

I nearly stuck up for the cars in this thread, but I wrongly assumed it said Corsa C SXi. my sister had one a while back (Got a D now) and I thought it was an awesome little runaround.

I had a wee silver 1999 one a few months back as a runabout, just lowered it 60mm, sport wheels, wind deflectors and a badgeless grille.

I was quite impressed, I thought it was a very nice place to be inside with the half buckets, p/s, air con etc. Not exciting with power but easy run

There not 1100kg, there about 830-950kg depending on the spec/engine.

1100 might be fully loaded.

LOL.

I'm sure they are fine little cars, coming up from a Nova it can't be any worse!

Corsa B's are good motors with a decent engine (1.6 and above)

THey do rust quite badly though, but i think a SXI is one the late models, so fingers crossed in better condition.
