Looks great, 192BHP the the wheels... But Im wondering if it'll be disasterous to drive like the Astra with 240BHP to the front wheels was.

Will it really sell well here ?? - Probably not IMO.

Not bad looking, perhaps a little more mad looking than the VXR, which I think looks fab. I was in the Astra VXR, and seriously fast, but also has serious thirst to go. 0-62 in 7.2 secs doesnt seem particular fast for such power, and low weight? Tires are probably going bananas off the line. I wonder how much it will cost.

I think my mother should have gotten this instead of her 1.2

I like this, they haven't messed up like the golf. This is actually a 1.6 that has some teeth.

Design wise, personally I think the front of the cars exterior looks a bit of a mammy wagon, but I liek the back. For some reason it reminds me of a 206.

According to the Times, I don't think they are planning on selling it here.

Looks the nuts though.

Are you just referring to the old 102bhp 1.6 or the whole Golf range in general. I think it's widely acknowledged that the MkV Golf has been a vast improvement over the MkIV.

There was a article in autocar (or a different mag) about how its borrowed somany design queue's to make it look sporty, grills from the mini, wheels from a focus (i think) to name a few.

Still thinks it looks nice

Cannot image too many people in Ireland paying around €25k or €26k for a Corsa though.

I think 210/220hp is the point that FWD cars start to have issues so 192 should be alright.
