Vauxhall Corsa SRi 1.8i 16v

Advantages: Fun, Pratical, Stylish....
Disadvantages: None to be honest!

After someone crashing into the back of my Mitsubishi Galant V6 & writing it off, I was looking for a replacement car. I already own a 52 reg Corsa C SXi 1.2 16v but wanted similar power to the Galant, thats when I saw the 1.8 SRi & fell in love with it instantly. I bought a SRi 2004 1.8 in Ultra Blue for £6995 with 15k on the clock. First looks of the SRi: Looks very sporty but very under rated in my opinion & looks can be deceiving when it ...
...SRi: The SRi is a great car to drive, you can drive as normal getting great mpg (35) & comfort all day long. But when you want the evil, fun side of the SRi............Simply put the foot down and the fun begins. The acceleration is unbelievable of this little car, mines is 7.5s 0-60mph, Top speed is 130+mph Driving at high speeds is also comfortable with the aid of ABS & Traction Control should anything arise. The sporty suspension handles the ... Read review

Advantages: Quick off the lights, not too expenisve to insure.
Disadvantages: Fuel economy

I've had my Vauxhall Corsa SRi 1.8i 16v for almost 3 years now and love it jsut as much as when I first bought it. It's very nippy with a big engine for a relatively small body.

I find the ride comfortable wth enough leg room and head room although my parnter does experience difficulties ...
...space and blocking his vision. I blame him for this for being over 6 feet tall! It's not the easiest of cars to get in the back as it is a 3 door hatchback but once in it is relatively comfortable. If it's space that you are after then this isn't the car for you. The boot space isn't huge, just enough room for a weekly shop but as a second car it's fine. I have to admit to having nearly all of the added extras in my car from sat nav to additonal ...

Advantages: Quick and reliable
Disadvantages: Not the best for MPG

Its a fab little car. The looks and comfort are that of any Corsa, but the drive is 100 times better than the Corsa SXi. It is a lot quicker and nippier, and the handling is immaculate. I love Corsas as they are really great value and come with everything you. It is safe, very reliable, good-looking, stylish, fast and fun! The only one disadvantage is that the MPG is not as good as that of the Corsa 1.2, but for a 1.8 injection, its not bad at all!!! ... Read review
