I've done that in a Smart car . But I get your point. Vauxhalls are usually crap and very slow for what they are my Punto sporting (1.4 16v) runs rings round the corsa SRI 1.8.
That's crap engine is the 1.8 only has 120bhp i think?
the 1.4 sporting is quick for a 1.4 aswell and they look so much better!
