2016 Corsa engines/gearboxes
Discussion
Elroy Jnr has just passed his test and having saved hard, has his eye on a Corsa Sri VX-line. It's what he wants, it's his money and they don't look bad little cars.
Insurance for all the petrol engine variants is about the same. So which is the best combination for a mixture of motorway/town driving. I've red the M32 gearbox associated with the 1.4T is made of chocolate. Is that still the case?
Some 1.4 n/a engines are 89bhp and £30/yr tax, some are 99bhp and £110.
The 1.0T looks appealing, but I have an old mans aversion to these small stressed engines.
Any pointers or advice gratefully received.

Nope. It's the lad's money, he's earned it and with insurance in mind, wants a 'sporty' car. You have to remind yourself what you were like when you were just 18.
I tried to point him to something 'sensible', but that's boring apparently
Not at all worried about the PSA takeover. If he's anything like I was, he'll be changing it in a year and losing a ton of money in the process.
