Car facts and figures?

[TomCooper]

The website I normally use is parkers but I was looking through the figures on there for the old corsas and the 1.4 5 dr breeze is said to have a 0-60 time of 10.2 seconds which seems pretty nippy compared to the other 1.4 corsas and it's only insurance group 3. I can't find a 0-60 time for it anywhere else so I don't know whether it's a missprint or it actually is that fast. Here's the link... http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/summary.aspx?m...

What do people think?

I had a camel once that could 0-60 in 12 seconds

There are Corsa's on that list with 44BHP, my washing mashine has more than that

That if your concerned with 0-60 times you should be looking at things other than Corsas

[R1 Loon]

17.4 seconds 0 - 60 times

I've seen faster glaciers.

I have to agree that some of the statistics are pretty awful.

The only reason I'm looking at it is I'm on the hunt for my first car and I've decided to save the money I would spend insuring a decent first car for buying a decent car when I can insure one

Just do the chav thing , buy a 1litre corsa, insure it as that, then drop a stinking 2l 16v in it. Jobs a good un!


Oh, no wait...

Try http://www.carfolio.com/ a site made by a PHer.

Edit: Actually, it might be best not to bother. I just tried it and can't seem to bring the Corsa up. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, it certainly used to have almost every car under the sun!

Lol wont it be more worth while and a better idea to do a what car rather than a corsa? :P

Whats the budget like? Could you stretch to the likes of a Fiat Panda 100?

Or maybe get a R25 1.4? Had one for my second car and I rather enjoyed it. Just a ZR without the tinsels. Cheap to buy and insure and its not a corsa, whats not to like?
