Went and drove a Corsa VXR 08 Plate yesterday to see what they were like. Heard mixed reviews on them. I can honestly say I'm glad I bought my 197. Was not impressed at all with the Corsa. Took it up a M road and was expecting it to have a nice amount of torque being that it is turbo but it didn't feel very fast at all. Even in 3rd with over boost it just didn't seem to pull very way. Then onto the B roads. The car feels like a boat. It's too high, the steering doesn't feel connected to the car and it just was no where near the level of the 197.
The 197 feels like a performance car the Corsa just feels standard.
