Stu9 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 As of now I've an 05 Corsa c 1.4, it's ok but nothing great as you'll know and want something a bit bigger ie focus Astra ect. This time a last yr I had a 1.6 mk1 focus I then got mk5 Astra 1.7 cdti as I wanted back to diesel, I had a few problems so got rid and now got the Corsa...it's to small Someone said to try a fiesta 1.3/4 tdci or go back to a focus tdci but not sure what engine ie 1.6 ect ect then someone said to try the 05 Corsa 1.3 or 1.7 cdti. The corsa's ok inside (kinda) but I feel every !Removed! bump when driving is the fiesta any better. I know I probably should get a go in one as everyone's different I know this a ford site but if it was it between a fiesta or Corsa with the same diesel engine what would it be.....or go for another focus tdci and be done with it Having said that......the old tddi....any good?

Popular Post Goodkat Posted April 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2015 Drive the Vauxhall into a wall. Make sure it is solid, as you do not want to be held liable for any vauxhall shaped marks on the wall. If there aren't any walls nearby, drop it off a cliff.I haven't a clue how the two compare according to the info you require. But I can give you the following info:The Fiesta isn't !Removed!, the Vauxhall is.You will get 1,000,000 more street cred, as it has the Ford logo on. The Vauxhall logo removes all dignity and instantly turns the owner into a mong. All the cool people drive Fords, see the following on this owners club. The Vauxhall fans suffer erectile dysfunction, herpes and are 100% more likely to wee themselves. Ditching a Vauxhall for a Ford results in better health, will save dolphins, end World Hunger, and after 5 years of being away from Vauxhall Ownership you will be almost as healthy as you were pre-Vauxhall.Happy to help 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRawlins Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Depends on your budget mainly, but the newer fiesta TDCis are exceptional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incontro Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't do enough for a diesel but like the low grunt/torque and cheaper tax Petrol engines have come a long way - you should drive something with an Ecoboost engine in it. Near diesel MPG, sounds much better (at higher revs), and quieter during normal driving. No DPF problems, and low tax too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jace1969 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I had the 09 corsa 1.4 design and only had 25k on the clock,had it 2 years. Petrol gauge kept playing up,read full and was close to empty. Clutch judder when you pull off from cold,this was bad. wiper arms had to be done,when on went off the screen LOL,sealed unit they said.£350 there cost. And petrol m.p.g for a 1.4 was bad,lets say i have a 1.6 fiesta 2011 titanium and i can get the same or very close. I will leave it there as the forum would crash.

I guarantee that your life will improve, women will want to be with you, men will want to be you. Credit where it is due, your Corsa may be getting you from A to B, hell it might even be doing it without complaint. BUT it is plotting against you. One day, when you least expect it, you will be thinking 'Goodkat is a bit of a div, this Vauxhall hate is completely unfounded!' and BAM. Herpes. World Hunger. Dead dolphins. Corsa stabbing your wallet with pure malice aforethought. Here is my advice. If you start peeing yourself without warning, or you can't get the ol' !Removed! up for sexy times, drive that hateful soul-less hell demon and bury it into a wall. I recommend using the ol' brick on the accelerator trick. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT LET IT KNOW YOU ARE ONTO IT. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
