Hi everyone,

My Corsa is apparently built (took one day) and waiting for the delivery which is estimated for the 1st May now.

I'm getting the 1ltr turbo lmtd edition in shiny rock.

Anyone with a 1ltr turbo let me know what the performance is like?

And whats the limited edition model like?

Cheers!

Welcome! I can't speak for the 1.0T as I have the 1.4T LE but the car is amazing. Even on the sport chassis it is still more than comfortable enough for my family. In fact I honestly can't see the point in the comfort chassis as the sports chassis and 17" wheels is still quite soft in my opinion, bear in mind though that I've driven Pickup trucks and Land Rovers most of my life ;-) I live out in the sticks with rough country lanes and not had any issues. I've done 850 miles now in the last two weeks since I got her, including a 250 mile motorway commute and hundreds of miles of touring Yorkshire with the family and I can't fault her. The handling and road holding is fine on just about any road. I have had no problems so far either (touch wood).

My 1.4T does 65-70mpg at 35-40mph in 6th on clear flat road. At 30 it needs to be in 4th or 5th because it gets better mpg and doesn't labour the engine. Sadly there are very few 30mph limits around here. Most roads I drive on are 50-70mph limits so mpg is not as good. The 1.0T should get better than that due to smaller capacity needing less fuel per rpm.

Nice, that's impressive. This will be my second car (currently got a 55 plate Fiesta Zetec 1.4) really looking forward to the upgrade. I was just a bit unsure of moving down to a 1 litre
