TC-DNB Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Love the gsi's mate, good choice of car. I really didnt expect much from this car but oh my...it sounds like a beast and pulls through evey gear with ease....5th gear feels like 3rd in the 'scort! So pleased with this buy!

TC-DNB Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 love it imo dont put a bodykit on it , leave the exterior standard with subtle mods Thats what i was thinking...tidy up, new wheels, badges etc, then tune the engine. More sleeper style And mutley, i thought id really miss the escort and regret buyin a new car, but seeing them next 2 eachtother on the drive amd after driving the GSi....no regrets at all You gotta love the 'scort though...keep looking at my sig and wishing i never dinged it that night! Looks nice as long as your happy with it DEFINATELY Think i might go for a drive now actaully, nice sunny day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsbar1973 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I had a Corsa 1.4 Sport, and that went like sh1t off a shovel! I was very impressed for such a small engine, and was much nippier than my old Escort which was a 1.6. Mine pulled extremely well in each gear, and stuck to the road like glue. I had a Sebring 6x4 oval exhaust on it which made an awesome sound, even when you just let it tick. It was'nt loud, but distinctive. Even though not alot of people like the Corsa's, I think they're alright I'm not ashamed to say. You got yourself a nice car there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escortjas Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Lower it over some decent alloys and do a bit of smoothing, and i might start to like it.That said the interiour is nice and they are quite nippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
