2004 Vauxhall Corsa SRi from UK and Ireland - Comments

None... yet!!

Only got 100 miles and still running it in, but still seems to go really well.

Seems really well put together with no rattles or creaks.

Had optional CDC40 digital radio and sounds great. Bit fiddly to use at first, but great once you got hang of it.

I'm just wondering whether to go for the Corsa 1.4 SRi or the 1.8 SRi, as the price difference isn't all that much? However, I am mindful that the 1.4 does about 10 more miles to the gallon around town (or about £1500 saving a year), but only has 90bhp versus 125bhp. Can anyone comment about how both drive - did anyone get the chance to compare? From past experience, I feel that the 1.4 might be nippy enough as a daily driver because Vauxhall engines always seem quite pokey for their size (versus, say, Ford). BTW, I intend to have a second, much more powerful sports car for use at the weekends. All advice appreciated. Cheers.

I had an Focus ST170 before and that little 1.8 will murder it for 0-60 already and that is still running it in!!!

I've had 2 previous Corsa's, 1.4 and 1.6 Sports. There was not much difference in performance between those two engines, but this 1.8 is quite a big step up.

Go on matey... Go 1.8!!!

I've got the 1.4 sri and its actually quite fast, it easily keeps up with saxo vtr's and the like, also I think the looks are really subtle and add to the appeal. my car has a fantastic ride and handling many other cannot match.

Hi I'm just about to get a 93 SRi. Looks good hope it drives as well. I just need something to get me around and I fell in love with as soon as I saw it, used to have a Pug, any comments appreciated.

I've just taken a delivery of a 2004 1.4 sri and I have to say it is absolutly amazing! I've had 3 fiesta's in the past, the latest being a 1.3 LX with all the mod cons. I picked up my SRI last week and I love it. Its in Pearlescent Black which looks absoultly stunning. The car is really quick and you can be up to 50-60mph in no time. I have the 5 door version and my mate has the 3 door version and there is less space in mine (5-door) for the back passengers which is a bit strange, but then again I'm always in the front so who cares.

I would definatly recomend this car to anyone as it looks good and is very practicle.

Hi just picked up a 54 plate 1.4 SRI for my wife, in the past we have had some pretty fast cars, and personally I think the 1.4 is a good choice in this day and age.

The performance aint shattering, but good enough for the pair of us to have some fun on the back roads.

I'm getting a 6month old 1.8 corsa SRI and I'm so excited!!! I can't wait, I currently have a 96 corsa 1.merit, can't wait to feel the change!

I have a 05 plate 1.4 SRi in black with Climate control, rain sensor, and airbags. Its the best car I have ever had - its smooth, comfortable and quick for a 1.4. I'm so impressed. Whoever is thinking of getting one - Get one!!!

I've had my sri 1.4 for 6 months now and I still love it!

I had a pug gti 1.6 before this and my sri feels quicker!!

I recommend this car to everyone!

The looks are great and there are many corsa after market parts to add on!

I did think of getting the 1.8 sri, but have herd that its not that great for the size of engine!!

I'm very happy with my 1.4 and is cheaper to run!!

Ive just recently bought a 2001 1.8sri. This is a great car, I previously had a 2.0 calibra, so was already used to the speed, but with it being such a small car as well it feels more like driving a go kart. I use it travelling to and from work daily, this has become a pleasure with the added feature of cruise control. These cars are great I would seriously recommend buying one.

Iv just bought a 53 plate black 3dr corsa 1.8 sri and god it is quick. It beats all these cars for 0-60, vtr, vts, zetec s, 106 gti. I timed 0-60 in 7.8 seconds. Its light and so fun to drive. It is also very eye catching and sounds great! Petrol aint that bad either. I put in an extra £7 a week from what I used to drive. I used to have a corsa 1.2 merit.

The 1.8 sri is a must buy and they are rare!

I have had my 1.8 sri in star silver for about 6 months now I bought it when it was nearly six months old and I can safely say that it is very reliable and it is a very nice quick car it is ashame that vauxhall have discontinued the sri it took me a long time to find a 1.8 as they are quite rare to find second hand you can easily find 1.4 ten to the penny, but not 1.8s they are much nicer than ford fiestas iwould deffinately reccomend one to any one WELL DONE VAUXHALL FOR SUCH A GREAT GREAT LITTLE POCKET ROCKET!

The 1.8 SRi is not a hot hatch it's a warm hatch at most, As for 0-60 in under 8 seconds, not likely, VTS is better value for money sharper, better handling and quicker, but corsa SRi is a good introduction, could have done with being a bit more powerful, but you can't have it all.

Yeah, but lets face it the Saxo VTS is ugly and is definently a Chav choice of car. You say the SRI is a "warm hatch" yet it has more BHP than the VTS.

I got the 1.8 SRI model and its great. It stands out well from all the Saxo cars out there, and lets face everyone knows someone who owns a VTR/VTS, don't they.

Hi, I have a Corsa C SRI 1.8, and take my word for it this car is great. Its 0-60mph time of 8 seconds seems crazy and you can keep up to bigger engine sizes because of the lightwait body of the car. If you are thinking of getting a SRI get the 1.8 rather than the 1.4 as I have driven both and there is a massive difference in performance, plus you only live once you might aswell get a car that will scare you.
