Number Juan has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 Turbo Diesel...Strangely Wow!

my driving instructor trusts me...in fact he trusts me so much he offered me a couple of hours breaking in his new car along the very fast, very nice roads of mid-kent in a vauxhall corsa 1.3TDi. i initially thought it was going to be another Daewoo Kalos, but i was VERY surprised by the performance of this diesel engine! i managed to go from 0-60 in around 10ish seconds changing at 5000rpm, this thing takes off!

is anyone else surprised by this ind of performance?! i thought diesels were slow and pokey, i thought corsas were la-la cars with about as much oompf and driveability as an old skoda with a cold, but i managed to out-pace anything on these kent roads with ease!
