Galliano Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 What insurance group is a Glanza V? not posotiveBHP as standard? not absolutely sure - 125bph?Am I right in thinking they are 1.3 Turbo? IndeedyI'm pretty tall (6'3) would I be ok to fit in one? (I used to have a Corsa B Sri that was fine to drive if you can compare with that?) You'l fit fine. I'm 5'11 and fit fairly nicely with plenty of head/leg room MPG? not sure0-60 time? not sure1/4 mile time? not sureHow easy is it to get more power? buy the right parts, set yourself a budget, can get 200bhp relatively easilyWhat's the handling like? not sure standard, but you can pick up coilovers or just springs to lower and improve handling. The anti sway bars, strut braces etc all help too. Theres a wide range available.Hope that helped you buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy.i Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 * What insurance group is a Glanza V? not sure, but pricy/very hard to insure at a young age * BHP as standard? 133 i think * Am I right in thinking they are 1.3 Turbo? yep * I'm pretty tall (6'3) would I be ok to fit in one? (I used to have a Corsa B Sri that was fine to drive if you can compare with that?) * MPG? depends, 30-40 with an easy right foot * 0-60 time? depends on mods, bout 7secs i think standard? * 1/4 mile time? * How easy is it to get more power? easy just pricy * What's the handling like? go kart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 * What insurance group is a Glanza V? whichever the insurers want, there is no set group for imports * BHP as standard? 133 at the fly when they were made, decreases with age * Am I right in thinking they are 1.3 Turbo? indeed * I'm pretty tall (6'3) would I be ok to fit in one? should be fine * MPG? normally 200-300 miles per tank at £35ish * 0-60 time? 8.2secs according to book, but believed to be nearer 6.9 * 1/4 mile time? bout 15secs standard * How easy is it to get more power? not too tough 200 is achievable on standard internals too, but not cheap * What's the handling like? not great, thats where most money should go tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dominodon Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I know a stock ct9 gives good milage about 35-40 we was geting 40 miles on 5 pounds on a stock glanza, All down to the drive and if you warm up the car and cool down we allways do 3 mins warm up and 1 min cool down,Then on long drive put the turbo timer on autoJust to give you a idea on are TD04 hybird we get about 280 out of £35 pounds.
