Corsa or Mini

[link_heroz]

My girlfriend wants to know, which is better Corsa or an Original Mini. As her first car.

[TomT]

Mini.

Any pics of her ? so we know which car would suit her.

either will be sick with some undercar neons and racing car tow stickers.

[Prickle]

Which Corsa...?

[xscottxx]

My mate had an original Mini as his first car. All of us loved our first cars but you can just tell no one loved theirs quite as much as him.

Awesome to drive, they can't physically go too fast and they handle like a go kart. Plus the cool factor, of course.

My other mate had a Corsa C as his second car and it was pretty much a money pit, piece of crap car. Oh and on the way to MK on the M1 his sisters Seicento (sp?) was pulling away.

My mates got a corsa c, it's had 3 engines and is a bag of shite

I knew everyone would say mini, she still insisted i asked.

[xscottxx]

That's women for you, hate admitting you're right.

Mini for the fun factor.

They're not that safe in a crash mind.

I'd pass on any corsa up to the new shape Vxr tbh.

^This.

[Heftydanielson]

Get the mini, then she'll need to lean how to fix/maintain it. win win.

minis are definitely much more fun
can be unsafe in a crash but my cousin crashed hers into another car with me as passenger, both cars were written off but the only injurys we got were broken toes and whiplash.
corsas are just rank, horrible to look at and horrible to drive

Mini by a mile. I really really want one but I don't think I can be arsed with the rot. I can go for up to six weeks at a time without a day spare and with a car that's going rotten it's probably not good :/

[Gandi699]

The mini will probably sell for the money you paid for it, or even more too. The only corsa worth owning is one with an engine conversion or the vxr

[MiniGibbo]

Corsa. Yes there rubbish and chav but its a newer car thatll be carrying a lot less rust, be more reliable and be nicer to drive in the way of comforts..

I reckon what it is in realitly is she wants a corsa and you want her to buy a mini as it was the car you really wanted a 17.

[Carl-h]

I drove a mini briefly a few months back. Brilliant fun but would get tiring on a run.

I love that on saxp when a saxo breaks it's just been poorly maintained, yet when a corsa breaks it's because it's shit.

Irony.

I bet if you go on a corsa website it'd be the opposite lol.

[MiniGibbo]

Doubt it, you get less simple minded chavs on other forums..

[Lacey_106]

get a saxo y0!

[blackie_2k5]

This is a silly thread, who'd want a corsa over a classic mini?

I'd pass up a lot of nice cars for a clean classic mini

[Paul]

bmw imo.

I'd pass up a lot of nice cars for a clean classic mini

As a first car with a budget of £2500ish?

[Jazz]

old corsas are cheap as chips to insure.

Mini for the lols and the potential classic status, but if she does crash it you will be single again, thats how tinny they are.

[danny-vts]

Mini :)

[Jamie]

It would have to be a mint cool old school mini like with a union jack on the roof in red or something.

If it's a shitter fuck that for a laugh! Only Corsa I like is the VXR obviously, but I'm not one for base models!

[manta]

Minis are nice but just not good for modern motoring.

She's a girl so just get her a corsa, I doubt she's going to come up to you and complain about the lack of feeling through the steering or any other shit I would moan about in a car.

[Lukus-vtr]

My mini was my first car, and it was my daily for a year, but it does get uncomfortable to drive, and was very cold in the winter, and began to rot bcause of that horrible winter the other year, but I wouldn't of changed a thing, you get a huge grin factor from these little cars, and people wave at you as you drive by.I think every person should atleast drive a mini at one point in their life :) I'd recommend it over the corsa any day.

[josh11490]

I would love a mini, think i would probably consider one over my VTR, theres something cool as fuck about them haha

[Lacey_106]

Any pics of the gf yet?

[Carbonimage]

Mini every day.
But it depends what she wants, the corsa will be more reliable, no doubt. And warmer.
Just ask her, does she want to look cool? :P

I doubt it, she wants a saxo :p

[m3wood]

how can most of us say the crash rating is bad on a mini .? have you seen what a saxos is like ? lol ..... minis are cool however have to watch out for rust :(

[Simon0014]

How can you even be comparing the two?! Like saying I may buy this Armani top or this primarni top Primarni is primark for the simple ones

Mini of course corsa's are shite in comparison

no biased in any way shape or form are we? :homme:

I would also say a clean mini, if its a shitter, then anything other than that.

[Piggie]

Mini was my first car loved it soooo much

Mate got VTR for his first car and used to blagg me to swap with him all the time.

Amazing cars i miss mine loads!

[jimmyboy]

Depends what you both want in a car! If safety is a big factor, the corsa, if fun is a big factor, the mini.

[Lacey_106]

If she's going to be doing a lot of driving, any long distances etc, don't get the mini. I'd be worried about her crashing in it.

I still wouldn't have a corsa though. Get something else?

Any suggestions? Got to be fairly cheap on insurance though.

[steelo-VTS]
