I have a saxo furio 1.4 and have had nothing but trouble with it. so have opted to go for a new car. Corsa SRi

now i pay 1600 fully comp on my saxo

On a corsa 1.8 16v SRi. 1682.

seemed strange to me. but im not complaining. god bless quinn direct.

what happened to the zetec s was. 9500! bit on the expensive size. so i thought id go for the cheaper and quicker option. 1 month till i purchase now. and then

the reason its only an increase of 82 quid is cos theyre old mans cars tbh

i hate corsas with a passion - driven 2 and hated them both

i dont particulary like corsas but i would have a B just because they can look ace and build quality is soo much better than a saxo

however slightly nice tht is. ill stick with the SRi for now. a turbo will be for later on in life. but thanks for the suggestion :D

16th December 2006, 12:23
the reason the corsa is so cheap is because it is a well low insurance group..

i thinks its 9....


will get skinned by a vts though :P

mr bro's first car was a corsa he did it up spent over 7k on it and went to get it p/x for a mazda mx-5 he only got 2k for it his face was a picture me and my dad warned him if you do it up you never get your money back plus its a corsa its like the saxo's everyone thinks they are a boy racer car which i think its just wrong it all depends on who is driving it lol.

Jackman

I dont care about the Corsa's looks or image in the eyes of other members of the public, the only thing i hate Corsa's for is the handling is absolutely shocking and they werent fun to drive.
Im unsure if the very latest Corsa's has improved on this but all models before it were shocking.

Good Luck though with the purchase :y:

Gree with Willsy there, their main issue is bad handling. Its a mini boat
on wheels :p

The old Corsa's are horrible, newer ones are nicer looking but still arent great
performers.
Cant comment on the newer one though. They look pretty :ill: to me thoughl
