Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (1993 - 2000) 1.0 12V Envoy 3d (1999/V) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I got another Corsa

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone loves my new Corsa. Looks, drive, colour, everything. And no-one can mock me know because I have a 5 speed gearbox now.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would, but it would have to be a 1.4 16v Sport when I'm older. Which is going to be a few years.

What are you likely to buy next?

Got a few years to decide on that.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£830

When did you buy the car?

March 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yeah it was good. It's done more millage 83,300 roughly. Unlike the old Corsa which only done 69,000. But it's in fairly good nick and it drives very well.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a newer car to replace my 93'Corsa. So I got a 99' Corsa and it's colour is Arden Blue which is my favorite out of the colour range.

What was the dealer like?

Nice Guy, Simple, Honest which is good.

What's it like to drive?

It's lovely to drive, the suspension has improved over the old one and that little 3 Cylinder engine is a little cracker. It's got 10 more bhp than the old one and it is very economical. And the best thing is that I now have a 5 Speed Gearbox.

What's it like to park?

Still haven't got PAS but i'm not going to have alloys on this car so it should be a tad lighter on the steering than before.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Well I've had it for nearly 2 months now. Nothing has gone wrong yet.

What's most practical about your car?

Just like my old Corsa, it's very roomy and it's another 3 door model.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Still no gadgets. But I have got a complementary Glovebox, Clock Disply, Rear Wiper and Delay wipers and a 5 Speed Gearbox with this car. Unlike the old one.
