Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I am an idiot who bought a car that didn't even get properly driven by me (It did have an optional Vauxhall fitted spoiler though which I havn't seen on another Corsa, so made it look rather unique)
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They thought it was ok for a first car, though now it has to be scrapped they probably think what I am thinking, that it is rubbish
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, I certainly wouldn't
What are you likely to buy next?
Something for the right price that isn't a Corsa, a Fiesta would do nicely
-
Buying experience

Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No

£350
When did you buy the car?
February 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
No, I didn't even get to drive it properly and it has to be scrapped already
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
It was cheap and seemed like a good buy as a first car
What was the dealer like?
They were fine, the garage is just across the road from me
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It was ok on the brief test drive I did in it, though the gearbox was terrible
What's it like to park?
Not that bad, though never properly parked it. Biting point on the clutch was a lot higher than the Micra I'm use to driving
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
It failed it's mot, the underneath of the car has badly rotted away & is beyond repair, had to buy new wiper arms the other day too. The bar to move the driver's seat fell off & the sunroof leaked
What's most practical about your car?
No, nothing about it is practical
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Bit sad having a favourite gadget really, but no it has nothing
