Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (2003 - 2006) 1.2 16V SXi 3d (AC) (2004/04) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm a boy racer, I'm young and want to race you.

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

I had a Polo before and most of my friends preferred my polo, although were impressed with the quick acceleration and speed it gains quickly, its like having a turbo boost fitted on it if you change from first to second near maximum rpm.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Not really. its a great first car or third car (for me) but i wanted more luxury, space and refinement.

What are you likely to buy next?

I've already bought it. I bought a BMW 3 series Compact.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,150

When did you buy the car?

February 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a good deal because I haggled with the girl selling. She wanted just under £3000, and i cheekily suggested £2150 and to my surprise and after much 'umm' ing she accepted.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I needed a more economical car for University commutes and cheaper insurance.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Fairly nippy, with 75bhp and a 1.2 engine, I was very impressed with it. Great around town and will confidently charge down the motorway. Clutch is very light and so is the steering. The engine will whine as soon as you hit 70mph, but its only a small engine, so i expected this.

What's it like to park?

Easy, although rear visibility isnt great.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing went wrong with it!

What's most practical about your car?

It's large bulky mirrors and easy to park.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The front sports seats were supportive, and the steering wheel mounted controls were a nice touch.
