Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (2006 - 2014) 1.2 Limited Edition 3d (2011/61) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Black alloys, body kit, tinted rear windows.... i think we all know what it says!

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

Everyone i know likes the car and think it looks a lot more expensive than it is, especially with the amount of tech that's in it. However, they are a little shocked when it takes you 13/14 seconds to get from 0-60mph!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Not unless it had a more powerful engine. Good on short distances and would be a great car for first time drivers as the insurance is very cheap on it (approx £650/year).

What are you likely to buy next?

Astra is getting registered now!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£14,000

When did you buy the car?

December 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

0% APR - needed a car ASAP so at the time was the right deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Couldn't fault them.

What's it like to drive?

Town driving = a good smooth drive. Sticks to the road and the sports styled suspension works well around corners. It gets your from A to B.... Motorway driving = Don't do it! You can sit at 80/85mph comfortably (after a good amount of time) but if you have to overtake then make sure you have a lot of time to get your speed up.

What's it like to park?

Easy, don't bother adding parking sensors etc, they really aren't needed if you know what your doing.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Problem with the rear wheel/suspension. Vauxhall replaced the whole rear axle as a precaution under the 5 year warranty.

What's most practical about your car?

It's only a small Corsa but plenty of room in the front for 2.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise Control, "Shift Up" lights, AUX in, Shiny black alloys look really smart against pearlescent black body work.
