Summary
What does this car say about you?
That my employer doesn't vaule me enought. That I should have got a Fiesta or Clio.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
That its unreliable, because for a new car its allways back with Vauxhall. Mind you my teenage cousin likes it!
Would you buy this car again and why?
No never. Its too unrelable and the interior quality is shocking. The plastics are cheap and hard. The glove box lip has gaps I can post things though and this week the interior light wont turn on!

Anything!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
woeful! Its far to loud at any speed and deafening on the motorway, more sound proofing Vauxhall!! It corners like its got wheels made of jelly, the body roll is shocking and I do not drive it like I stole it. I'm 6 foot and the seat dosen't adjust fully so I always feel too high. On the up side though the engine is nippy enough around town and okay on the motorway.
What's it like to park?
Easy its a Corsa not a Rolls Royce.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes! On the first trip the radiator hose came lose and sprayed steam and water everywhere risking masive engine damage. Just latley the ingnition broke, the engine was still running without the key and I'd to stall it to stop the engine, so off it went to Vauxhall again...
What's most practical about your car?
Mmmm its got 5 door and is quite roomy for a car of this size.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
none really, its only a corsa.
