Mum's gonna be getting a second hand corsa in september and to be honest i don't take much notice of basic cars 
Will have to come from a garage..have 5 doors..She will have about £4500 to 5K to spend so i just need to know what's the best model she can go for??? Oh and it can't be more than the 1.2 for petrol etc reasons.
Y plate SXI?? 52 plate LS?? Basically just need the best she can get for the cash 
Cheers

Look for a 1.2 Design or something, they are the better spec ones, so come with aircon, all the electrics etc. Should be able to pick one up for around that. If you just wanted newest you could pick up a nearly new Life model for around £5k

Yeah design is the top spec so has all the goodies, SXI's dont always have aircon and have alloys so if she cant park then may be a problem

yeah that was just the first one so there will be loads more. Its pretty straight forward, just need to drill holes in the rear bumper and measure them all out well. Can get kits for around £50 I think then just wire it up to the reverse switch.

yeh go for deisgn, better spec, but less sporty than sxi,so u wont get the alloys, sports seats or silver interior trim but u will get a/c and cheaper than sxi models
