Did you read the part about insurance  ?
I have a 1l corsa at te moment and i'm 18, i guess it will do me untill i upgrade to a 1.6 sport or get a 1.6 conversion
The car cost me £940 untaxed though.
To be honist the 1l isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Gets you from A to B

not 106GTI and not a corsa yer the wheels will probably slow you down a bit but will go round corners slightly sturdier
