Today, silver one.
May I suggest to anyone with 16k burning a hole in their pocket to go and BUY ONE THIS SECOND.
Jesus H Christ, if you want a car that is the entire package in regards to handling, looks, power blah blah blah this car is it.
The car had done 43 miles and I was allowed to give it death, it responds to everything you ask it to and it sounds just amazing. The seats well, Steve you are going to have to eat your words because they are amazing, better than our ones in the Astra.
In comparison to the Astra now, I came off a roundabout in second and floored it and it went out of the corner with no tram lineing no fighting with the car and it goes like a bullet I would say from 0-80 there would be no difference with a Astra VXR, mid range compared to the Astra it has nothing at all, but this car out of corners through the gears to the redline is simply sublime I cannot believe this car is actually a Vauxhall for it is simply amazing.
The one I drove is actually for sale and you can buy it today and pick it up Monday, its up for 16.5k and it is silver with 18's.
If they hadn't offered us such a crap P/X for the Astra and it being the wrong colour (not Arden Blue) I would have had it there and then. Rachel drove it as well and was grinning as well.
So if you don't want to have to wait 4 months for a Corsa VXR I suggest you get down Inchape Vauxhall Reading and buy this car, I was tempted to do it just so that Ian would pay my entrance fee to PVS 
Well thats it from me, a fully impressed Ojc.

modern cars don't need running in Robin. They're actually built to the right tolerances these days

cars tend to run themselves in these days, as they put on more miles, they loosen up and fuel consumption improves, we reckon VW pre-program the ECU to let the engine stay within certain constraints for the first few thousand miles

They have a good chassis to start on. Then with a sport handling pack on it I would only expect it to be even better

16k - corsa :/
ooooof... How many are they releasing in the UK each year? Are they going to keep them in demand or just sell as much as they can and make them cheap as chips in a few years?

better 'package' i'd think..
i.e. the car was designed and built to take the engine/power... whereas a corsa B has to be modified by us to handle a 2.0

I've been wanting to test drive one for a while but I dunno what Vauxhall's policy is on how long you gotta have you license for.

They will only let you drive one if they thing you're going to buy it. If you're 17/18, they won't do it unless you have the money in a briefcase with you.
