Just sick of the corsa (12v) tis dog slow and a feeble effort at a car.
So looks out of the window obv if i get a volvo but at the end of the day they'll be a lot more powerful and a far nicer more reliable drive than my corsa :@
Mind you the escorts arn't the most reliable car

What kind of golf Gti am i going to get for under a grand 
Pug diesel- dont know much about them other than a mate at college has one and the whole car is held with tape.... holes in wings..... basically french and old so falling to bits
Corsa- Really dont fancy a corsa and can't see how a corsa is better in any aspects

Get a corsa sport or a MK3 Golf Gti 8v...........both you will be able to pick up for a grand & is a lot better than a Vulva or Escort.

Seconded.
Sorry but... Volvo 440? How old are you? 
Hate those Escort's too, ugly and uninspiring IMO.
I'd rather have a Pug diesel / Golf GTi that's falling to bits... at least they have a bit of style and street cred

I can't get insured on a golf Gti.... obv this is a miles nicer car as would any other car be
But i am only 18 and for the price and insurance group beleive it or not the volvo is probably my quickest option and won't drain my money with any luck
Escort would be nicest- and i much prefer them over a 1.2 corsa 
Shit to street cred i want a reliable, solid car that i couldn't give two shiny shites about people scratching and it getting nicked
Plus i'd make up for the worst credable car ever with my good looks and charisma

Insurance groups seem high on them though for what they are :S
And the one i seem to see have never been looked after and the people who buy them can't afford a decent BMW so can't afford to run their shit one
