been to vauxhall today to get some plastic clips for my car and had a browse around while i was there.some of you may know iv been considering getting a astra H sri 1.9 cdti (150 version) and also the 1.8 sri C but the C is gonna be quite expensive to run i think due to how much the tax is going up in the next year or two and it would probably be canny thirsty with me doing very short journeys 90 % of the time.

but iv now decided that the astra is going to be too much of a big car for what i use the car for so was looking at the corsa D today and they are now really starting to grow on me so i was thinking of getting a 1.4 design with half leather and fitting a vxr exterior styling pack and alloys to make it look more sporty and possibly lower it with a sports exhaust aswell.

then this way im gonna have a decent nippy looking sporty hatch thats cheap to run on fuel and tax side of things too.

what do ya think?

wont be a brand new one because you lose too much money when buying brand spanking new 1.

VX said they would give me £1000 for my car with a MOT certificate if i bought a brand new 1 but my B will be scrapped by them i cant be having that,id rather take less than that and let it live a little longer on the roads.
