No-one buys white cars at the moment, it's still not back 'in' publically.

Im not sure if I'd go for Arden blue either

Silver looks nice, red looks very very very red (but also good)

Can't they make one up in white??

The Aylesbury vauxhall garage phoned me up a couple of weeks ago and invited me to test drive one. But after what happened to my car last year when they damaged it and stuff I told them to pass my details onto the vauxhall garage I deal with now. So they invited me for a test drive also and obviously I went. Had the car out for nearly an hour lol. I'd say pretty much the same as you Rachel H that its fantastic to drive compared to the vxr astra which I have driven before also. But I'm not a fan of the vxr astra looks and suprisingly thought the corsa looked better (in the flesh it does because I wasn't amazingly impressed by the pictures I've seen to be honest). I still however do think the exhaust looks like a weird triangular tail, but I'm sure that's just me! Oh and didn't like the choice in colours: red, silver, black or arden blue. I told this to the salesman and mentioned that I liked the look of the blue that they do the vx8 monaro in? Its a nice darker blue. And he said he may be able to pull a few strings and see if they'd do a one off for me-not sure if he was winding me up or trying to get a sale, but I'm sure he knew I had absolutely no intention of buying one and clearly just went to test drive one

Changed my mind on these. Thought they were alright when I 1st saw them now I think they are too OTT.

Much prefer how the Renault Clio looks.

Id say the clio round a track is roughly the same as the corsa.

Put the Megane F1 vs the Astra VXR vs Focus ST and you will see that the french will win that one.

Can of worms eh

Was going to trade mine in until i saw the front of them, everything else is spot on but the front looks awful, should have put the astra front on it

Again, that is exactly what Rachel said, everything is spot on apart from the front.
