Are you saying that you are going to sell the Corsa, IMO thats a downgrade.

Cheers buddy

Bought the saxo just as a run around for the next couple of years whilst i build up NCB etc. Its cheap to run, and a lot of fun

Only thing the Corsa has over it is sound (for now) and interior (less squeaks) but apart from that, Saxo wins hands down.

Corsa was a nice motor, but i did what i wanted, and i wanted to move on before it deteriorated through age

No way would I have changed a corsa for a saxo

I would have kept the corsa until you decide top change for a much better car - thats what i did

:S i dont see why you all think Corsa's are worlds apart from Saxo's.

Just because they are one of the more direct rivals doesn't automatically make them shite

I'll bet some who comment just follow the crowd, i know i did, then i drove one and it was miles better than the Corsa in terms of handling, power delivery and looks.

Very true mate

I drove a corsa b and thought it was an alright car, nothing special. Since then I have drove a lot of different cars and I must say corsa's are fairly average.
I went from a corsa to my clio and its better in every way. From accelaration to speed, handling, fuel consumption even insurance is just as good.
The only decent thing about the corsa is that it was cheap to maintain as I did it all myself
