Decided the corsa is a pain 
Gonna get rid of probably this week, maybe at the weekend.
Whatever car i need needs to be is a decent workhorse, something comfy, something i'll enjoy milling to work and back in, that wont mind motorway and wont drink petrol/diesel. Have about 5k, and as i'm only 18 cant get anything that will be rediculous to insure
Thinking of next car anyway, possibly this

Or maybe a 1.5 clio
or another corsa 
And i have just realized that corsa is not in the dictionary on here

Don't get a 106, as unless you get a gti the other's are a joke. and I doubt you'd get insured on a Gti!
Get a smallish engine'd hatch, relatively new.
Doubt you'd of thought of this mate... but Mini One?? not S?
Can be had for about 5k, NEW!, handle well... go alright for what they are... (not near the S mind!)

Buy a cheap 306 diesel and spend the rest of the money on a 5cyl Audi or V8 Ford project

I like the look of the ibiza's, however i can get hold of C3's quite cheap (Girlfriends uncle has a citroen/merc garage). I learnt in a 1.4 HDI and it had fair amount of poke to it, and its comfy, easy to drive etc, and most importantly cheap to run and insure 
but are they gay ?

I wouldn't be bothered about 5 door tbh. At least with the Corsa C they aren't ridiculously different unlike the B.
