Nope, not at all! I've had a good time building it to how i wanted it to be. I've also met some new friends out of doing it, and going to shows over here and one in Belgium. And i'll be doing more shows home and abroad this year again and meeting new friends.
I also get to play on my R6 too so i have two money pits!  But i work to pay for the things i like doing in life!

Mine was cheap to buy, was cheap to stick a bigger engine in etc, cheap to run and insure. I'd say it was great value for money. Sooooo many 2nd hand parts available for them too, its a buyers market

Ive owned 3 Corsa's, 2 didn't make the road as they where both just to learn a few bits on and both where total sheds
Bought my current one and class it as my proper first car as I have learnt to drive in it etc.
Spent a fair few quid on it so far and do plan to spend more, a few people have said I am wasting my money but it puts a smile on my face at the end of the day, when I look at it I get a good feeling as I have styled it myself and put my hard work into it to get it looking like it does today.
I still have so much plans for it so I couldn't get rid yet.

Nope, don't regret it.
After having 7 Novas and only keeping one of them any lengh of time I realised that constant swapping and changing of cars was losing me money and I was rarely getting a better car.
Decided to buy a Corsa GSi and just keep it and do everything I wanted, I would say I did 90% of what I wanted in the four years I owned it.

I had a 1.4 sport as my first car and bloody loved it  I'd only done afew thing to it but was enough for me at the time and was going to recieve the XE treatment eventually
The only thing I regret about my corsa is breaking it  Saying that it was a bit of a death trap at one point so I had to get rid of it
I'm happy witrh my astra atm though

Not at all. My 12v hasn't let me down on 20k's worth of Uni commuting. Therefore is cheap to run. I also worked out today I'm getting about 46mpg, so can't complain really.
Also, after posting on here initially for advice, I have made some great people (although addicted to coming on Corsasport) and I've 'personalised' my car to how I want it. I also see it as a hobby.
Of course, given the opportunity to chop the car in for something better, I would. But I'd also like to stay with Corsa's for the time being, and definitely Vaux in the future.

My 1st Corsa I regret because it had a dodgy back groud, and when I fitted a new bonnet I found out it had been in a smash.
My 2nd one I don't regret as much, I just wish I didnt spend 1k on rings, pistions, headgaskets, cam belts kits etc
My 3rd Corsa I've just bought, and needs work, but I don't regret it as I love a project
