Right this may not seem directly corsa related - but it is.
I have wanted a corsa for while now, but whilst scanning auto trader i came across this - a ford puma!
Now i wanted to find out;
a) what do you think of these; and
b)do you think they are a bit girly?
Cheers in advance...

It's a ford. The interior will be all plasticy, it'll be noisy, and it won't go all that well. Plus it'll use a lot of fuel compared to other cars.
(BTW, I own a Ford)

Its a Ford, that's the 2nd mistake!
The first mistake was looking at it closer....
Girly Even the Puma Racing would be considerable

First car? Definately go for the Corsa then! Winner, ok so its a 1.0l but who cares, speed isn't everything
PS. You'd never get insured on the Puma anyway, there a silly high group for what they are!

I heard they drive like go carts and they said on the used car roadshow that they were like a years free motoring or sumthing because you could sell them on after a year for the same as you paid for it. but i still really like the corsa.
Corsa insurance - £1160
Puma insurance - £1723

Corsa Group 1-2 - Not a bad quote!
Puma Group 12-13 - F-kin unbelievable at that, get the Puma 
EDIT, a 106 Gti's only group 13 mate, you sure thats right?? I hate french cars with a passion and I have one but if my insurance was that cheap on my first car i'd get a fast one. 106 Gti.....

I can get the same quote for a 316i coupe, or A3 1.6 3dr, just my funds dont really allow for a decent audi a3 and the 316 coupe is a little boxy. I got the quotes of quinn direct - complete legends. The prices are what they are because of the low risk area i live in.
As for the price, the fella lives just up the road from me so im gona call up after 5.30. I was even thinking of buying it, then selling it again for a small profit. But thats just a thought.

Happy days - i will definatly do that then, looks like both my uncles will be driving it also then...lmao.
I was just a bit concerned that it might be a bit too girly for a 17 lad like - thats my only worry.
