Anyone had any experience with these driving them day in, day out?
Pug is now starting to have a few niggles and need to look into replacing it in the next year or so (needs to save some cash).
I do 20k a year at least and these Corsa's look good for 70MPG apparently.

You won't get 70 mpg either, 50 is more realistic, gf has one, I like them, apart from the wierd steering.
Not that I wouldn't get used to the steering but it's wierd when you are jumping straight into another car.

Don't like the indicators in them AT ALL and I've only driven my mums one a few times. Lass at work has the ecoflex one, reckon she uses about as much fuel as my Golf does, 50mpg ish though she is mostly driving round town.

If it's anything like the Punto then then 90 is the more economical model...
