what other cars did you look at..
i remember going to southend to look at a white nova 1.4sri, but it was crap, really bodged up.
looked at a black corsa sport 1.4, but turned out it had powersteering.
also looked at a 306 1.6xs, but it was a bit tatty
or a 309 gti for £1k (3 years ago) wish i'd got this tbh

My first Corsa B SXi, I was looking at new cars.
Went to look at Fiesta 1.3 8v's they had no electrics, no central locking nothing so my dad got me out of there quick seeing as they were about 9k
Then went to Citreon garage, and was being shown the 1.1 model, really was'nt intrested in it so left.
Last call was Vauxhall as TBH I did'nt really fancy a Corsa at the time, then after a test drive in a 1.4 16v Sport and pricing things up, decided that the SXi was the good middle man with 2 years free insurance, years AA cover, 3 year warranty.
£200 deposit, £280 a month and a final payment of £2500 or take the car back.
Waited 2 weeks then had the car, I was happy and girls were wet W899 NJB

first one was brand new. looked at a new punto before hand, but the corsa was clearly the better option. worked out cheaper too.
didn't look at anything else when i bought the current one.
i was waiting for something cheap to come up. left a deposit straight away or else someone else would have snapped it up that day.

Yes, I wish I had got the 1.6 16v TBH, I could have afforded and I was under the impression that the 1.6 16v did not come with 2 years free insurance 
Idiots, I could have been caining Saxos a long time ago

hahaha well the 1.6 didnt come with 2 free years insurance...however when I was looking they has a special offer on for 1 month only giving free insurance on the 1.6 model...I was initially gonna buy the SXI...and when I was in the showroom I just happened to glance at a leaflet on the windscreen of a sport...I was like...errr scrap that...do me a price on one of them instead seens as they come with free insurance etc...
