Was the first car I seen when I walked into the showroom 
Guy asked if I needed any help I pointed to it and said I'll take one of them please 
So im not surprised I traded my corsa C in after a month

Always wanted one, knew that an SXi would be a better compromise than a Sport, for insurance purposes.
Wanted an arden blue one, but was sold just before I put a deposit on it so got the red one instead!

Originally wanted a nova (cant for the life of me remember why) as my first car but parents didnt want me to get such an old car so got a T reg corsa 1.0 12v instead, had no extras, no electrics or anything and it was slow as shit so after just over 2 years of driving it round i picked up my GSi yesterday

When I first passed my test Corsa's were one of the cheapest for insuring, also there was a bargain to be had when I bought my first Corsa, I'd just got rid of an RS Turbo which was costing me bucketloads in expenses, I wanted to cut my outgoings down.

1. I dont like the build quality of french cars
2. Always been into Vauxhalls cos family and friends have always had them
3. Generally like them and plenty of parts/help available!

yes I like the fact you can take brakes and interior goodies of the larger Vauxs and fit them to make your Corsa a better spec without having to modify them to make them fit. Can do that with a few other makes of cars though I suppose!

I like the look of vauxhalls, corsa had modding potential, they are quite fun 
wrote the first one off, but that was a shitter  now got my lovely one

First one because it was cheaper than a Clio and modded better than Fiesta.
Second one because it was my brothers and it was easier than finding a good one.
Third one because it had 2 years free insurance.
Fourth one because I wanted a rally car.
Fifth one because I needed bits for the fourth one.
Sixth one because I was bored waiting for the fourth one to be finished.
You have a bit of a Corsa problem
