shocking build quality from what I have seen!
and dont buy one of the last ones made
i mean think of the effort they put in knowing they were getting laid off once the cars were complete

Brother had one for just over 12 months and had to go back to garage a few times...

Stitching on the seat was all loose when he picked it up from the showroom. Alarm/immobiliser knackered after 2 months when it got water in it somehow.. And then the ECU died last month but unfortunately for him it wasn't covered under warranty.

Avoid at all costs imo.

cupra sounds good...

and yea something nippy but not stoopid quick stepping up from 1.2 cost is not really a factor but something a bit bigger than the corsa, and more "luxurious" yaa mean...

Astra coupe is by far a better deal.

Can get em for like £6k, a choice of power outputs, turbo is tuneable and most have large std equipment levels.
