Right people, i've had enough of having to all use my upper body mucsles to steer my car, I really cant be arsed with it driving to work in the mornings.

So can people please tell me the Corsa B models that come with power steering. Or for that matter, any other 'smaller' car that has power steering, been interested in a 106GTi recently, any ideas? price range £2k or just a touch over

thanks in advance!

I wasn't going to mention VTR/VTS for obvious reasons, but now you've mentioned it

Trust me mate. Don't listen to the "corsa nuts" on here as you'll always get there biased opinion.

Drive one and see for yourself, you will be impressed, trust me

If you drive one with an induction kit you'll fall in love, the sound they produce is ace

lol, no way mate....i've been looking at them, there was a 02 VTS for sale on saxosportsclub for £900 near where I live last week. Was gonna buy it.

How old are you again? I'd probably go for a VTR if I were you as it's quite a few groups higher for a VTS and you'll notice a considerable jump in insurance.

Depending on if you want a facelift model or not, the classic shape can be picked up easily for around a grand. There a few for sale in the classified section. A facelift model, depending on mileage and condition can be picked up for betweem £1.5k - £4.5k, but a very descent facelift VTR can be picked up for £1800ish

VTR makes most sense as they are decent on insurance, imo now the only ones worth getting now are the mk2 as they have the 98bhp engine

Cool Brett. Insurance shouldn't be a problem, I'm going to be on my dads traders policy next month, so I can drive anything upto an 1800cc but also allowed to drive my dads 2.3l mercedes, which is cool. so as long as the car is in my dad's name, I can drive without any problems hopefully.

VTS it is then

What you driving now? If it's a a1.2 or anything below like my first car was then you'll notice a huge difference

My bad, the VTS for sale was a 2000 V Plate, but still a very very reasonable £900
