The corsa is now a bit of a pain for everyday use (80 mile round motorway trip) and dont fancy having to use it during the winter. It will be used for track use from now on.
so, Ive got up to 5K for a runabaout. want something diesel, reliable, smallish and modern. Im thinking Lupo tdi.
post your suggestions
