Suppose you could trade the corsa in for it. so really your going to spend £6000 with insurance + finance if needed on a 10 year old car!

135 bhp. BTW 17's are far to big for the car and look stupid. they dont feel right with anything over 15's

17s would be definatly going for smaller wheels mate no worries about that, just trying to find stats and reviews on these cars

they seem pretty nippy as standard, a little slower than the SRi in terms of straight line speed. probably quite even round the bends also. can be tuned to rediculous levels for not much money though!!

Insurance is a killer as they are an import. Most won't touch you until you are 25, as I found out!

i found insruance really cheap when i was thinking about buying one, admiral only class it as group 7 or something stupid like that, was really cheap bout £700 a year 20 with no ncb.
also i belive they have a 0-60 ish of around 6.5 odd seconds so pretty nippy, probs slow down a lot after that though.

Yes, but it's not for the Glanza, it's for the earlier model.
So if you crash they probably won't pay out, as it's not insured right.
Tried that one myself. Not worth the risk!

Bit pricey for 10 year old cars with no history and also interiors are very erm....dull!
All saying that they are very cool cars with a huge following
