Nothing special, Just a corsa 1.4 with low millage, any colour tbh and in good shape lol. I sold my old corsa thinking I will be able to pick one up easy, sorely mistaken!

Having the same problem finding a nice UK Impreza .

There are imports left, right & centre, good UK one's in the right colour are so hard to find.

Good luck finding yours though!

Just taken me an age to find my latest car, hang in there one will come up. Buyer's market at the moment too, and don't be scared to travel if you find the right car.

been having the same prob finding a decent 1.5td Corsa B, a newer model e.g. 98-00

although im guessing there are alot less of these about then sports, where are you getting your quotes from the 1.6 really shouldnt be that much more to insure

how much do you have to spend?

what age?
preferred colour?
mileage?

I'll find something, do you mind travelling?
