as above really? has the corsa b become like the nova was when it was VERY chav to own one?
if anything, i enjoy the stigma attached, knowing that if i wanted, i could afford something much much nicer - just waiting for the right time to move on when this recession completely cripples used car prices.
anyways... corsa b? am i uncool for driving one?

owning a certain car isn't uncool as you are laughing at the people waiting in the rain for a bus/train etc

chavvy?  im afraid i don't see a huge bodykit with standard suspension and a huge 4inch backbox which you can fit a melon in and neon lights underneith your car  your cars looks smart and doesnt look anything chavvy , but anyway yer the people that normally do that make corsa b's look bad.

Yes it is.
Every car has a stigma attached to it though !

Shauns is prob one of the most subtle cars on the site
I used to be a corsa hater thot they were shite & chavvy, cos i've had a few EG Civics in the past, but i couldnt turn mine down as it was one of few corsa's i liked, and has to be my favourite car out of the 20 something i've owned, and have no intention of selling it yet.
I dont care who thinks what about it, my car, gives me great pleasure driving it

In a way- yeah. But cant really change the stigma attached to it.
I was sick of it in the end, people automically think its bodykited,chavd,boyracer'd up, when you tell them you have a corsa.

Whats wrong with novas?
TBH its a vauxhall thing. Any vauxhall is usually seen as "chavvy". Its the way the scene had been in the past. But its changing and with people seeing better things coming from the new vauxhall range, hopefully things are on the up.

I was called a chav in mine
round my way its usually more "normal" people that own corsa's
its the saxo/106 drivers that have the burberry caps..
Vauxhall didnt really help by having burberry interiors though

fiesta
clio
106
Saxo
all seem to have more of a "Chav" image around my way! most of the corsa b's around here are all done up quite nicely and are owned by people with a clue about cars etc, not just some chav throwing some TSW wheels and some lexus lights!
imo a Novas and corsa will always be famous for the ease of engine transplants etc!
I still want to own a Nova/Corsa LET
