Welcome to the real world. Loved my Corsa to bits, but tbh, I just want to try new things. All my mates were and I felt left out still having the Corsa. Other reasons too why I sold it, but that was one.

Im just getting bored of fixing it tbh, dare i say it the 106 is more fun to drive as a can kick its arse on a daily basis turn it off and not worry about it, it corners better too.

How much did you sell yours for ?

That was my other reason! Was needing repairing on a regular basis. As for how much I sold mine for, don't really want to post it, but made more breaking it than I ever would trying to sell as a whole. But then again, I would never of wanted to see someone else enjoying something ive built up, so breaking it was my only option

Now that decisions yours... But you can't generally go wrong with jap. Unfortunatly, they do seem very well built and reliable which is why most people turn to jap.

Move on

I can't knock a quick corsa, they are mega fun and silly quick. But, if you like more than straightline stuff, my word theres so much better out there.

I.E, I LOVED my corsa, besotted with it. Wasn't ignorent to its handling and its flaws, but I couldn't move on.

After using the Astra, and driving lots of other cars, and taking it on track, instantly it was the better choice. NEarly as fast (future scope), better chassis, better interior and comforts, reliable (as in 3 years starts now issues at all!!!!)..

Whilst you may have issues with another car, you can make things go faster if you make the right choices.
