Corsa - Slow (surprise surprise ) , agree with rear fog switch knee always hits that, agree with demister takes forever, things are too hard to mod i.e. bits are welded or screwed on bloody tight cant get anything of to mod or change oh and agree with pedals being too close together, also the gearbox is flimsy as fuck always feels like its gonna break and always have trouble putting it into certain gears

Fiesta xr2- very uncomfortable seats

Right, here goes for the Astra:

- front brakes are shit
- handbrake needs adjusting
- middle box baffles are loose
- manifold heat shield is loose
- solenoid on injector #2 is ridiculously loud
- possible electrical problem (slow indicators/wipers - could be alternator and/or belt, battery is only a few months old?)
- windscreen wiper motor/linkage makes funny screeching noise sometimes

Citroen AX GT - too fragile dents too easily but cheap to fix and run

Citroen ZX 2ltr 16v - VERY expensive to fix eg, water pump £150, Clutch £300, New engine £1700, ABS sensor £75 each.

Corsa - ICV (I think) track rod ends, shitty brakes.
