corsa 1.2 16v sxi with irmscher styling pack which includes:

front splitter
backbox
spoiler

i think this is pretty nice for a first car and out of all the small cars i found the corsa gave me most room and was the nicest drive

opinions please

My opinion is that your pictures are taking too long to load and are far too big, I've only got a picture of your boot so far!

1.2 corsa with front splitter & spoiler? Not sounding too promising but I'll reserve full opinion until I can see it properly

i dont know why they loaded fine a few mins ago. and i dont think the spoiler or splitter are ott or chavvy i think they look smart. they came as an optional extra on the car when it was bought new

How much was it? By the description it sounds like a very nice first car.

Breamy · 20 Nov 2006 at 21:27

I wouldnt mind that kind of money and that car

I would say its a bit high for a first car though.

that sounds a lot for a cosra 1.2

Pictures taking years 2 load

EDIT: oh its the new corsa, thats not to bad tbh... nice colour

... but spoiler is stock

well ive left school and have a job as a plasterer so have a bot of money from that and had been saving money every week from my paper round for 3 1/2 years. im glad i payed for it all myself though hate people that get brand new cars as presents for doing well in the gcses and stuff

What's the insurance like on that for you?

Breamy · 20 Nov 2006 at 21:37

no its not its slightly dif cant really see it well in the pic. its an irmscher spoiler not a standard sxi spoiler

Six6siX · 20 Nov 2006 at 21:38

Only the pic of the exhaust and half the others are loading for me...hmm

It looks/sounds ok, lot of money for a first car though.

Wouldn't have been my choice, but its not me driving it so if you like it, thats ok then

ah right... sorry... is it zippy then? and what is the drive like mate?

Not too bad then. You'll have to be very careful matey, stack it into a dich / wall / another car and you've just lost yourself over £3k.

Nothing like driving about in your new car though, enjoy it & watch out for the roads atm, some of them are like glass.

its pretty nippy definately doesnt seem like a 1.2 and the handling is brilliant thanks to the stiffer springs of the sxi model. handles a bit lke a go kart on steroids
