TinkerBell · 15 Mar 2006 at 21:01

Well i got my car today, sorted out the tax and the tiny prob with the noisy gearbox and im soooo pleased

Its got a lot more power than i expected it would for a 1.2 and im loving it, i really cant see any problems with it, its a great little runner and im loving it

I would recommend getting a corsa for a first car anyday

hehe!!

I will get it all cleaned up and get some pics of it taken tomorrow

Congratulations, you must be chuffed

I have had a fair few new shaped corsa 1.2 SXI's as courtesy cars, and tbh they aren't that low powered for a 1.2.

Have fun with it

is it a brand new 06? if so you're damn lucky getting a brand new car for your first

did you pass first time? *shakes fist at you*

L0rdMike · 15 Mar 2006 at 21:12

I dunno thought it was normal for all Corsas to try race cars they have no chance of winning against.

no you get a certificate when you pass and you can drive straight away

your provisional gets taken away after the test if you pass, at the moment i have no ID so cant go out drinking

not that i want to now

TripleT · 15 Mar 2006 at 21:18

You can drive from the day you pass your test :confused:

Nice little first car, people slate them but they're fine for what you need it for

I had a 1.2 SXi for a couple of weeks after my old one was written off, managed about 1200 miles in it I think

Wasn't bad, quite a nice drive, although found the seats uncomfortable on long (3+ hours) journeys.

You must have been lucky then.

I had to send my provisional off in exchange for the certificate at a cost

your provisional gets taken away after the test if you pass, at the moment i have no ID so cant go out drinking not that i want to now

Good man

Welcome to the Corsa club! We aren't popular around here though

IIRC, only the diesel engines on the Corsa are from Fiat... not the petrol engines.
