yeah seems it has been de badged and had differant wing mirrors which is a bit of a shame, anyone know how much a standard set are?
 
dont want a mondeo becuase they are too "fat" i.e very heavy, i got this becuase it is a relativly cheap insurance group for what it is, i learned to drive in a corsa and i find them nice to drive plus it only has 30K on the clock and i got it for 1K below the book price :D
 
The Clio is far better to drive and offers a better specification.

Whilst both arn't amazingly built Vauxhall managed to build the corsa's dash out of cheaper plastics than the french did.

And then we have the Fiesta which is class leading.

are you talking about the clio cup?
 
Jesus some of you guys are so undermining. Hes a young lad whose probably just got this Corsa as his first or second car. Not everyone on here can afford a BMW for their first car so give it a break for once.

Nice little car mate, had a corsa for my first car and it served me well until it fell apart :)

cheers its my 2nd car and its the 1.8 version forgot to mention that
 
It wouldn't beat a mk2 v6 mondeo on 0-60 time it might just beat a mk3 though

thats a totally different style of car who here had a V6 at 18? who here at 3-4K to waste on insurance at 18? clio sport is faster yes but the insurance is double, if i had got an older car likly hood is youll get more problems with it as itll have more miles like my first car did, sorry not going french again ever
 
I don't particularly like Corsa's either but for the money (Probably didn't pay much more than £4k) I think they are alright. A few of his mates probably have one aswell.

If he had come here before buying, what would you have suggested?

mondeo obv

Peugeot 106 GTi, Focus 2.0 Zetec (lower group for some reason), Fiesta Zetec-S etc. I think the Focus would be the number one choice though, 3 door Focus Zetec ESP with a decent 2 litre engine and Group 8 insurance.

And no, not a Mondeo, becuase its fairly obvious that your average Corsa SRI sympathiser probably isn't the sort who'd want a Mondeo.

well the focus, modeo and fiesta are slower and the 106 gti is 4 groups higher on insuarce for the same performance
 
How much did you pay and how many miles she got on the clock?
Wish I had one of them way back when I was 18, atm cant see any problems with it, leave it as it is though, please dont "mod" it!!

it has 30K on the clock paid £4K and its staying like it is maybe ill ditch the wingmirrors if i can get hold of some originals
 
thanks guys i think this is one of the funiest threads ive seen in a while all thees comparisons of V6 mondeos to corsas etc etc, i think many of you get carried away into thinking this is a ford owners club
 
IS that the coral near sandhurst if so I got ID there after I placed my bet and went to collect winnings?

Stupid MOFO's refused to refund the bet OR give me the winnings :(

Oh year nice car! First or an upgrade?

its an upgrade i had a 106 diesel as my first car well still have it trying to flog it now
