    What do you think of this ? Do these have the same problems as the 1 litre Corsa's ? I doubt it gets 70MPG...
    Its suspiciously cheap for a small engined diesel car. Most diesel Polo's or Corsa's I see sell for much more...

    Also, why would anyone want to straight swap a 3 Series coupé for a Corsa ??

    Small diesel engine pulling around a small car, seems to be a good recipe for economy.

    And why swap a 3 series for that yoke? Running costs, I would assume. He'd probably make the value of that car back over the next two years compared to the BMW.

    I drive one of them Corsa's. Well, except the fact that its still in Ireland and I ain't. But it's a nice car IMO.

    And, its pretty damn cheap to run :D

    Are you sure, Id say that photo isn't of the particular car
    Maybe you're right though, ad says vauxhall did the servicing

    2004 Vauxhall Corsa SXI CDTI

    As the plate is blocked, FVSH and 'tax' being an issue I'd imagine it's not VRT'd

    Awful yokes. I drive one for 8 months as my first car. Fine learner's car, but I got into it yesterday for the first time in a week and it was horrible compared to my new(er) car. Terrible driver's position, concrete pedals, no power, uncomfortable, awful handling and ugly as hell. Reliable though, never let me down.

    I'd recommend a Fiesta.

    Funnily enough I'd consider a Corsa as a first car.

    My g/f is going to learn to drive and I'm considering down sizing the car (won't be until next summer IF I do it) for a few months to give her something to drive and the above would be perfect
