Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (2003 - 2006) 1.2i 16V SXi+ (80ps) 3d (2006/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Common young driver.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

It's great for a first car, it's in good condition with a fairly nice interior and drives well.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I'd rather something a little more powerful and larger. I only bought the car due to the condition and it's reputation as a first car for a young driver. It's a great car but I wouldn't buy the same again.

What are you likely to buy next?

Volkswagen Golf.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,850

When did you buy the car?

December 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

I believe that I did get a good deal. It was okay to drive and the condition was spot on.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Good reputation for a first car and the insurance was reasonably priced for a young driver.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly.

What's it like to drive?

Despite only being a 1.2, it's a fairly punchy engine. Driving around town is fine. Driving on the motorway is fine, in fact, I was fairly surprised at the rigidity on the motorway. Fairly poor around mountainous areas.

What's it like to park?

The size of the car pretty much talks for itself on this one. It's easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

One morning it would not start at all. At around lunch time I tried it again and it started fine and has since. No idea what the fault was.

What's most practical about your car?

Despite being a small car, there's reasonable room inside and the boot fits what I need into it.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Half leather seats and steering wheel radio controls.
