Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (2000 - 2004) 1.0i 12V Club 3d (01) (2001/Y) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not a lot, most people probably looked and though I'd just passed my test...which I had

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

All agreed it was the sensible choice and were perfectly comfortable in it, two of my friends have since bought the same shape corsa

Would you buy this car again and why?

I'd happily own one again although probably the 07> VXR model, having driven the 1.8 SRi 03 plate I can recommend that as a fun drive

What are you likely to buy next?

I bought a Ford Fiesta after selling the corsa, which is a far better all round car, despite my love for the vauxhall

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,400

When did you buy the car?

March 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

£100 off the price and was the only 1.0 in the local area, but in hindsight travelling a bit further would have got me a better deal

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

After test driving 3 or 4 cars the corsa was by far the easiest to drive and being Group 1 insurance for my 1st car really helped

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly and helpful, let me test drive 3 of his cars to make sure I was happy

What's it like to drive?

Good fun from what I remember, went and handled like a go-kart if you kept it in second gear, could get a lot of wheelspin if you got excited at the lights

What's it like to park?

So easy for anyone, huge rear screen and wing mirrors and its a small car

Have you had any problems with the car?

Very little that could go wrong in all honesty as its the lowest spec...sometimes the clock didnt work, if that counts

What's most practical about your car?

3 doors, small boot, its not the most practical car on the road but it was fine for me

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

had none to start with, but I loved my Sony i-pod connecter stereo
