Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (2000 - 2004) 1.0i 12V Club 5d (2003/03) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Nice small car.

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

They thought it was a very good car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably not but only because I need more space.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably a Ford Focus or Peugeot 206 SW.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,100

When did you buy the car?

February 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Good enough but the car had a few problems which the dealer probably wouldn't have known about as they appeared a few months later.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap on insurance and running costs.

What was the dealer like?

Nice and friendly.

What's it like to drive?

Very nice to drive, light and responsive.

What's it like to park?

Couldn't be easier.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Overall nothing. However, there have been a few things like the oil needs topping up every week or so (we searched every possibility and still couldn't find out where the oil was disappearing to). Also, it went through 3 batteries in the space of 6 months, after about a year the battery couldn't hold its charge even after being on charge all night. No major faults that would stop the car running though.

What's most practical about your car?

It's got a lot of space for a small car, can fit five people in comfortably. The steering is also nice and light and it's also very nippy.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The power steering.
