Well, they know i hate it with a passion. And they find it uncomfortable in the passenger seat, very shhhhhaky.

No never. The salesman was great, but the after care service sucked and then some.

July 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes we got a good deal on part exchanging our 04 Corsa against this

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Have had 2 Corsas before and liked the look of the new one

What was the dealer like?

The salesman was great, we bought our other 2 Corsa's from him.

What's it like to drive?

Not fun, it's always struggling to get up hills. It's as if it needs another gear - 5th isnt enough. Doesnt stick to the road that well. So not as nippy as my 04 1.2 active :-(

What's it like to park?

S'ok

Have you had any problems with the car?

I said the suspension was too hard, was told it was sporty i should expect it but it was jarring. A mechanic called me and explained it was sporty and to go with it, i still wanted it checked. Salesman drove it down to the service garage and commented suspension seemed bit odd. Turns out we had VXR springs on it!

What's most practical about your car?

Hmmm. I really can't think of anything. 5 doors...?

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Steering wheel controls
