Another Corsa, but this one's a 4 door (or 5 door hatch if you're posh ) It's another 1.2ltr so it's cheap to tax and insure. It's also gonna be cheaper on petrol too. As I do a lot of town driving it'll be better on my pocket than my 2.2ltr diesel Laguna

I did want the black SRI that I saw, but he said he wasn't happy with that one I suppose beggers can't be choosers

A 1.2 Corsa!!

Nooooooooo !!!

Sell it now while you still can,

Not joking as it will cost you so much money in repairs.

They are prone to head gaskets, cam chain tensioners failures, and a whole box of electronic failures including MAf, and ecu problems.

I am Marie It's ideal for what I want it for

It's an M reg (95) but it's been well looked after (3 previous owners, all women). It's only done 68555 miles. It takes a bit of getting used to having no power steering, but other than that, it's a dream to drive It's got no rust either, which is surprising for a car that age.

I'll get into the Laguna tomorrow, steer to hard and wrap myself round something
