Corsa's Gone

[samwell]

Well after 2 years of ownership and over 63,000 miles, the Corsa was returned today and I picked up my new car.

The Corsa has been a fantastic car, it's had most of the usual minor problems but nothing big. It has never left me stranded and I've loved every minute of driving it. It also went to Germany and completed two laps of the Ring and still never missed a beat! I cannot recommend one enough, for the money it is superb in so many areas but it is time to move on.

Few pics of my Corsa:













So after a short trip to Slough I picked up my new beauty:





I know some people won't like it but it is absolutely amazing, I've only ever owned Vauxhall's so didn't really know what to expect, but it has blown me away. Obviously I haven't pushed the engine much yet but the interior is superb and the entertainment system is spot on (You get Aux in, Media in, 6-CD changer and I specced DAB and Dynaudio uprated speakers and amp). Loving it. No DSG, I felt full leather would have been of more benefit.

I'll still hang around if people don't mind, the Scirocco forums, as good as they are, are no way as busy or entertaining than here

Nice car... I test drove one when looking at the Corsa but i found it a bit boring and too controlled through corners, i wanted something a little lively... So the Corsa won. Lol

Got to love the 18's on it though, very nice car

Cheer pal, yeah they are cool. I'm sure the Corsa is more fun in the twisties but I cover around 30,000 miles a year so need the comfort - the adaptive chassis control is a dream

Thanks mate, yer unfortunately it is staying standard for now, it's a company car

But....it NEEDS lowering, so really want some springs. And I want to paint various bits black (badges, rear diffuser etc.) I'll see how I get on

Thanks Paulie, they are nice cars. I'd love to see what you could do with one with your penchant for carbon and BBS

Yeh maybe so but I would love one.. My friend has just got a white 1.4TSI with the black vienna leather, Touchscreen DVD Navigation 30 GB hard drive and Dynaudio soundpack with DAB and the 18's and its stunning

I love it..

All about the white

I did actually mate, although the Astra was "too much to quote". Another Corsa VXR would have costed me the same as this, so IMO it was a no-brainer. This was when GM were having their troubles so I think my company took that into account

Still, atleast this is my first non-Vauxhall

They are brilliant, the leather is lush and is a must on this type of car IMO. It was that or the Sat Nav for me and factory Sat Nav's have never appealed. The Dynaudio and DAB are amazing. Nearly puts my home stereo to shame
