Not bad for a first car

Classic first car, the Corsa has no major issues. OK to drive, nothing exciting. Not very fast but the 1.2 is better than the 1.0. It also manages well over 40 mpg, for petrol this is good. Reliable is looked after, make sure it gets the oil and belt changes for higher mileage.

Nice and smooth and refined for a smaller car. Quite spacious as well.

Have enjoyed most of my time with it but time to move on - watch for rust at the sub-frame causing MOT failure on any Corsa's at around 10 years old or more. Also watch for overpriced cars on the used market - walk away from any rusty ones, there are plenty to choose from.
