Waterlogged footwells on Vauxhall Corsa - Is this a known fault?

Starting what seems a fruitless task looking for a Vauxhall Corsa, 2002/3, for my son's first car. Most very obviously damaged. One common problem seen in several cars is a waterlogged mat etc in the driver's footwell. Also maybe the passenger's side also. Is this a known fault and is there an easy cure?

Yes. See the entry in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar Look for a Fiesta 1.25 or a Yaris 1.0 or 1.3 instead.
