well sad to say but last night my corsa came to its death it had some how melted the piston and due the the amount of trouble i've had with the car im not going to be repairing it i might be scrappping or selling as spairs or repair
so i'm after a new car but with me only having a part time job i havent got a massive budget im looking bout 800 quid
i've had a look on ebay and the likes i've been looking at astras cavalier and nova i'm kind set on a nova i've seen but i was just wounder if you lot had an other ideas of what i could look for
looking for something small relativly quick good handling i keep going back to the nova it got to be relieable to
any help and comments welcome

why not a diesel? okay won't be jawdropping to drive, but it won't be bad, driven my mates and it was alright, pretty good motorway cruiser. i'd swap my petrol straight away for the right diesel tbh
