Like i said corsas seem to have alot of problems, few are lucky though. 4th piston 
The astras are much better build quality so id go for one of them if anything.
Dont know how true this is but vauxhall corsa parts started being manufactured in the same factory as Fiat which are poo, the wheel bearings go every 10k and the bearing are built into the hub so your looking at £140 just for a hub when they go 
At that point i left the show room.
I must say after going through CTR forums i can safely say they have made a well built car there 
So thats what ill be saving for.
