I went to have a look at them today, quite suprised with how nice they are 
Had a red one at the showroom with a few extras on & it looked 
Which models have you all got? The Active Sport model seems like a fairly good choice
Also the susuki garage is next door to our Fiat dealership, the new Swifts look alright, even in standard form as a base model

Well for the past few weeks I've been looking into getting a new car. still not sure if I want to or not
Can't really see the red Corsa lasting that long as its getting old & its done a fair few miles!
Thought about Astra coupe, but the ones in my price range are all just out of warranty = gay
Not seen the new Colts yet, what they like price wise?

Already got one Corsa that torque steers too much, don't want another one thank you 
PS the Swift looks nice! & quite big inside! & cheap!
What else would you need from a small, cheap, nice looking car?

well after seein the 207 at the motorshow i quite liked it the interior wasnt bad, everything was layed out well and u can get some nice gadgets with it
the clio not that impressed by looks or interior really
the corsa was ok but imo better cars out there for the money, the desile wasnt too abd of a drive (1.7 that is) 1.4 felt like it was lagging

Im after a daily runabout not a hot hatch
Looked at the 207's - very ugly
Plus quite a bit more expensive!
New Corsas aren't going to be too dear. Same as the current one infact
Or I could keep an eye out for a C that goes cheap when the D is launched

Nothing like the road version
The sportier models have a differant bumper that makes it look like it has a snout. Looks terrible
