Seems a good price. Quite cheap actually.
Is that your budget? And is insurance an issue?
I'd look at a lot more other cars for that price. Namely Zetec S'.

Will do the job then.
What about Corsa C's? You'll have some change/spending money then.

an alfa with a very annoying flappy paddle gearbox that was very slow.
I could list about 40 things that I hated about the corsa D

im sorry for doing that, but i dnt see any where i have done that, do you?i said insurance is an issue as deano87 said about a zetec s, i only stated engine size because i want a bit of mpg on petrol
Dave A what did you find wrong? i know about the hand brakes being shit on some of them.

I have driven one a fair bit and my main gripe was the stupidly thick A pillar which gives you a blind spot on most right hand bends.

good point harrisp, im going to look at it tomorrow, only had a quick look around, didnt see any signs of dents or scratches, alloys are like new, but i dnt think the A pillar will stop me from buying one, but thanks for pointing it out though

I agree with harrisp on that.The massive A pillar is especially bad cominng onto roundabouts.

My wife has the Design. If you are getting a Corsa Design get the 1.4 not the 1.2. The 1.4 is gutless enough so I dread to think what the 1.2 is like!!! But then I do get in it after driving my Vixxer so most cars would feel a bit sluggish!
Apart from that they are great cars, and the Design is very well specc'd.

cheers for that, went and had a good look around it, the girlfriend loves it, think i will lose it to her in the end lol, but yea i found it slow, very slow, felt the same as my 1.0L, that was a big let down, so now im looking for a 1.4 design, the girlfriend wants me to get the sxi, but i think the design is better, i found the spec good for the type of car

We went to the dealers with an Sxi in mind, but the spec of the design is so much better.
