You winge at every passenger that tries to put their feet on the shelf under the glove box.
It takes 2 months of owning the car before you realise how to turn the rear window demister on
You have to keep turning up the dimmer switch because any audible music vibrates it down.
You know what a 'paper clip test' is
You never know how much fuel you have till your half way there
When the amount of fuel you have depends on wether your accelerating or braking, or the angle of hill your parked on
You knock yourself out trying to get the gearknob off
You can hear the exhaust rattling off the axle
When the outside temperature is either riduculously high or ridiculously low
Anymore? lol

My old ignition barrel was broken so you either got radio or hot air through the vents, had to hold the key whilst driving to get both.

The rear window demister was on for me, and the fuel gauge that made me laugh

Also you know you have got a corsa when it goes into a gear it wants and not the one you select (wank linkage on my old sport) lol

When you look under the oil cap and panic the headgasket has gone only to realise it's 'condensation'.

WTH is this all about a rear demisted, its not hard to find?!

All vauxhall clutch pedals sweek, anybody who has owned a nova will know that every nova has it.

I dont agree with half of this thread

I have to do this on my F20 box

What about windscreen washers on with window open It pours in onto my electric mirrors switch.

Lowered with standard exhaust normally results in that annoying noise on rear beam. Remember that on my 1.4 sport.

Gotta love the characteristics on vauxhalls
