Yeah, well it would be 6500 max.. Alternatively there is peugeot 206 54 reg (but the 0-60 is much slower I believe)

true, and my brothers kept breaking.. However, Corsa's are very common on the road today which slightly puts me off. They do however have great interior compared to rivals.

if we spent all of our time worrying about what other drivers thought of our cars would we ever make a decision on a car. the car needs to fit your specifications of what youre looking for. your paying for it... no one else

The SRI's are cheaper (I believe) thus why I am looking at them more.

The interior is amazing. And I LOVE that steering wheel. (How much would one like that cost). Oh, and besieds the DVD player and seats, what have you changed inside that?

Because other people see a kitted up car and think that. That car, my GSi, factory standard stuff like MG things, Astra VXR, Focus ST, they're all boy racer flash silly cars.
Bothered? No.

Why would you need a roll cage? How much is a sterring wheel like that out of interest.
The reason people see it as boy racer as because these hatchs are relatively cheap. By putting on huge exhausts and alloys etc, the average person kind of thnks you are a 'chav' (hate to use that word, sorry) and that you are doing it to make your car look much faster and compete with the expensive cars.. (If you get me)
