New cars just dont feel nice (like for like cars), interiors becoming more and more tacky plastic stuck on with push fit clips (i know the B has some) dont know if any one agrees with me but thats the way i see it

C's are better in all ways than B's.

Driving and interior are much better.

B's are old, but i found it more nippy and felt smller for some reason, i miss my Sport still

i loved the 'new' factor when i got my C, felt good, but the novelty wears off though, just keep an eye out for cheap C's and look for plus points, like A/C, side skirts, electric windows etc and steering wheel controls, all them bits make it appear nicer.

I've driven a few b's and owned 2 c's, the c's were much better built imo.

No experience of the d's.

if any1 is thinking about buying a d i would strongly advise them not too, the plastic is even worse than the c, the steering is far too responsive as if it is aided to move as soon as you touch it, the seats are uncomfy, and if your looking for the bonnet catch ul need to go over too the other footwell, and all the switches/ buttons are all rubbery and look cheap

I would agree! I dont think the C suffers it...but the D certainly does. All new cars look and feel the same now! Inside they are cheap and tacky, and end up smelling horrible after a year or so of use. They arent designed to last and just dont have any character. Plus, the windscreens now appear to want to meet the horizon...with dashes having a second piece to make it to the screen.

Old cars always...

Corsa B is the Don. Weighs less, costs less, easy to insure, look lovely euro'd or race prep'd and that wins it for me. Corsa C has less character. Only reason i'd go for a C is because its newer however i'd much prefer a 2000 B over a 2001 C
But thats my 2p anyway
