the question is do you like it? and if not, why did you buy it?

Undecided, sometimes it looks ok, sometimes not
Have you come to a decision on your views yet?

I prefer it out of all the new hot hatches though, but that's not saying much

I quite like it but don't think I could buy one, would rather a new Fiesta ST in blue

I think the Fiesta ST is meant to be a slightly better car to drive (unsure if that still applies compared to a performance packed corsa), I just cant get over how bland it looks! otherwise I would have seriously considered it
Looks like a older CTR imo especially from the back

the guy driving it in that pic doesnt exactly have an excited face
my opinion is, i dont particularly like it. i think the front end of the pre facelift one looks loads better.
i also dont think at 35 i would be buying a small corsa.

Front on these looks dodgy.
Would look much better if the top grille was lower down and met the light each side and bonnet changed to suit this. Also if the massive grille with the Vauxhall logo was moved down and badge removed then the plate moved up to where the grille is now to be in between the two grilles

Do you think a badboy bonnet would improve things?

Somthing like this would sort would sort the grille under the bonnet out

Hope they don't charge for body coloured bumpers as it appears to only have half a bumper on the front there..
Its more of a "hole surround" than a bumper.

Perfect for when I fit a Nic Barnes intercooler

I'd of rather gone for one a few years old on the previous shape and saved a load of cash, probably wouldn't loose *that* much then if you kept it two years.
Not that I know anything about new Corsa's, my limited knowledge extends to Corsa B's

Loads I could have gone for second hand and saved a load of cash.
Wouldn't have even bought a corsa if I was looking at second hand.
Only really reason was because its a brand new car at a pretty good price, got almost 4k off the list price.
And the performance packed ones are actually meant to be pretty decent too

I think the only reason is something to do with your girlfriend situation, either impressing the new one or showing the old one what she is missing.

The upper grill looks crap and ruins the front end. The rear is just shocking.
Fiesta ST is a much nice looking car. 208 and Clio are a little bland, the new MINI is just all air intakes. The new Polo GTi isn't too bad actually.

looks like the bonnet vent bit is needing nightrider style lights in it. perhaps that was an optional extra steve and his mum couldnt afford though.
