petrol and tax and the extra 400 insurance, and i would boot it all the time what 18year old lad wouldnt, i am hoping to grow out of that stage when i get a new car or mine on the road though, parts are cripplingly expensive

has anyone ever thought that maybe the reliability may be down to poor maintainance?
every car will fall to bits if its not looked after.
in my opinion and i dont have either cars id go for the C , esp if you can get an sri.
I have drove both -although the SRI was the 1.8 and its a nice car to drive.
I prefer the looks both inside and outside of the C.
Vauxhalls build quality is definatly better than Citroen

god there are some idiots on this forum....
well my mates dads brothers co worker once had a VTR and said it was crap.. therefore all citroens are crap...
i had my VTR for 6 months nothing went wrong with it, 80,000 miles and i absoloutely run it ragged and it never missed a beat... now i have a Corsa GSI thats done less miles and is running on 3 cylinders... but im not gonna say all corsas are unreliable heaps of shite... all cars are different and the car will go well if its looked after and treated correctly so please can people stop saying citroen, peugeot renault are unreliable because corsas leave a LOT to be desired..... thank you and good night..

They are group 9 and he would get assholed at 18
