why would i want to buy brand new car and then have to pay for engine transplant- gonna go for the cooper
went to see them today and was well impressed by what you get for your money- only ann extra grand for sports suspension of the cooper s, tinted windows and half leather interier- and group 8 insurance
probably gonna get all black with white alloys- and get it booked in at powerflow the day i get it for custom exhaust

The new Corsa Gsi will poss be in the same bracket as the Zafira Gsi which is 14A I got quoted £800 for the Zafira Gsi with L/V not bad so this is my next car then for easy money will be putting phase 1 straight on then getting some 17" omega wheels

YES!!! Get the six speed version. Really close gear ratios make it very quick. Plus 17's will go straight on. I'd totally go for this!!

no nath im definately going for the cooper- test drove one today and really like it- return for your money is excellent and there are loads of tuning options out there
getting it in black with black roof and 17" white mini alloys- cant feckin wait- never had a new car before
felt so much quicker than my 1.2 corsa and the sports suspension plus seemed pretty sweet as well
