Well the Corsa D 1.2 limited edition had to go in the end, great little car but just too small. Owned it for 6 months and traded it in for £1 less than we paid for it Result. We went with the intention of trading it for an Astra SRI but saw this and the drive was really good, perfect for work commute and family holidays. Also allows for a little project on the side which i am saving for as im after a Corsa C Turbo.
Vaux Insignia 1.8, came with 19" Fox wheels which im undecided about but ill live with them for the moment as they have excellent tyres on. Thinking about changing them in due course for some vxr ones or similar. Love the colour tho and so much more comfortable than the corsa
Opinions welcome, especially on wheels as im not sure whether they suit t or not

Wheels don't suit it. I quite like the Insignia not best looking car but comfy and quite nice to drive. Have a few SRi Nav's in our fleet'.

The insignia doesn't suit the tiny spoked wheels. Needs chunky alloys.
Nice cars though.

Wheels wouldn't look as bad if it was lower... Id use those tyres on new wheels and sell those

1.8 petrol  been having a look at these but even the Sri nav looks a bit standard. There's some pack that makes them look good.
Get rid of the wheels ASAP. Could just be th light but that back door looks a bit suspect.

Yeah the more i look at that pic, the more the wheels look so wrong. The door is fine, the only repair thats been done was to front bumper which shows up close up, otherwise is in very good condition. Need to find some nice 19" wheels to use the tyres with now. John the 1.8 petrol is a massive improvement for us from the 1.2 petrol but ideally we would have gone for the diesel but this came up at a deal to good to turn down. It does 15 miles a day so suits our needs fine

15 miles a day wouldn't justify the diesel. Ojc will have loads of ideas for you.

Nod, that was our thought exactly, we just wouldnt benefit from the diesel and given the deal offered with the part ex for the corsa, we snapped it up there and then. Just struggling to find wheels that will suit it. Not many 19" vxr replicas about, if any.
