Hello i'm new to these boards.

I am planning on buying a corsa b Sxi in the new year.

hello, just generally look round the car bodywork etc, check wheels tyres. Check inside look @ the seats and steering wheel and see if their quality reflects the mileage.

Hey Rachel, welcome to the site - I own a Corsa B Sxi, Where abouts in berks do you live?

I live around slough / maidenhead / windsor way (I say that because basically I live in between them)

ignore the above just saw the ollie told me to... so I take that as reading

I think Silver is cool - but black is good too, Red's a bit shabby imo especially on the corsa B's and it'll fade pretty fast.

Just make sure the Sxi hasn't been ragged to death - a lot of sxi's are bought by people like me who can't afford to insure a fast car, but want something pretty nippy to go around in and well it gets thrashed...

I had a brand new Black SXi a few years ago, well nice car, v hard to keep clean tho, especially in the winter time with all the crap on the roads, but looked sweet in the summer when all polished up and shiny, pretty nippy for a 1.2 as well
