im looking for a new car, ive got around £5000 to play with but i really dont know what i fancy.. ive only ever had corsa's..
so far ive looked at vw bora's, saxo vtr/s's (mk1), corsa c's, toyota yaris tsport's
From the list the bora is looking the most appealing but i could prbably only insure a diesel.. anyone have any experience with these??
Thanks
Andrew

should probably have said.. i cant really insure anything above the vts range, so no corsa turbo hence the bora would probably be diesel and a bit more "sensible"
on one hand i kinda just want to fix and xe my corsa but im just a bit fed up of the boy racer image

Drive a Bora. Drive a Corsa C.
Then laugh that you even thought about comparing them

bora's are a bit of a boring drive though, even if you did add some fancy bits "its still a barge"
the corsa C maybe not as good in build quility, which between the brands is quite ovious !
but the C is for a younger driver, bit more fun too

i disagree, i would say the corsa c is equally as boring drive as the bora, and hes probably at the age where he does want a more mature car anyway
