I want another Corsa. Love my VTS but I just don't love it enough to spend much more money on it so I'm considering getting another Corsa. I want a LET for sure but having a few problems with insurance. I'm more than likely going to buy a ready built one as I dont have time to build one myself.
Any advice on them ie: problems, insurance etc. welcomed.

Is it not a better idea to wait until the insurance can be sorted?

French car suck bar mine
nah in general im not keen on them tbh, i just like these ones really and R5 tubbys and a few other selections.
i had 3 corsas great car, easy to work on just handling was questionable unless you make a good invetement, i wouldnt mine a LET but i think id have a nova then tbh.
ive had 3 corsas 1.4 sport, Gsi and xe go back to them there good lil cars, why not just get an xe on TB?

Yeh I have considered others. Was looking at Ibiza Cupra's amoungst others but I just love the suprise factor of LET corsa's a mate has one and its breathtakingly fast. I want an Escort Cossie but £1800 to insure

that would be worth it, they have less surpising factor as they get more common thats the problem

I miss mine everyday, mental mental cars. Forget what everyone says about handling etc, as they are correct they dont.
BUT
Its soooooo much fun, and afterall isnt that whats important when owning a car?

LET corsas are fun, suprise factor is good
can be big money pots though, insurance shouldn't be too bad if you've payed VTS prices
