ive just bought one, 12 months mot, 4 months tax, 75k on clock. picked it up for 900. got a few mods on it, full decat with 4-2-1 manifold, biggest air filter you've ever seen and i can't get enough of it. if you're gonna get one make sure you look hard for a good one.

I had this for a year, it rattled a bit but I enjoyed driving it, they are a bit slow though really, they are good enough to have fun in, but by no means "fast" mine had a raceland 4 branch and a BMC CDA

it depends on what corsa you had to determine the difference you feel, i was drivin a 1.0 12v so its fair different to me.

I too have just got 1.
Liking it so far.No creature comforts takes a bit of getting used to.Fun wee cars though.Not blisteringly quick,but fast enough to have some fun and hold its own.
Also they dont seem to have the chavvy image that they did a few years ago.Yes they are still out theyr driven by the younger generation but not what it was like 3-5yrs ago.

Look back a few pages, there's a few threads on them from this week if you can compromise on looks then get a mk1 VTS, you can pick them up for less than 1k.

Saxos are awesome little cars. Obviously go for the VTS if you can.

You sure about a saxo at your age tho? Megan is a bit more mature.
