Does this bother anyone? Sometimes I feel like it questions my masculinity, but then the car fits my needs perfectly so don't want to get rid of it.

Is this similar to an early mid life crisis?!

Yes and no. Its a second car so in that respect it doesn't trouble me, although when police pull me over for no reason it confuses then that in not 17

I'm 24, don't have a corsa at the minute but I have had 4 and will probably buy another in the future.

They're simple cars, mechanically, cheap as chips for parts, they're pleasing on the eye, nothing wrong with it. It's all good unless your car is modified in a way that it looks like Ali G's, then that's terrible at 30.

I think 25yrs old is the maximum. Any older and people do think strangely of you.

Corsa B is quite near the bottom of the car ladder these days. What else can you compare them with? Old saxos? Pug 306?

I'm 31 and couldnt drive a small car everyday. I'll never sell my Corsa but when it's on the road it would do my head in if I used it everyday.
I couldnt give a toss what people say or think when I am driving it as I (not them) enjoy the car. Its just too small, hard/bumpy and bloody uncomfy but lots of fun

I'm almost 31 and drive a modified 206 GTi. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Am considering a Scooby next year though.

My neighbour had a hideous modified MG ZR and he's about 50.

He actually spent the time to put racing stripes and all kinds of terrible stickers all over it as well. I just say he's having a mid life crisis, he's bought a MG F now....He also had a motorbike for 2 months not long ago

Mines a yaris not a corsa but still a small car, that i've done a few bits to but nothing major, (lowered and different wheels) but that could be me justifying it! I did intially get it as my missus was moaning that the 306 was too big, but now she has her own yaris! It's also gold so my mate once labelled it Jimmy Savilles coffin.

Alot of daddy issues are going to come out in this thread, people not comfortable with their social standing so must use objects to safely position themselves in their local estates pecking order.

Whatever next, kids?

Yeah its all status related and what not, not denying that.

Then again I continue to drive it and probably will do anyway, just every now and again when I think fuck i'm nearly 30 maybe I should conform more.

Got any pics? How about some new wheels? Got to be careful you don't start looking like a drug dealer though!
