Try again shall we, sorry to those of u that replied decently. We will try again.

Why do u like your corsa? Why do u modify it, why not another car, a Saxo, or a Fiesta, or Punto etc??

I love the way my car drives. its not great, but its damn fun. Most cars are smoth, relaxed, not much of driving experience. Having no PAS means i can feel exactly what the car is doing and even have a little play when it comes to handling.

Also

I love the looks. When you compare it to say a Fiesta (1.25, 1.6 zetec ones), the shape can have a lot done to it. There are a few HIGHLY modded corsas, some witht eh same kits, yet look totally different. Fiestas, well, u can only do so much to them, and they still all look the same.

I love my dash too. I like the look of the dash, my next car needs to have a good dash as thats whats in front of u all the time.

But in all honesty, i wish i could have afforded a Tigra at the time. Much more boot space for an install, more areodynamic, faster because of that, and no-where near as modified as corsas are. Theres a lot of potential for Tigras!!

Also, at the time when i bought D4, there were no other really sporty hot hatches that tickled my fancy. Plus teh corsa was purple, and with 90bhp, wasn't too bad for my first own car.

What are everyone elses reasons for owning your cars. And why do u like them?

I like my Astra because it is bigger than my old Corsa, faster, and I don't have to put my seat all the way back to drive it!

corsa was the first car we had. lynne choose it cause of the colour. we had it for 18 months before we traded it in for a punto 75. we had that for 10 months before some stupid bitch in a volvo crashed into it when it was parked outside lynnes home. we then got the sporting we have the now. when I got a job I needed a car so I bought the GT although I use the sporting cause it has better mpg

personally i like corsa in general for there tidy looks, most models are fairly nippy for around town, not that bad on petrol, comfy cars,

why i like mine,

most of all its gotta be the pure acceleration, euro stlyed which i love subtle but sweet, very low, handles like a go cart, still very comfy,

thats bout it

I had a Nova beforehand. The Corsa was familiar and I enjoyed the time I spent with the Nova.

The Corsa isn't great - the Sports come with SXi bodykits and less kit than the older GSi's.

They handle badly as standard and are underpowered.

I've not changed it for something else as there's nothing that really interests me that's suitable for my needs.

i can't be arsed to type all that shit again....

basically, needed car, found clean, low mileage corsa, brought it, was gonna sell it in a year, then it broke, spent too much money, needed more money to make it sellable, so i've kept it and gonna "sophisticate" it....big engine, and looking like stoney's.

then gonna keep it for fun car, and buy a nice car that can be left alone and loved..

Joff, got a spare £20,000 then????

Who cares if a cars had its day. Thats not the reason we are trying to perswade him to buy it back As said to us at the weekend, D5 has had its day, been around for ages, but still draws the crowds/looks where-ever it goes, and always will. Just like C13 did/does.

i like corsa's coz they are fairly easy to fix when problems occur. You can make them look quality. Insurance is cheap. Good MPG. And u can make them go fairly quick
