Buying first car, any oppinions on it?

[luke-p]

Yuhr I'm going to be buying a corsa SXi in september, somewhere around 02-04 reg...

Does anybody have one, or know anyone who has one? And if so what are your opinions of it, what's it like to drive, reliability etc...

Thanks ;]

P.s. - Meant to be 1 p in the opinions in the title

one of my mates has one, its a nice car for him to get around in and quite a nice first car, just really common and horrendously slow.

Corsas are pretty good first cars. What people seem to forget that a decent first car will last you ages, it's best to get one that isn't cheap (for a reason) and falling off the wheels, but one that's decent and of a good age.

Aha yeah I see them everywhere, I'm not too fussed about that tbh, nor the speed x) I'm not really looking to enter any races any time soon :P

Yeah I'm thinking about spending somewhere around £2500-£3000 on it, now I don't think that's cheap but for the car... who knows x) I think that's a fairly decent price to pay for one though and i'd expect it to last atleast a year so I can build up my no claims (HOPEFULLY!) And yeah then sell it off and upgrade to something abit nicer and faster.
