hey people, I just bought my first opel, its a 2002 1.8 SRi. My old car was a 94 SAAB 900s 2.0t which was developing all sorts of issues.. I'm really enjoying the SRi even though i feel like a bit of a girl driving it..

Welcome to the site mate. And as for being a girls car, there are quite a few on here that would put "man cars" to shame ;)

...If ithe barina's looked upon as a girly car, i'd happily put on a dress and high heels to have a drive of Mr Corsa's machine.

But it's definately not gonna be a good look from the outside! :D

Hi and welcome

I've come from one and can assure you they're a fun car :)

Few small mods... tinted windows... debadging... Rear sway bar, can really help to transform the way it looks and drives

I doubt you could operate a machine like that whilst wearing high heels. From my experience, for dimension splitting speed youre best to put on some pants. lolol

RE: being called a girl car, you can call ANYTHING a girl car if you tried hard enough.

A commodore is a girl car because its like a wonderbra - makes you look bigger.

welcome to OA....lol girls car...really what is a girls car..a guy has the right to drive n e car (i dont think they are that girly since all the corsa owers i know are males)...u see girls out there driving a 'guys car' so really in my view there is no such thing...so yeah the guys on here are right no big deal...

hope to see a thread in the members cars section and looking forward to see more pics and ur future mods that u have planned:D
