Just as nice..................no comparison lol

We paid £15k for our corsa with 18's, metalic and climate almost 4 years ago, it now has 22k miles on the clock and not used often, I have just found our glove box lid falling off and we don't use it lol and the front bumper right hand side is held in by windscreen silicon as the top clip even after replacing wouldn't hold the bumper in place and kept popping out lol....I really wouldn't pay over £23 grand with a couple of options for that type of build quality, lucky we haven't had all the engine issues like others ; )

Still a fun little car but I wouldn't buy another.......
