General Comments:
I bought a new car as I previously had an old car that was always in need of repair. This car has been worse. I have been to the dealer about 20 times to get the problems fixed & still some have not been repaired. Luckily enough it is covered under warranty.
It is not that quick for a 1.6 16v especially when compared to the Citroen Saxo VTS. Also the car does not handle well - it is very bouncy. The car has good features inside, but I find the colouring very dark and gloomy. I have now sold it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I own a corsa SXI and I totally agree with these statements. The SXI is a small sporty looking car without the high insurance group, which is good for young drivers. Although the SXI is only a 1.2 the 16 valves give it that little bit of extra poke, and from which produces 65BHP as the old 1.4 8v only produces 60BHP, which is surprisingly good as its in a lower insurance group.
