I got a 2.0i Honda Accord (no taxi jokes) - pure luxury to drive but expensive to run.
It may be worth bearing in mind with soaring petrol prices.
I'd go for the Corsa - they rock.

mite go for the 1.8 16v sri then as it wont be as much of a fuel guzzler as the 2.0 16v and ive heard that it is .5 of a second quicker to 60 than the 2.0 16v sri as it has shorter ratio gearbox. atleast thats what everyone argues about on the astra-sport.co.uk website and the stats in the back of total vauxhall also suggest this. that way i would have the cheaper to run but faster car with a lower insurance group becuase im never gonna be having the top end speed out of it realisticly. cheers for any advice peeps..
