...for the girlfriend.
Seen as some bell end decided to do a hit and run on us a couple of week back, her KA has been written off, police are as much use as a chocolate fire gaurd, so shes had to claim off her own insurance, lose her 1st years NCB she just got last month and pay £350 excess. Nice.
Anyways shes got around £1500ish for a new car possibly stretch to £1600/£1650, and shes fussy 
PH2 Clio no more than 1.2 (Must be black)
Corsa C no more than 1.2 (Must be black or that really pale met green)
I keep finding a fair few of the green Corsa's, but a lot of them are 12v's. Are they really that bad? Im trying to find her a 1.2 Comfort/SXi etc.
Shes not into fast cars or modyfying etc. So any model really, what do you suggest. Reckon a 12v will be ok?

I know, she did this the first time when she got the KA I told her not to, but she wanted it lol.
I said a Fiesta Zetec 1.25, but she doesnt like the shape, would want the newer shape but for the price, she aint gettin one.

I wouldnt personally get a 12v, maybe its just me but I hate the noise of the engine although if you can find one with low milage it could be a good shout. I would go for the 1.2 Comfort, Sxi is probably going to cost more.

Should be her choice at the end of the day, my sister wanted a KA and I wasn't too keen, rust, horrible old engine, known not to be safe but she wanted one so she got one.

true information right there.
tbf, lassies get cheap insurance anyway because they seemingly drive slower. get a nice clean corsa sport.
