you know me mate, i say go for it  
but if your in debt already then dont bother mate, go get yourself a nice alpine/pioneer unit for around the 300 quid mark  Then if you want a screen, get one added on in the vents or something
purple - a KA isnt much better either mate, atleast my doors sounds relativly solid and dont cause the whole car to sound like its falling apart

Why are they shite? I drive a mercedes C240 elegance everyday its faster than my corsa has more toys. But its fucking shite?
at the end of the day its piss cheap, looks different, handles well, is no bigger than its needed to be, is comfortable, reliable and as of sunday faster than most things out there? Plus if it should go worng its cheap to replace most things? I feel your comment is invalid.
I would also like to remind you that if you dont personally like a car then its never going to be good! IMO i like my car, thats why ive had it 4 years and dont planm on selling

IMO corsas are shite. as i said to dom, sorry if i offended you. i thought the majority of corsas were the same, mine doesnt handle well, and also isnt comfy. I feel my comment is valid, as its my opinion.

Nice one sherlock 
I have a corsa as i moved job and was travelling an extra couple of hundred miles a week and the ka was found to be a cut and shut, the corsa was going cheap for its age so i went for it and regretted it.

oh and that makes a big difference does it
no offense but proper checks would have revealed a cut and shut.. as for the Corsa handling might not be up to the scratch of some cars but it sure as hell aint Shite and it sure as hell is better than A FORD!!!
and Jambo.. Put half your money towards your head unit half towards your debt.. that way your keeping your debt controlled and some money aside for the headunit

It obviously does in my case. checks would have made a big difference, yes, but im not used to buying cars and this was bought privately. to be fair in MY opinion the kas handling was a lot better than the corsa. but that is my opinion, as ive mentioned before, but some people, yourself included, take the internet too seriously and get quite emotive over their cars. they are corsas, not the best cars in the world, and never will be. sorry im not as 'in love' with my car as you.
