Hi, my name is Josh, im new to this forum and look forward to using it.
I most probably want to buy a used Corsa. It would have to be either be a 1.4 Exclusiv or 1.4 SRI. I am finding it hard to decide between the two. I like the leather seats of the exclusiv but the alloys on the SRI etc.. (There are different bits). Also the Exclusiv is more expensive.. (I believe)
I am looking for a 54 reg and above. I was hoping if anyone could tell me which they would recommend and why. Also what price I should expect to pay for a good condition car and if they know of any..
Thanks
Josh

I would go for the Exclusiv if you can afford it. Lovely cars and have all the kit on them as standard.
The Exclusiv alloys are nice! Prefer them to the normal SRi ones myself!

I would get an exclusiv, the engine is exactly the same and you still have all th good features of the SRi...
As for cost I am not to sure, I guess they would be arond 6K?
If you are after pics of a modded Corsa C, see my garage 
Oh and welcome to the forum

And I wouldn't modify an Exclusiv either. Nice as they are straight out the box.

jeeze.. this forum is quick replying. Thanks for your help. Keep them coming..
As for modding, its not really my thing. I kind of like the shotgun exhaust but a 'boy racer' look isnt my sort of thing. I do however think the SRI alloys is nicer..
Oh, and as for the reason why I want a 54 reg or above..... - I need to fit my personalized plate!

Go for the exclusive mate - can always pick up a set of SRI alloys if you see some cheap - think there were some for sale on here last week

do you not think it looks a little boy racey? Also, the alloys are pretty dull, the SRI ones look better..
