corsa b sxi- owned for about a year and half but only drove it for just a year as i got it before i passed my test

corsa b 1.6 sport- owned for a year had to sell as the insurance went to a stupid amount and didnt want to pay the amount and couldnt find cheaper

mark 4 golf gt tdi - owned for 8 months sold it as i didnt really like it

corsa C 1.8 sri- owned it for 11 months not thinking about selling it yet i am hoping to get a new car in january so that means this corsa will be the longest i have ever drove a car for
