My omega's replacement
« on: 08 August 2008, 20:34:50 »
It'll never be the elite, never be as comfy, never be as fast, never be as safe, but most importantly given my circumstances now... never be as costly!! half the insurance costs, even less servicing costs (chain driven 1.2)

i know, chavvy looking, but its costing me about £13 a week to run on fuel, i'm getting 400 miles to £45, easy to park, and perfect for the little journeys i do as a postman:

love it or hate it ;D

Looks wise - Hummmmm  ::)

You say its £45 to 400 miles? With my commute i get 350 miles to £65, so that is quite a saving.

However at the end of the day, its a corsa!!!!  :D

Omega's are soooo comfy! Can see why your switching, but if it was a choice between a mrs and a Omega.....

Omega every time!  ;D

The 1.2 in the Corsa is a great engine, really suits the car and for town driving mixed with some dual carriageway driving they are good.

One of my ex's had one and I was surprised just how well they accelerate (manual box) and how much room there is inside.

Looks great in black!  :y

Nice car Danny , sensible too.
Me thinks we'll all be driving something like it within 5 years.
If I had a short city commute I'd have one ,          
( I'd still keep my Omega though....'cause it's worthless over here.)
Good luck with it. :y

Not a nice experiance driving a Corsa for me... BSM had the budget ones, so no column adjustment, i was forever bashing my knee's  :(

You are right Nick;  I love Corsa's, especially 1.4's in black!

They are great to drive, really nippy around town and can be made to zoom on motorways, although you have to work the gears of course.  I have always found them (one son and my daughter owned a Corsa each; in fact my son still does!) easy to work on with parts relatively cheap. :y :y

Your one in particular Danny seems a great economical buy and if I remember correctly that are rated just 2 on the insurance scales! :y :y
