Me, too. I'm six-one and weigh slightly less than fourteen stone. I find there is plenty of head, leg, and elbow room..... :y :y

Not sure if the 1.2 has a chain or belt but the chain is the biggest killer of Corsas, usually they give plenty of warning though!

Thats a cracking price! I sold an 03 1.0 club with 65k for £1800 a few months ago


 I believe it has a chain. If so, will it need replacing every 40,000 miles. Does anyone know?

Its a chain and if serviced well (sadly Corsa's rarely are) they last the life of the car. If not the start to rattle and are not to bad to change (a few hours and about £100 in bits)

I would have thought that £24 was an "across the board" price from any VX dealer, Webby. Sixty notes sounds a bit steep. :-\ :-\

Car passes seem to start at £15 and have no upper limit!
