[Corsa_15]

[ka$h]

Mines a comfort, but not that you'd tell looking at it now

[Corsa_15]

what was your insurance figures? (age etc.)

how much u paying??

[MediaManiac]

[Corsa_15]

cheers m8

Listen dont buy a 1.0ltr corsa its absolutly crap and the insurance get it put on yor mothers this will bring it down loads.

[ka$h]

There's nowt wrong with 1L's !!!

They are cheap economical, and look equally as good as an SRi or better with a little bit of attention!

[MediaManiac]

Cue all one litre owners......

[MediaManiac]

See, even before I had the chance! :lol:

[ka$h]

:lol: You knew what was coming though didn't you?

[wainietoff20]

They may be cheap but the seats dont hold you when you throw the car about like in the sxi and the 1.0ltr rolls like hell....
Plus its only a three cylinder no good for going fast or racing.

[wainietoff20]

hahahaha
Nice one. There still crap.

[Corsa_15]

im more interested in show rather than go.

are the body shapes the same as the sxi's etc.

Er yes!

"Plus its only a three cylinder no good for going fast or racing." :lol: Neither is a 1.2 or a 1.4!

[Corsa_15]

just wondering cuz a saxo vtr-s is a different body shape to a 1.1 or 1.0, and therefore only fits bodykits made for that exact model.

[wainietoff20]

:twisted: Of course the 1.2 would go if it was bored to a 1.4 then turbo'd or even Nos

[wainietoff20]

The basic corsa and the corsa sxi have the same bodybumpers depending if its before 03 or after.

[Scandalous]

I had a 1.0l corsa c life, was fine, had it for 2 years from 17-19, nothing wrong with it, altho my SRi is alot quicker. U cant wrong with a 1.0l as a first car as there cheap, economical and insurance friendly. I was paying £1300 when I was 17 with pass plus with Norwich union, theres a guide price 4 ya mate

[ka$h]

Not all comforts are 1L either, which is the question originally asked.

15, have a look at 'The Ka$h Kart' in the my cars section. It's a 1L comfort, but it don't look it :wink:

[wainietoff20]

fair doos i have just had one thats all.
go for it m8 get the 1L

[ka$h]

Admittedly, they suck more than a Dyson on performance, but look just as good when done up. Also the cost benefits of running are good as well, especially if you are starting out :D

[corsalee]

wots wrong with 1l they are so cheap to run and i hav no problems with them as mine is a 1l... but only a club (base model) but iam worknig on it to change the look

[Corsa_15]

hey KA$H you gunna do any more exterior modding? i.e bodykits etc.?

how long you had your car?

[ka$h]

Not a lot more outside, I'm happy with it the way it is, read my sig for more mods, I've had it from new 3 years past Feb.

[Corsa_15]

did you put it on parents insurance when you first got it? what were you paying?

[ka$h]

I wrote my old car off and was punished by insurance. They tried to up my premium from £657 to £1664 on a 1.6 Astra, so I told them to stuff it and I bought a new car. I got the 1st year free from Vaux, then it was £360 for the second and £250 for the third

I'm older than most on here, so it was all on my own mate!

[MediaManiac]

:lol: :lol: :lol: He must think you're just a kid! :lol: :lol: :lol: (shutup before you start :x :wink: )

[ka$h]

I never said a word mate :lol:

[Corsa_15]

how old r u? i didnt mean just ur corsa i meant ur first car aswell.

[ka$h]

I'm 29 mate, and My first car cost me £600 to insure. It was a 1990 1.4 Astra Mk2, bought it about 10 year ago!

[Corsa_15]

oh right thought u were younger, how come u went down in engine size? couldnt u afford to go up?

[ka$h]

As I said Earlier ^^^^^

I went from 1.4 Astra to 1.6 Rover 400 to 1.6 Astra to 1.0 Corsa! All in the name of saving some ka$h

[Corsa_15]

oh rite yea ok.

i think im guna go for a comfort, what colours it come in? i herd they only come in certain colours?

[ka$h]

They don't make em any more, and I can't remember what colours they did come in, apart from Breeze Blue (Mine) I think white came with a red interior, and they did at least one other, cos they did a grey interior as well

[Corsa_15]

whats the smallest engined corsa i can buy now? and what colours?

[ka$h]

You can still buy 1L, but not the comfort model.
