New car?

corsaZ22se

As I've now got rid of the Corsa B, :cry: I've been looking for a replacement Corsa C but came across one of these's...........................

its at a local dealer, 2007 model, 41k swr exhaust and tune £16995. tempted but unsure what it will be like to live with as a weekend/family toy?:confused:
anyone had any experience of them?

flatbeat

That's one nice toy
Just would not like to thing of the fuel bill never mind the tax

David_Dixon

Nice! get the supercharger for it :ROFLMAO:

Dave_Gilbert

Tax is 500 a year I believe.

if I did get it I would most likely end up at swr for some goodies as they are just down the road on a customers farm 🙂
£500 tax and 18mpg. good for vpower points! :LOL:

vocky

they are a bit slow, my vx pulled away from one :eek:

However the sound is awesome 😃

Dave_Gilbert

if your corsa pulls away from them you dont want 1, you will only want to make it faster hahaha

My friend had a Zafira VXR running about 310bhp, and he swapped it for a VXR8, and the VXR8 is actually better on fuel!

well I measured the gate way tonight and it will fit on the drive, 🙂
going to call for insurance quote tomorrow.:eek:
don't think I could keep it standard for long, this one is a little under powered as its the early model. needs forced induction :LOL:
B207R corsa C tuned a bit would leave it behind but its not all about speed, still a lot of car for the money.

Sorry to hear that. We changed the staffing to try & streamline even more but it didn't work & encountered customer service occasionally which you mention. We changed it to be a more personal, better service with the staff & this seems to be working well. In fact I've had lots of positive feedback since it happened 🙂

Please give us a call next time & post up the results 🙂

Think you'll find this time will be different. We aren't getting all this feedback for nothing 😉
