New car?

[corsaZ22se]

As I've now got rid of the Corsa B, 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?
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

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Tax is 500 a year I believe.

 

[corsaZ22se]

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!

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

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.
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
B207R corsa C tuned a bit would leave it behind but its not all about speed, still a lot of car for the money.

last time I did it was so high you guys hung up when I told you I was with flux! £400 with flux and you quoted £2800!
got a quote today to swap from the heavily modded corsa b to a vxr8, £868/year

 

[vocky]

just wish my vx would sound as nice as the V8 fitted to them

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

if I have time I might, could do with a laugh again!

 

[Tim@Prestige]

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