Exactly why I wouldn't go down that road....way to much else different and would ned upgrading, alos huge insurance issues with modded vehicles! |

Very sensible. If Mrs DR and I hadn't only just decided it was time to retire the Corsa I may well have been doing the same, I may well still do the same depending on the results of my test drives... |

Re: Welsh People
Red or Black - as long as you are not fussy
Tow bar is nothing to worry about - he only tows a dingy and its a V6. But I know what you are saying.
Just hang in there mate and the right one for you will turn up 
Problem is most people will want to hang on to theirs until after the summer now! |

Fussy, me, never. But if I'm gonna get my dream machine....
So he says....that is just it, you can't necessarily trust what people say, although I agree, it being a V6. Still I don't want an ugly tow bar attached to my baby....
Hmmm, the problem with that is I want to get one before I have to get one...the Corsa has done well so far but I don't know how much longer she will stay reliable....
Or will be adding a premium to the price.... |

Re: Welsh People
What's wrong with a 2 litre? More economical and more available. You could always swap it later for a 3 litre.

very little difference in the fuel economy and it has to be the V6, there is a world of diff between a flat 4 and a V6 engine...anyway, whilst I have Mrs DRs agreement I'm taking it.... |
