Hot Mega said:I did question the filling up every 2 weeks part as most people drive their cars to other places than just work.
hotrod808 said:yeah but even then there are better cars out there than an opel corsa. how about an ford fiesta sport. 14000€ and not really much cost afterwards. plus youve got a car that doesnt look and drive like crap
The savings is just the daily drive to and from work.
There's always a better car and altho I like a Ford Fiesta sport it isn't worth 14000€ to me. I will also admit a Fiesta sport handles better but our Corsa also handles very well. Maybe you just had bad luck with the 2 you drove :dunno: Apart from that, I like the way it looks. In my opinion it looks better than a Ford Fiesta sport wich I think is an ugly car altho it handles very well. This just proves opinions are like assholes, everybody has one :1orglaugh
It does 17-18 km on one litre of gas, that's not lame
Americans only have gross motor skills. That's why they drive big cars (with auto transmission) on wide streets...
It's European hp. That's about 150 US hp.
Pssst...if nobody says anything Legz is going believe that!
Automatic transmiddion! = boring!
I just bought another car myself that's more economical on gas.A 1.6 liter 4 banger.
It's clean inside and out,not a ton of mile on it,bought it fairly cheap,and is a stick.Couldn't have asked for anything more.
Going for a more economical car these days is a wise choice,so I totally approve of the OP's decision.
Thats the same as 10 - 11 miles per roughly quarter gallon so...roughly 40+ miles to the gallon! (I can't comprehend metric so I convert) Damn, guess that is pretty good! Um ever consider a gasoline/electric hybrid? Dunno if they have them over there, but they get even better gas mileage! The gasoline engine acts mainly to recharge the electric motor. Honestly I wouldn't mind having one of those myself.
No I won't. And I'll have you know I can drive manual transmission just fine. They are hard to find over here though. So a motorcycle is the next best thing for manual shifting. Also used to work on cars for a living. But nice try! :thefinger

With the price of gas being so high these days my wife and I decided to sell our 2 cars and replace it with a smaller one with better milage. We looked around on various sites and finally we found one that we liked. It's an Opel Corsa from 2004 with only 62000 km on it. The engine itsn't too big, just a 1.2 liter with 75 hp but the car weighs only 910 kg and the gear box has been tuned by Opel to match the engine so it's a quick little car. The handling is great, it has lots of grip and it really goes around corners, you really have to push it before the rear end breaks out.
Yes, I'm a car geek :1orglaugh
It looks like whoever had it took care of it.
