Look what I have to drive for a few days

**pacarcher** · 6th June 2006, 16:28

A Corsa SXI+ 1.2 Twinport

It looks quite nice, it's got half leather seats, a perky engine - up to about 30mph anyway, and a CD player.
As it's one of the warmer days of the year so far, I looked for the AC button. I looked high and low, and finally..............came to the conclusion it's not got air con

Only had it for a few hours and can't wait to get the vectra back!!

I had one of them as a courtesy car once. Not too bad a car I suppose but nowhere near in the same league as the Vectra. But then the Vectra is double the price nearly!!!

I got a silver 1.2 sxi 3 door in aug 2004 while my C was in, it had only got 900miles on the clock was new that year. I went from Suffolk (where i live) down to Brixham Devon in it, and on the motorways it felt unstable, bouncy and the engine screamed like a cat at 4000 revs! My old man had a 1.4 Renault Kangoo loaded to the kilt and he still burnt me off up the hills of devon! A totally disappointing result need to say i was glad to get my Vectra back!

You wouldn't have said that Paul if you had that purple one at the Pod lol.

My god that thing could shift. 1/4 mile in just over 12 secs

terminal of >140mph

It still has the LS badges on

Classic

I've got pics of it somewhere, I'll put them on later.

Mind you it isn't very practical, it only has one seat, & bu99er all else inside the car at all.
