LOL !

Oh dear, give it time. The rattles will come :(

I've got a reasonably decent sound system which has shock a few nuts and bolts loose I think :( (Im not the only one). The cure to this is to turn it up even more :D

Hmmmmm . . . OK, the ergonomics in the Corsa are horrendous, and the interior plastics are  :sick:, but in terms of 'mechanical' build quality, Corsas, just like all Vauxhalls, are pretty good.  OK, they don't use laser welding like all VW Group cars now do, but they have very strong bodyshells - unlike say a similar F0rd!

LOL, you 'saw the light' further down the thread!  :grin:

but the corsa was a great first car and im lucky to be upgrading to the gti

Can't argue with that.  I honestly reckon the Corsa is a better car than a similar-spec Polo.  :lipsrsealed:

Good luck - you'll love it!!

But be careful eh? It's a tad of a step up from a Corsa (not trying to be condescending  - just  looking out for a fellow GTi'er!!!)

Look for any dog related damage before handing over many thousands of pounds.
