I haven't had any major probs with it yet, although the mot is being done monday :nervous: .
Yay, Fiats are cool, I got one .. and they drive pretty good.
Only driven my cousin's Corsa hire car once but that was scarey - it was really hard to get a feel for the road in it.
Check the BHP Rating - My car is only a 1.2 but when I looked up the stats it's had more BHP then a vectra 1.6 - italian cars have small engine sizes and high output compared to a lot of other makes. Downside is I think the power is heavyily affected by weight so if you have a lot of people in the car you can really feel the difference if the engine is small.
Fiats aren't bad cars, so long as you're a qualified electrician. If not, you should be prepared for lots of electric work in many cases.
Corsas are quite different cars - there seems to be a consensus on them having a stiff gas pedal, but in time you get used to it's feel as with any car.
My 1.0 12v has more bhp than a 1.2 8v, again an important factor.
Corsas are good, low insurance group cars, and are very reliable in my experience, and that of other corsa drivers i know. As compared to the two Fiats we have (One punto - awful cars in my experience).
I have a punto
You can drive now?! Oh how you've grown
And i've not shut up about driving for the past god knows how long
But why do you lot all like hatchbacks :yuck:
Booked mine in for MOT and service this morning- cars are never cheap!!!
The older one actually has pretty good seating imo - My drivers seat has never caused me discomfort except when i've had it set wrong. They even come with a manual explaining the perfect position for sitting in, and are height adjustable.
Oh, and to the OP: Congratulations on the new car
