Nothing wrong with Vauxhalls at all , only the PH nobs will tell you different.

Insurance has always been a problem for 17 yr olds...myinsurance cost me TWICE the price of my first car. !! But the car only cost £35...happy days.

P.S Don't put any stupid MODS on it or I will track you down and feed you mushroom soup.

Thank you for your Vauxhall kindness it will be staying completely standard, so no mushroom soup for
me ;D it is already cleaner than when I picked it up from the dealer!

More than 2,500?! wow that's pretty nasty, the only upside is that it will eventually come down, just rack up the no claims and it'll be down to a reasonable amount in no time at all with 4 years no claims now mines down to a far more reasonable 400

I had a corsa for my first car. Two generations older though. Insurance cost me £1600 in 2006. Quickly came down. Still a lot though.

Should be a good car for you to begin with! Stay safe.

Should of gone with a beetle/mini/something interesting and spent the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pounds you would have saved on insurance elsewhere/making any repairs you might need or want to do.
But now you get to drive something warm and dry which I suppose is a bonus, however tedious driving a corsa may be.

Wow. Did someone piss on your chips as a child? It's his first car - and a nice one at that - so let him enjoy it!

Genuinely didn't mean that to come across so crass.
Itcis a nice car and will serve him well.
