Hi, later today I am going to take over the keys to my first car.

A 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa Limited Edition 2013.

I was thinking about going with the slightly bigger engine, after reading a few things about the lack of power, but after the test drive, it seems completely fine to me.

I will let you know how I find it, and post some pics of it after driving home.

I think they call it the VXR styling pack. Optional extra but i don't know what the cost is.

Ahh can't be much as I'm sure I'm seeing more of these than standard ones recently

Unless I'm just not noticing standard ones anymore

It's the 'Limited Edition' version of the 1.2 that gets the kit. They look really good I reckon, especially in yellow!

Only thing limited about those things is the power haha.

Nice first car though man, they seem to handle fairly well and are a nice car to be in!

Induction kits seem to bring an engine light on in case you were that way inclined.

Welcome to PH. Those photos belong in the "Bad parking" thread.

Haha that was the parking in the Autotrader photo, and thanks for the welcome everyone.

The power isn't too big of a problem, if you put your foot down enough, it moves, and more than enough for what I need from it. It is the VXR styling kit, I wouldn't get insured on a VXR for a reasonable price.

I'll let people know how it goes if people are interested, but with 50 miles on the clock so far, It's going very well.

Just noticed your pictures show 2 words I've never seen side by side and never thought I would do 'St Helens' and 'Lookers'


Cracking looking car smile
