Title: Just watched a review about corsa e
Post by: STEMO on 12 December 2019, 17:56:25
The fat bint on the trader says it's gonna be in direct competition to Peugeot's e308. Gotta be the same car, surely?

The prices builders charge I would have thought you'd buy a new Aston or Ferrari every year. :)

Either the Corsa has gotten proper fat, or the stupid bint is too lazy to research properly...  ::)

no different to the old one being a direct competitor with the Fiat 500 family with which it shared a lot of design/components. And the Ford Ka, but who bought those ;D


VAG does OK with 'separate' brands that are the same car, why shouldn't Peugeot/Opel?

I trust Vauxhall to build a better car than the PSA group. When they bought Vauxhall out, it put Vauxhall firmly into the 'appliance' car category. (Like a washer, when it breaks, you buy a new one, you don't bother to fix it.) In my opinion future Vauxhalls will drop in quality.

Small Vauxhalls have been a throwaway commodity for some time now. The adam and the viva to mention the most obvious two.

GM era(since 1925 remember) Vauxhalls have always been throwaway commodities. As are were all their mass-market competitors like Ford, Austin, Renault etc.

Don't like any of the small cars on offer from Vauxhall, drive a friend's Toyota Yaris last week & that would be top of my list for a small runabout.

Yaris is a bit grim, though for some strange reason I quite like driving the Aygo - though that's too small to be practical.

You're all wrong ...... Smart Fortwo is THE small car runabout!  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

and the Roadster for playing in if it's not raining!  ;) ;)

Every poor sod I know who has had a FourTwo has also regretted taking that in the rain, at £600 for each body module ;D

The Fortwos are generally water tight ..... I've certainly not had any water ingress problems. The Roadster has a reputation for letting in water and one of the places is right above the SAM (which is about £600 fitted & programmed)

and it's Fortwo ie for two people as apposed to the Forfour for four people  ;) ;)

My mate with the V8 MGB GT has an Aygo as his daily driver bought it new 4 years ago and it hasn't missed  a beat & costs peanuts to run  & maintain, another friend has had smart cars & has had problems galore now has a Mini Countryman.

Soz with spelling mistake. Mr Jobs must have renamed it, or I had fat fingers ;D

Yes, its the 2 seater original, now call ForTwo.  I know of probably half a dozen that have had water ingress into a module.  I was then racking my brains if I knew anyone with a roadster, and remembered I did - so I gave him a quick test last night to see about both going into the office next week, and asked him about his.  Yeah, he had 2 SAMs fitted, and since sold the car due to that ;D
