Just got that car and i'm so gassed for it
The OtherStuff how much was it bro
Same got mine today ;)
I have been subbed and watching you for ages, your the one that bought me here looking at Vauxhall Corsa limited editions as the way you enjoy it, the looks and how good the car is to run makes it seem like such a reliable sexy first car
Wow stumbled on the start of The start of the other stuff’s channel, crazy
Same just got mine today!
I've bought my 1.3 diesel limited edition about 5years ago. It was 20k miles and now over 117k miles and still runs fine, never had any major issues with it
I’m 19 and just bought this car for my second one love it you forgot that it also has smoked brake lights and rear privacy glass only on the limited edition by standard
3years owner of a corsa d color edition 1.2 86ps..i quite like it actually..except the large doors but you get used to it.. mileage its pretty good..done over 100k kilometers in jist 3 years..other than that a different clutch and thats it..it helps a lot w gearing
Alloys. Yeah I did that on my clubsport the first week I got it. Angry is an understatement! Can't blame the car for that though!
Just got this as my second car, loving it. Mine has the optional sat nav too which I've never seen on a corsa before.
what car is that?
i've had mine for 2.5 ish years, bought it when i was 17 with 21000 miles, now i'm nearly 20, hitting 52000 miles. Overall I absolutely love my car, and i think the stereotypes around them are ridiculous. I don't agree that revving your car to 6500 rpm destroys your car lol.
Superb looking car!! getting rid of my Nissan juke this year and looking to buy a 1.3 cdti special edition but they are a little harder to find than the 1.2 petrol I think as I've not seen many for sale, hopefully I'll be lucky enough when the time comes to buy one though, nice vid.
Bro are you mad?! The things you don't like about the car are useless facts, The fact you curbed the wheels means you can't park or drive properly, it has nothing to do with the wheels, and the fact it's a 3dr is also irrelevant because you can get a limited edition 5dr so just choose that instead?!
Absolutely love the gear box in mine, can’t see how you are having that issue at all lol
WassellThatAbout it all depends on how it was driven before u got it and how many miles and the condition of the gearbox and clutch like the list of factors goes on. Glad to hear yours is good though
Positively however I believe its a brilliant first car, it handles brilliantly as it has fairly wide tyres for a small car, I spent £30 on an induction kit which meant it sounded amazing for a 1.2 and it just looks like a little hot hatch with some cheap and easy mods
did you have to declare it to insurance?
Just bought this car today love it
TruScottishGuy congrats enjoy it it’s a great car!
Great video! I own one of these myself and agree with the gearbox on it. Mines does not have any issue going into gear but when it does no matter how I manage the clutch the car will always shudder. Can be quite the nuisance but overall amazing little cars
Aiden McGregor indeed it can but agreed that it is a very good car
Done nearly 20k miles this year in my 2009 1.4 Sxi and the only issues were the heater controller and the oil pressure sensor breaking, both of which I fixed myself for £20 or so. Mine had an issue with the gearbox where it didn't like engaging 1st but it seems to have gone so I think there's a knack to it but idk. Love the video tho.
Just bought this car in white and my daughter has one in canary yellow. I was pleased with the car but only two things I would say is my car doesn’t pull away that quickly, I find it a bit sluggish. Secondly, I didn’t realise to after I bought it that I couldn’t connect my phone to it for answering phone calls which isn’t the end of the world but slightly annoying. Overall though, love the car and would recommend it.
Getting one tomorrow with 55,000 miles for £4,500 for first car top condition lovely
I have a 2011 5 door which I payed £5500 for. Gear box is abit shoddy but I only have a real issue with gear one. I’ve curbed the wheels once and I hate myself for it. I’m looking for a repair kit currently. Otherwise it’s a fantastic car and looks incredible, I’ve had many compliments when driving it. Additionally the cruise control is a fantastic feature
you can get a full wheel refurb for about £60
I’m 17 and I’ve Just bought this car for my first one, getting it in a few days, so excited :) good video
James Jefferson if you see this mate. I really want one but I’m 17 and not sure about insurance
@@Minchxr About £1800 without blackbox with its about £1450 but it all depends 👊
Me too bro. I’ve got a red one tho
JJ / What Insurance company ?
Picked up a 2011 Corsa D SRI 1.4 for £2800, I’d say it’s similar to yours but the better version as it has sporty body kit same as yours, 17” black alloys and sports suspension. Also it’s a 1.4 so slightly better performance. I’d say your 62 plate is worth about £3500 these cars tend to not keep value as most are on finance and once that ends then dealers try to sell on cheap.
Great video
I got this in orange with the optional sat nav option for 2.7k! It’s got 90k miles on it
Great video mate, i have my eye one its a 62 plate aswell, but do they have air conditioning as standard.
jibby 45 they do yes
I’m thinking about getting the 1.4 but would you say it’s worth an upgrade from the 1.2? Also, what’s the speed like on your Corsa?
Jack C u got aired
I have this car (in red) I agree with most but not curbed my wheels...yet and I don't see the problems mentioned with the gearbox that said I have been driving for some years now,I usually have 3.0 litres ie a5 v6 quattro and lexus gs300 but my job means I need something more eco
I drove a corsa limited edition and never had a problem with the gear box
Its not a constant issue just sometimes didn't want to change gear.
You people from Uk are so lucky! we don’t use black boxes here in ireland do insurance is like 2000 - 4000
@@jjb4531 not in the south. In the north yes
@@jjb4531 I’ve been told before that they aren’t available in the South, my bad
Also I've bought an identical 62 plate corsa which is 2012 BTW not 2013 and it had only 26,000 miles on it so it was very low mileage and it was £4500 and it has no problems with it at all
Elliot Wild mine was made in January 2013 meaning although it’s a 62 plate it was a 2013 car.
What I don't like about my red one is that i had to sell my 64 reg BMW 535d Touring to fund my mortgage deposit and I bought the Corsa limited. This means I resent it greatly, but I'm struggling to dislike it. Seems like a fun little car and I'm actually not as pissed off as I thought I would be. Absolutely gutless tho, going from 310bhp to like 83 is ludicrous lol
Jimmy2baws yeah it’s a good little car but I would be a bit annoyed if I had to downgrade from a 535d. Still a good car though
@@SupercarSpotter3105 no end of problems with it so far. Bought it from a guy called 'Scally' who picks up cat N/S cars, 'fixes' then flogs them. Got it for a cracking price tho so it's not the end of the world. It needed a brake light, a DRL and 2 wiper blades (were totally wrecked) and I don't know how it passes an MOT the other day with a brake light out... and engine mount is gone, as well as the fact its needing a decent servicing since its been absolutely unloved.
I also had to top it up with a litre of oil just to make it acceptable. So next week it's getting the engine mount done for £85, then it's having 4 spark plugs and a coil pack. Then new air, oil and fuel filters. In the end it's likely to have cost me the guts of £250 on top of the £1800 I paid for it with 67,000 miles on a 2012 61-reg.
Be nice when I've sorted the shit that other lazy bastard couldn't be bothered to.
Hey mate, just ordered a new BMW M140i....
Picking it up mid November, cannot fucking wait!
i have this car just a 2011 so a bit older but i passed my test 2 days ago (im 17) and bought it today. Bought insurance for £1333 with a box (doing 8000 miles a year) with hastings direct, hope this helps anyone lol
Sam Counsell is this the lowest insurance deal for the car and what’s the cons that u would say
£1300 is a joke for a years insurance with a black box, I was £1500 for my first year with a 2012 corsa because I just scrolled down to the first company without a black box, £200 for my freedom was well worth it, also bearing in mind the price you are quoted with a black box isn’t the amount you are guaranteed to pay usually you end up paying more because it goes by diving style and driving pattern and stuff
update so 3 months later smart miles were absolute sweaty don cunts and said they were gonna cancel my policy so i cancelled before they could and got insured with admiral for £100 extra with no blackbox - absolute god send, dont get a black box they're a pain in the arse
I also own this car, do you find that the fact you have to get the most out of each gear to get anywhere (as it does lack power and haste) affects the fuel economy? Don’t get me wrong around town a tank will last you a good few weeks going to work and back and here and there, but i feel like a newer, better built and more efficient car would have better fuel economy even if it had a bigger engine. I’m looking at upgrading to a BMW 116i which has a 1.6 engine and more power, in theory it would use more fuel but i feel like my corsa uses more than it should as it’s a category D and is very jolty through gears
Zondaa I agree they aren’t as good on fuel as I first thought when I got the car. And yes you have to use pretty much all the gear to get the most out of it. But it does only have 83bhp and it’s only a 1.2L engine. But still for a car which is only 6 years old it’s not the best on fuel and the gearbox is not great either. I’ve just recently got a Fiesta Zetec S and that is so much better in fuel and the gearbox is a lot smoother and actually wants to change gear whereas the Corsa you sometimes had to force it into gear. Never driven a BMW but would definitely be a good upgrade if you can get one.
Thanks for the reply and the reassurance bro, hope you enjoy your new Fiesta, great upgrade!
ye found out today on motorway you have to thrash it a bit to overtake, worse when its scotland /cumbria and the fuel will suffer
Six years ago when I was 38 I nearly bought a grey ltd edition on a 14 plate with 7000 miles on the clock, unfortunately it didn’t happen and I ended up with a 1.2 design 5 door, absolutely hated the car, it was ugly and dog slow, one bit of advise though ,put vpower in the car and it will be much more responsive and smoother reving, I had standard Esso in the car when I bought the car and it was flat as a pancake. I see ltd edition corsas about and I wander if I should of gone for one but I’ve got a 2016 Peugeot 208 gtline now with a stage one map and ram air induction kit, she’s putting out 160 bhp and 220 ibft. That’s the biggest problem with the 1.2 ltd edition it’s so slow, if it was the 1.4 turbo u could up the power to your requirements.
It’s a limited addition cuz it has the 1.6 corsa vxr body kit but yet it’s a 1.2 but someone of the the older 2011 sxi have the body kit on the back
Hey I want to bang my music in the car so what should I do I have an iPhone cable and an iPhone XR
Is there an exhaust system that has been put on the car, 8:45 sounds nice. What exhaust is it?
Dany Khan it’s actually the stock exhaust on a cold start up
Help. When you're idling does your engine tick every now and then? I have this car and mine does it when it heats up, i'm not sure if it's something I should get checked out
Iona Macleod mine didn’t tick when idling. Might want to get it looked at just to be safe
It's the timing chain
Year later but that's the engine cooling down completely nornal
Does the limited edition version come with the tinted windows or is that a modification?
rare as rae comes with it
thinking about buying one of these, is the gearbox so bad that I should consider something else or can it be overlooked? and does it have AUX?
Hey, I have the same car ( albeit in yellow ). My gearbox doesn't have this issue. Changes smoothly. It does have an AUX port. It's just in front of the gear stick.
The Gearbox isn't the best of gearboxes but it can be overlooked yes. There is also a AUX port but no USB port.
The gear stick thing is down to inexperience. I've not had a problem with mine.
I own a 2013 Corsa SXI. The first thing I noticed about the car was how smooth the gear box was. I had previously hired a 2013 Chevy Spark. A horrible car to drive. I couldn't get away with its gear box.
@@kevthedynamo Yeah that is one of the strong points of the Corsa.
these doors aren´t heavy at all. trust me i had a corsa d before and now i have an astra j gtc with "bulletproofed" doors and trust me, these ARE heavy :D
MetalTiger88 😂😂😂😂
Nice video, I've also got one of these... and my coil pack went as well haha. must be a common fault!
MFHD I believe it is a fairly common fault with the car. A couple of my mates have had the same issues with them.
i have my test next month, ive saved up 2.5K for a deposit and first year insurance. The second i pass im buying this
JoshCresswell___ my mum has one and shes giving it to me when im 17, ive driven it too and its planted
JoshCresswell___ it’s a great first car
I got a 62 plate limited edition for 2.5k with only 16,000 miles on it. Reason it was cheap was because it had a tiny bump on the front (literally barely noticeable, and I got it fixed within a week for next to nothing) and my dad was good friends with the guy who owned the dealership. Lovely little car and I’m buzzing I got it for such a bargain
I'm legit looking at getting a car like this for my first car, what's your insurance a month?
Venotion x wow you got a really good deal on it then
SMILE IM ONLINE annually it’s 1700 with a black box (sadly) but I’m a 20 year old driver who’s just recently passed his test
@@vntn1259 so what's that a month roughly?
SMILE IM ONLINE be about £200 per month mate cos most insurers make u pay abit more of ur paying monthly compared to one whole payment
Hey, I’ve recently passed and I’m really interested in buying this car... how much would you say my insurance will be (not too bothered about having a black box installed) :)
isy younis do a quote using his number plate and you can find out exactly what it would cost you :)
Dan Lennard cheers bud!
Bit behind on commenting 😅 but does this model have Bluetooth or aux ??
Some do some dont, most LT editions do tho
Try black nail polish to cover scuffs xoxo
Great video! Does it have Bluetooth???
Silimus no I’m not sure if it was an optional extra though
Get some rim blades on ur wheels will cover up the scuffs
Shane Robinson cars sold now but that would have been a good idea had I known
Isn’t it a 2012 year it’s a 62 plate or am I wrong 🤔
Depends when the car was registered 62 is the End of 2012 and the start of 2013 the plates change half way through a year
yeah mines a 60 plate but its 2011
I got mine insurance for 1200 with a black box. Exact same car but mines a 2014
Morgan Williams how old are you mate?
There are times where ive been with my mum in this car and she has to pick up my granny who cant get in the back cos of her legs and i have to get in the back and im over 6ft so i understand the feeling
BrittDoezVlogz02 HD 😂 well lucky for me I never had to sit in the back I was always the one driving
SupercarSpotter3105 I only have 1 year left now till i can drive😂😂
I can buy this car (30k miles, 2013 version, great condition) for £4500. Is this a good deal or could I aim for lower?
brad ryan I would say that’s a good deal. As long as it’s got all the previous service records and ur happy with the condition of the cars paintwork, wheels and Interior then £4500 seems like a very good price. If u can get it checked out to see if there any mechanical issues but if not then take it for a test drive and see how it feels and then make ur mind up from there
SupercarSpotter3105 I’m buying from a friend & paintwork, wheels etc is good condition. He has full service history also, so I’m hopefully going to purchase it within the next 2 months. Thanks 🤙🏻
brad ryan sounds good hope u enjoy the car 👍🏼
seating position is too high even when at lowest adjustment cant get 100% comfy in it feels like sitting on it not in it accelerator pedal needs to be placed back a few inches too iam not too tall 5' 11"
gruppenfuhrer ahh see I’m only 5’ 6” so I didn’t have this problem. But I can imagine for the taller person this would be an issue
what’s the miles per gallon like on this car?
50 mpg around town and 57.6 on a long run.
Hi bro I’m thinking to buy this car on finance as I don’t have £4,5k now
What you think about getting on finance ?
Is a good idea or bad ?
Don’t do it, your better if saving
Salma Mohammed it will take ages to get £5k 😂 I wanna start driving as soon I pass my test
My insurance was 1100 with a blackbox as a first car. not over 1500
timoe mine was over 1500, it does also depend on where ur car is kept over night, how many additional drivers you have on the car etc.
@@SupercarSpotter3105 got this as my first car(62 plate limited edition) last may and my insurance was £1400 with no black box, but that was part provisional license, this year when i had to renew it was £1600 no box with 1 year ncb, although now I've sold it and I have a corsa VXR and the insurance is 2600 no box, well worth the upgrade.
Crellin nice, was looking at getting the VXR after my Limited Edition but decided against it because I got a very good deal on my Fiesta Zetec S. And also like you have stated insurance on a VXR is quite a lot.
My first car is £1,240 no black box
Crellin what insurance company is that with?
Hey man. What would be the average price for this car??
Mohamed Habibi anywhere from 4.5-6k
SupercarSpotter3105 insurance ??
WARDIE if I’m completely honest I can’t remember how much insurance was on this car. As it was my first car I know it was higher than it would be for someone who has been driving for a few years but I can’t remember exactly what it was.
what size engine?
furqan 1.2L
thanks m8
What exhaust have you put on it?
Alex Lewis-Booth it’s actually the stock exhaust which is on the car surprisingly
Got one of these & got bored within a week. A45 AMG Soon Land! Lol
The only thing wrong with the car is there’s no temperature gauge.
what mileage did the coil pack , pack in
gruppenfuhrer not sure exactly but I’ve worked it out to be around 25,000 miles.
@@SupercarSpotter3105 , my car is getting a hesitation during idle and a slight judder now in second gear acceleration done 29000 miles, joke, had a civic before done 50,000 miles with it had almost 150,000 on clock and never changed the plugs nothing only oil changes and never had a problem with engine
gruppenfuhrer I would get it looked at then to see if there is any issues or not. The coil pack is the most common fault with the car, it goes on nearly every Corsa from that era. It’s very inexpensive tho as it’s such a common fault.
@@SupercarSpotter3105 got plugs replaced running good now, so it needed new spark plugs, and got a new air filter too
How much to change the coil?
Is it petrol or diesel
Petrol
This car does not cost 4800-6000 that is so incorrect you can pick this car up from 3,000 onwards
Miles Sampson yes you can pick them up for cheaper than £4,800 but they’ll have 75,000+ miles on them or it’ll have been crashed and repaired. If you want a good low mileage model that’s not be crashed and repaired then u will really struggle to find one for less than that.
I’ve just paid 4600 for mine that’s 2012 and done 45,000 miles , however you won’t find one under 70,000 miles for less than 4000, and if you do then I’m 100% sure it’ll be either cat D or cat C
Owen Collier just bought one today for £2,800 with some scratches on alloys and a small scratch on one door, it’s 61,000 miles and under £3000. 2013 model too
I just bought one from Vauxhall’s with 2 year warranty and 3 year alloy and tyre cover,tank of fuel,tax paid for 1st year,12 month mot and a fresh service in the 1.3cdti for £4200 with 60k on it which is nothing for a diesel
if you have driven 30 small cars you probably wouldnt buy it cheap plastic interior, boring , depreciates every month , but the new ones are very good
The clutch is a pain in the asssss
SeekerZ ProductionZ tell me about it
whY?
Skengy its springy and extrememly slipper sometimes 😂 but it takes a while get used too
I have a 2014 corsa d with leather seats and 26k on it now but Do you get clutch judder in 2nd gear I get it every time I change from 1th to 2nd gear it's realy annoying me no matter how I lift the clutch it judder and 2nd gear in my car is sometimes very stiff for some reason
Private plate needed
joshua stewart I know I’ll get round to a private plate one day
Motorway driving. No power at all.
What did you expect, it's still a 1.4. if anyone does alot of motorway driving then 2.0 plus is standard of you want that motorway power. This car is a nip around town car.
@@falconknowledgey The VXR is only 1.6. The larger SUVs from Vauxhall are only 1.2.
@@falconknowledgey Oh and this car is 1.2 as well.
Nah i got the car and going to 3rd is fine
Yea thats defo a 13 plate doesnt say 62 on the front does it
J4C0B_GB the car was registered in January 2013 hence why I said 2013...
Yea but its still a 62 plate
Are you normal ? 😂
J4C0B_GB tard 62 plates can be 2013 jan, feb
Have you not got anything better to do than comment on old posts
My mpg is rubbish
charlie Kawasaki do you drive the car quite hard though?
I’ve got one of these in burnt orange. It’s an absolute turd. Takes a decade to demist the windows, it couldn’t pull dick off a chocolate mouse and there’s nothing inside. It’s as basic as one I had 15 years ago. Good job it’s pretty, but that’s it. Utter shite!
Just because it is FWD does not mean its extra grippy, 83bhp will not make your wheels spin even on RWD lol
I've got a bad side of this car it's a Vauxhall there shit
A bit like your spelling then...
vauxhall is decent
Not a good driver if you complain about not getting it in to 3rd gear haha
2 things. First how can you expect me to be a good driver with less than a year between making this video and passing my test? Becoming a good driver means you need years of experience not just 10 months. Second I bought the car knowing full well the gearbox wasn't in the best of conditions and would probably need to be refurbished at some point. So yes part of the reason it sometimes didn't go into 3rd is probably down to the fact that im quite inexperienced but the fact that the gearbox was also on its last legs was also a reason as well.
SupercarSpotter3105 I’ve had 10hrs of driving lessons and don’t miss gears And it’s not on its last legs it’s a 12 plate car with 18k on the clock you said badly broke in yet
What car are you learning to drive in? What make, model, year? What I said in the video is that i bought the car with 18K miles on it not that it had 18K miles on it when i filmed it. The previous owner to the car was a new, male driver as well and bought the car, ragged it a lot which knackered the gearbox so it didn't always go into gear the first time of asking. I'm not denying that i'm not a very good driver im saying that the gearbox is also at fault here. I owned the car I think I know more about it than you do.
i have one and my gear box is amazing
1.2 Corsa's are dead get a 1.4
You dont like your car cuz it got black wheels ?!!!
Thats only cuz you dont know how to park
Daanish Waseem I didn’t say I didn’t like the car because it had black wheels I said it was a negative thing about the car. If u listened I also said it was one of the reasons I bought the car, is because it had black wheels. Didn’t say I didn’t like the car. And also not once did I parallel park that car, I accidentally curbed them when I pulled up next to the curb to drop someone off when I first passed my test. Was an accidental thing that happened because I wasn’t concentrating properly when pulling up to the curb.
Hey, I’ve recently passed and I’m really interested in buying this car... how much would you say my insurance will be (not too bothered about having a black box installed) :)
It really depends on which insurance company you go with I mean it’ll be completely different with every company but you should look for offers which are less than £1800. Any more than that and it’s not a good deal. Have a play around with some of the options on the insurance websites to try get it as low as possible, although make sure you don’t enter any false details otherwise that’ll cause issues should you need to make a claim. Hope this helps.
SupercarSpotter3105 Thank you very much for the advice, it’s been of great help! I will be sure to contact you when I’m insured with my quote and my car as I’m going to do a few mods on it too ;)
isy younis no worries at all.
