mikey4410 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) hey guys. been ages since i had my starlet now and the bmw 330 ci that i had last year wasnt cutting it at all. i have been driving round (since nov 2nd) a corsa cdti 1.3 which is incredibly good on diesel and cheap to have/own and would love to have it and and the starlet but i just dont think i could afford it. no idea what to do but i do know i miss starlets soooo badly Edited March 28, 2016 by mikey4410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollieh17 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 But its a diesel, a vauxhall and a corsa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 i know i know,its like a triple smack in the face lol i think i can just about afford to keep it and insure a starlet so i may go for it. i do really ideally want both cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
diller Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 wel matey, im in the very same boat as you......family was my excuse to get out'v having a GTT or a V but now im back and in the process of getting a 98 spec V for project and lets just say i will not be selling it again for no reason when i get it. Gtt are getting scarce and even harder to get parts for and costs a fortune to import bits because of shipping from japan etc, Thats why im going with a V this time. Best of luck with your car what ever you get mate Diller Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 i just cant believe i sold my turboed sportif. i truely think i got to used to it as it was my daily and i didnt appreciate it as such.this corsa i have is so slugish and wallowy handling wise that a well set starlet would be such a lovely treat to get into on a weekend and i would enjoy it more. if i get another starlet i will not make that same mistake again of selling.i hate not having one and i dont want anything else performance wise. thanks dude i actually just worked out what the corsa costs me each year daily work driving,insurance,tax and its less than a grand.theres no point whatsoever of selling it.

As much hate as they get. They're still cracking cars for the money. I run a little 1.2 as a daily. Costs me pennies to run lol. Still get another starlet though.

mikey4410 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 tbf i dont hate the corsa at all really,great lil car,its just not a starlet lol i will keep the corsa because as i say its 950 quid a year to run on a daily basis which is peanuts. thanks for responses guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
