Best place to buy a nearly new Corsa or YARIS?

I could do an HPi check for you - it wouldn't take long - an hour? May be less - have to be when at work tho as it is a bank holiday! The other check you need to do is with AA or RAC - get them to look the car over for you. It costs - but at least you have peace of mind.
Corsa's are ok and in my limited experience, Vauxhall parts always seem to be very reasonable!Genie

i hate it when people waste thousends on a new car just coz its new!
how about a used mini? it will hold its value better then the corsa
what about a slightly used audi a2? VW polo? Honda Jazz? toyota Aygo/Yaris?Named after my cat, picture coming shortly0 -

What car do you drive normally? I have test drove it and because I am used to a big car I felt every bump of the road but would I not feel that with all small cars? What was bad about driving it in your opinion?0 -

Thanks Jeannie I might take you up on that if you don't mind? Just let me know the cost (PM if prefer) and I'll get the money to you. I might be going to look at the car tonight so I'll let you know what I think.
Thanks again thats a really kind offer.

Just going to have a look at the Yaris and then make my decision between the two. Any opinions?0

Me again!
Anybody heard anything good or bad about Evans Halshaw?0 -
i bought my last car from evans halshaw. they were ok - like any other big dealer. they had bought over a lot of other dealerships in my area. i guess it always boils down to the individual dealership and salesman.
I have also owned both a corsa and yaris. the yaris was a nicer car imho and will keep its value very well.0 -
I'd say Yaris over a Corsa any day.
Drive as many as you can KM so that you are happy. Aygo - no boot room for all your shopping!Genie
