They are good fun to drive but you always feel as though you could of got something better in the same class. They hard to modify for power aswell. They are nice to drive and comfy and are obviously pretty quick.

Ive only had mine a few weeks but ive owned the likes of imprezas, a 172 and a couple of fiesta ST's to name but a few previous cars. Not the quickest or slowwest ive owned. Insurance is the same for the 180 or a 182 clio (which i nearly got instead) Im really enjoying mine. Ye they have their downfalls but what cars dont. The seats are probably only seccond to the seats in my old STI and is still relatively cheap to run in the current climate. I wouldnt want to pay the premium your saying to insure one though!! Cant believe how much kids are willing to pay these days on insurance! Im 27 and it costs me £500 to insure

alright cheers for that, and i know its ridiculous but when 1.0 corsa's are 500 pounds cheaper to insure you may aswell pay the extra and get some power for your money? believe me i dont like paying that for insurance its killing me haha

Chief: Sorry for the smugness... but i was on your side of the fence once so i do feel your pain! Paid £1300 TPFT to insure a £600 Fiesta XR2i when i was 18 lol. The most i ever paid for insurance was my Impreza STI when i was 22, that set me back around £1800, but being a home owner for the last 6 years has took me back to hot hatches as they are cheaper to run/maintain.
