No, I'm not bannanas. I've done all the sums and worked out I will save a good few hundred every month in fuel costs alone. That is based on the Corsa only doing 45 MPG and the RS 6 doing 20, even thought it only does 17 on my commute and I'm hoping the Corsa will do more. I can still enjoy the RS6, it will just feel even more special when I do. It was never intended to be an everyday car in the first place. It is easy for you guys to go out and buy a second hand four/five year old Audi for the same cost of the Corsa, I'm 21. The insurance will be five times what it is on the Corsa (based on my 320d) and I'm already paying them a lot for the RS6, why would I want to give them even more of my money? Then I would have to add on the cost of the warranty etc... It doesn't work. Sure, I would much rather be in an C6 TDI A6 then a Corsa, but it isn't as simple as that.
The only problem I can see with the Corsa is it is very very underpowered, 0-60 in 18.4 seconds could be dangerous even, but how often does someone really go from 0-60 anyway. May see if I can get a deal on the 1.3 CDTi instead. Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated. But this is happening. Still convinced it is a great idea. ![]()

You make a fair point with the insurance, so are there not any deals out there with free insurance? |

I don't need a deal with free insurance. I can get insurance for about £200. But there is one with Peugoet, you have to be 25 though. Like I said in my previous posts. The car will have paid for itself, so even if I got £0 for it in five years, it wouldn't matter. But that won't be the case. I'm sure I will get £1.5-2k which will be a nice bonus or rather then that I may even just give it to my parents.
A four year old A6 for the same price will need tyres and brakes. So add on £1k, cost £130 to tax, £1,000 to insure, £700 to wanetee etc. This is all based on personal circumstances, just because it wouldn't work out for you, doesn't mean it won't for me. Thanks for the comments though, intresting to hear your opinions and you all have valid arguements, but my mind still not changed. Dezzy came close with the £200 Skoda, I can't turn up to work in that! ![]()

Thanks Sarg, I'll have a look when I get home. But the insurance is less then two tanks of fuel on the RS6. So that won't be a dealmaker for me. Will see what deal I can get on a Polo perhaps.

Firstly I am wondering how this Thread went from Signitures (Signatures) to
trying to convince a 21 yr old that a Corsa is not a viable option from all angles. For me the prime concern here is the safety factor..... and that would be one my primary objection to considering this as a daily commute. There are some way better options.... In the Safety/Daily commute options out there...... And at least buy something that is gonna have a certain amount of " Fun Factor " about it.... At least in the Styling, Comfort and Performance Departments... Don't buy something that every time you climb into it you Grimace instead of Smiling.... ![]() Just my 2 SA Cents......
