Learnt to drive in a Corsa, and had one as ahire car since, the hire car took three peeps and two (disassembled) bikes. However, the Corsa is an auful car to drive, I would avoid it. Iffy build quality and the smaller engines (ie the cheap to insure ones) are woefully underpowered.
Must be better things available which are cheap to insure? My old 1.9D 306 was only group 4, much nicer to drive despite being a lot older, and loads more room. Still plent around, estate ones too, ideal first car. Actaully it was my second, my first car was a 1.6 Proton Persona, also good for being cheap and holding a surprisingly large amount of bikes, fastest car I’ve ever had too, only 115hp but didn’t weigh anything, it had independant rear suspension, disc breaks all round etc, even 3 series BMWs of the same age didn’t have those. Unfashionable brands like Proton tend to have cheap insurance.
