Hairdryer on wheels

On the day sis bought herself a shiney new Astra I picked up my hire car. The ad for the company said Vauxhall Corsa or similar. Now I drove a Corsa for a few years before coming out to NZ so I was looking forward to having a nippy wee thing again. Alas what I got was Toyota Aygo which is even smaller! And sounds like a bloody hairdryer on wheels!
