Can they do this to me?

Are you not going to fix the car at all?

In your situation I'd just get another shit car to use, but the box seems the problem there really, admin fee should only be about £15 or so.

As for the corsa, its the same power I think, so has a higher power to weight ratio, plus its seen as a young persons car which bumps the insurance up. Look for an old mans car and it should be cheaper.
