Learner driver Tia wins brand new Vauxhall Corsa!
It's not everyday you get a call to let you know you've won a brand new car, but that's exactly what happened to 18-year-old, learner driver Tia Lewis from Cambridge!
Every year, ingenie partners with FirstCar magazine, offering a once in a lifetime prize: a brand new Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 75PS SE, complete with all the latest safety technology and worth a whopping £16,415. To enter, all Tia did was visit the FirstCar website, input her details and wait patiently with her fingers tightly crossed.
And out of 66,063 entrants...Tia won!
A bit about our winner
Tia has been playing her part to keep the UK running during lockdown, working through the night as a key worker at her local supermarket, processing hundreds of online deliveries. After just finishing her A-levels, Tia is now learning to drive and is due to take her driving test in a few weeks' time.
Amazingly, Tia had visited her local dealership with her dad to buy a Corsa the day before she got the call, but fortunately the dearlership was closed. It must have been fate!
"When I entered, I had no idea I would have even a slight chance of actually winning this car. I’m so grateful to my driving instructor who encouraged me to enter. I hope to pass my upcoming test, which was postponed due to Coronavirus, so this has happened at just the perfect time."Tia Lewis

- Lane departure warning with lane assist
- Speed sign recognition
- Automatic emergency city braking
- Hill start assist
- 7-inch colour infotainment screen
- Plus tonnes of awesome tech like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
"It’s lovely to help one young driver into a car that’s got all the latest tech and safety features. Tia is a worthy winner and we hope it helps prepare her for her driving test in a few weeks’ time."Laura-Jane Pohlmann
