BSM throw out the Fiats

After spending 1000's telling us how Fiat 500's were the ONLY car to learn in BSM has done a U turn and will be returning to Corsa's. The 500's were victim of the now famous BSM flip, in which they hit the headlines after a pupil managed to roll the vehicle on their second lesson. They were also part of a Pink campaign supporting breast cancer awareness. They were also the trigger for many ADI's to leave BSM going either to other Franchises or starting out Independently.
Reports state the examiners have complained that there is not enough space in the rear of the 500's for them to perform Check-tests. BSM are claiming that they are making the move based on Instructor and Customer feedback, and that Corsa's are what they want.
Whatever the reason the little Noddy cars will be leaving our roads over the next 18 months, and the BSM Corsa will be making it's comeback. But have BSM lost too many good Instructors to maintain their reputation?
