It’s pretty reasonable to suggest that the Corsa ranks higher than any other success story in the Vauxhall brand’s history. Since the first model went on sale in the UK 26 years ago (later than Europe - the Corsa A was our Nova), Vauxhall has sold a staggering two million of them.
Even though the previous version was getting a bit long in the tooth, it still managed to outsell any other model in the brand’s range by more than two to one and rank in the top four overall in UK sales this year. But now there’s an all-new model.

Love my new 70 plate corsa, more mod cons to play with that I love, nicer shape and comfortable to drive. Very zippy on the road ❤️

I test drove a corsa not long ago it handled well. The only thing that concern me was the small rear window for revering. Do you have trouble revering into spaces with it?

@mirola73 Жыл бұрын

I'll stick to my corsa e (the actual corsa e, not the Electric version), costs less than a 3rd to buy compared to a new one nowadays and when maintained will run a very long time. Don't drive much anymore anyway working from home, a new one would be a total waste.

Yeah I'm considering going for a lease car, and you can get an Elite Nav Premium 100ps over 36 months, 10k miles, at an average of £186pm (eg. £1332 up front + £195 fees then £148pm). Fiesta might be a better drive, but a 125ps ST-Line averages £209pm and you lose out on LEDs, climate & rev camera, as well as being 0.1s slower 0..62. The Corsa is very tempting at that price... My stepson had a 2nd hand Y reg blue Corsa Breeze for many years. He was a drummer in a metal band, and it took him, his kit, and as many bandmates as would squeeze in, all over the country. He did his best to kill it - no servicing etc. - and it had at least one under-bonnet fire. But it just wouldn't die :)

By making a car that is worse looking than not only their own factory rival the 208 but also worse looking than their rivals from Ford, Seat and Renault while also being worse to drive and that digital dash board looks like those cheap p*ss poor video photo frames you could buy 5 years ago?

It's not too big, do you have one, I've just bought one and I can't recommend it high enough. Far more mod cons in it as I said in previous post. . It's the same size as previous maybe a little bit smaller but looks a bit more sporty. I've bought new Corsa in 2015 then the new one I got this week and I know which one I prefer already and its not the last model. The boot is actually bigger than the last model as well.
