I think it's a classy design, I think Vauxhall gets too much bad stick from the press

I'm French so I went for a 2021 Renault Clio 5 Tce 90 with a 6-speed manual transmission. This is a very pleasing car to drive. The engine is fabulous, torquey and very economical with 6 Liters in average consumption (sorry, no MPG in France). The interior, even though it is almost the base trim, Zen but with options like fog lights or 4 electric windows, feels solid and well built for the kind of car it is. I would 100% recommend the Clio to anyone looking for a super-mini car because it is trully the best in class. And with higher trim levels, it feels like a premium car with soft materials everywhere in the rear of the cabin, including on the door panels. The infotainment system id very well made and wired Android Auto works smoothly. Us French, we know how to make good super-minis and this Corsa is basically French 😊😊

Drove one, last year, for some 400 miles, travelling from Barcelona to Motorland for the first round of the WTCR/ETCR and, while it wasn’t a top of the line, I loved it. Easy to get used to it, pretty intuitive for what I want, and pretty economical. And style-wise, the Pug stands out immediately but the more I look at it, the less I like it. With the Corsa, it’s the opposite. And I can’t stand the two-storey dashboard of Peugeot…

I hired a brand new one the 130bhp version for the day whilst holidaying in Ireland just before Christmas and I thought it was a cracking car. I stand at 6'4" and had no comfort issues at the end of my time with the car although nobody could sit behind me except a small child.

This review omit to mention Hyundai i20, although it´s not so great looking inside, its practicality challenge C segment hatchbacks.

Got one as a loan car, I hated it to start off with but it’s grown on me. The 1.2 turbo is impressive. Has great low down pull, definitely recommend it!

I've had a Corsa Griffin 1.2 turbo for a year, and love it. Fun to drive, comfortable, reasonable fuel economy, and plenty of toys i.e. parking sensors, heated seats & steering wheel, rear view camera, electric folding mirrors, plus others. I had a 1.2 non turbo as a courtesy car when mine was in for service & the difference in power is very noticeable.

According to EuroNcap's test results, the Corsa is safer in a car crash than the Peugeot 208, whose instrument panel turns out to be dangerous for the safety of the passengers in an accident. And the Indicators on Peugeot 208 with LED headlights are very difficult to see... dangerous... And Corsa is also available with Matrix... headlights... The Corsa also has other seats in the expensive models and is a much more skilfully executed design than the Peugeot 208, which has several serious design flaws in the design from behind and in profile from the side. But if you only go for a "general impression" and don't look at the details... and stop and think... you will not see these errors. In addition, the Corsa has lower air resistance and slightly lower weight, which gives a longer range for the electric car than the Peugeot e-208. Although the official figure says the opposite, but that figure is completely wrong. The Corsa is therefore a better car than the Peugeot 208.

As a Polo owner, I had the great fortune to drive a Corsa on a recent trip to the Amalfi Coast and I must say, I quite enjoyed it! Great seats, sporty seating position, and overall a pleasurable feeling. The Polo, mind you, still feels a class above but I fully understand why the Corsa is so darn popular. On a side note, on my Italian drive, Corsas on the roads outnumbered 208's by a ratio of 50:1 (!)

With all due respect Rebecca, whether you are in the UK or the USA, it's a bit of a squeeze to operate a vehicle given the increased cost of fuel. Value for your money can't be underrated . 🤔👍🤗😘

Own a 22 Nav which is well equipped and I really enjoy it, though 2 comments - 1) The rear passenger area has no light, so when getting in the back at night you have to fumble for the seat belt anchors, 2) If you use the seat warmers and don't switch them off at the end of the journey, switching the engine off doesn't switch them off, so when you restart the car the seat heaters are still on.

Your review was harsh, this is a great car, economical, and stylish. The ultimate has more than you need, 10/10

What does "Fun to Drive" actually mean? Is driving to and from work in traffic fun in any car? Easy to drive with light controls or Difficult to drive because you cant see out, or something with actual meaning and reasoning. Fun to drive means??? and why?

We have a really good privately run Vauxhall dealer in our local market town . Or a national brand Peugeot dealer somewhat further away. The latter is typically faceless , expensive with a reputation for poor service. So Vauxhall it is every time . They are good cars and your faint praise Is unfair

Hmmm... I think you're be a tad disingenuous with your description of MPG figures for the Corsa versus the Polo... which might therefore incorrectly dissuade a potential buyer from considering the Vauxhall. You were driving the 8-speed automatic Corsa, which, indeed does mid / late-40s mpg, yet you were quoting non-comparable manual-gearbox figures for the Polo which, yes, does over 50mpg. In fact, your own website reviews on those 2 cars - both with manual gearboxes - states that they will both achieve around 50mpg 'real-world'.

I ask the same question- I had one for a month and it is just so average (1.2 100 Ultimate)! Average is fine if it is cheap, but it isn’t. I can’t understand why buyers of this don’t go for the Sandero instead

I've got the elite premium nav automatic 1.2 turbo

I've got the newer corsa 22 plate I find it quite good fun to drive this is my second corsa and I find the newer ones are a longer than its predecessor general motors. I find it good to drive I've got the basic model without the mod cons such as heated seats heated steering wheel they have a perfectly good heater for the cold winter morning and air con for the summer months. I also found whatever model you go for the more it costs I would highly recommend anyone who's looking for a new corsa is to try before you buy.

I work for a rental company and driven dozens of these. Nicely equipped & not bad to drive, if a little dull inside. However, as with many vauxhalls the build quality and reliability has been an issue..

As new "affordable" cars go, I'd say both this (so long as it has the black contrasting roof) and the Peugeot 208 are about the best looking out there. Vauxhall puts more effort into their marketing than the rivals and the after sales seems impressive in comparison.

It's difficult to believe the CarGurus actually gave a Vauxhall a fairly favorable review! They usually are condescending and nitpicky about everything when it comes to Vauxhall vehicles.

Stuck record yes slating it within 2 minutes yes

I swear this presenter has shares in Ford, every video she bigs up ford? Boring and predictable reviewer. The Corsa is a smashing car and is obviously selling a lot to be the best selling car in 2021.

Provided that you avoid the smallest engine (sub 100 PS) all of these superminis are a refreshing and well planted change from cross overs. Modern superminis are quite heavy though, so 75 PS is simply not enough. These cars are as heavy as Ford Sierras were in the 1980s … quite a thought.

been looking for an insignia review but cant find it...have you done a review of the car yet?

Will this category of combustible engine car be the last group to survive the transition into the green era of motoring because of their affordability and that they are economical... Time will tell.

i have this exact model in the red/black paint, not a bad car but i hate the roof slope on the front door, forever banging or scraping my head when getting into the car.. the electrics on the radio/dash tend to play up, though there has been a recall about this.. i traded my mazda 3 in for this car... in hindsight something i would never have done had i known what i know now.

Feels like loads of power and 3 cylinders sounds great.

Amazing how they managed to make it look so dull when compared to the Peugeot 208 which is essentially the same car

I don't know if it is just me but I find all cars in this segment to have hard and uncomfortable seats, certainly for my meagre frame. What ever happened to soft,comfortable seats like the old Chrysler Alpine and Horizon which were basically French cars? I drove a previous generation Corsa as a courtesy car and the seats were awful. I can only hope the new Corsa is better in that respect.

Got a sri premium in black. What a great car.

Ironically the ad I got for this video was for an Audi a1😂

Vauxhall always shifted numbers. Never made them any great product Mind. Very impressive the marketing team Vaux had for decades shifting this metal

When it's raining heavily why not do the review of the interior and exterior inside ?

Why do cars seem to get bigger as time goes by. I own a Corsa C from 2003 ( still going strong ) and its tiny in comparison. It's the same with the Golf. Huge compared to the original from the 1970's.

Just like the 208 but without the stupid dashboard, its a winner. Who'd have thought the Stelantis merger/takeover would end up with Vauxhall finally making a decent Corsa.

I’ve got a 1.2 turbo hire car of this whilst my 1L vetec civic is in the garage. Let me tell you, the 1L Honda is far quicker, far more sporty and feels more expensive. The Corsa engine to me is a pig unless you rev it off limits, 5 gear manual I’ve got on hire, need to drop to 4th to overtake lorries, 5th is dead, whereas my civic will pull in 6th gear. To me these are an excellent first car as you can’t go quick enough to crash. Sound system is good, interior is cheap.

my driving instructor had one of these.

Love the Vauxhall cars, feels solid on the road than Fords anyday.

I don’t get it. I’ve been the unfortunate owner of an e-Corsa for the last 3 years and it has been a nightmare. The small battery - that was my fault, I should have known better but the amount of electrical problems it’s had - that’s all Vauxhall. Constantly in the garage, the key constantly looses link with the vehicle and it won’t open, always blinks and twitches with random dash lights coming on and going off. Lights randomly stop working, screens freeze. I could go on.. the petrol version of this that I get from the garage when it goes in to have issues resolved - it’s just horrible? Huge, ugly gear stick, sounds like a diesel and the drive is just horrible. The A pillars also mean that there is a huge blind spot when u pull out of a non standard junction, I even nearly missed a bus once in the blind spot - I kid you not. The Corsa used to be a nice small sporty car, this thing - come on… it’s the size of an Astra, and it’s just horrible.

Worst car I ever owned was a Corsa 2004 version. So I don't care how popular they are now I couldn't chance buying another. I owned the Corsa for 6 months and it was only 1 year old and was being repaired for about 8 weeks of the 6 months. Vauxhall lent me an Astra for 4 weeks while they "fixed" the Corsa. When I got it back it had the same problem. Never again.

Well done 👏

Yipee now that is good news to my ears, Rebecca announcing the Ford Fiesta is better than the Corsa and I agree it looks far less fun to drive than mine, which I can chuck into corners and feel safe in but then I've had four years of practice. Cheers Rebecca.

Overall, not too bad of a car. But the interior space isn't the best if your 6ft plus, but still manageable

Nice little car, especially as electric version.

This car will look good in black colour.

Vauxhall are the disposable bic razer of the car world.

Great review as always but I really wish you would include the country of manufacture which will sway many people who like to buy British built whenever possible even though the parent company is not British.

No car with an automatic gearbox is fun to drive.

Lots of them on the road my isn’t doing too good had issues where I haven’t had before with any of my car, infotainment sys freezes, parking assistance Faliure, vehicle traction control fault etc tbh I had enough, never go for a Vauxhall again 👎🏻

Rather the Nissan n spórt mirca better looking and great inside and great to drive sorry opel

Test the Fiat panda 2022 as its so much better and safer!!!

Is a great car.

Pretty damning of the corsa there then Stick with my 9 year old Lexus CT200h

Horrible dark interior, had one for a loan car and the only standout feature was the (French) engine 😆

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Fiesta is now dead, so the remaining cars automatically 'win'.

Nope none on my street

Problem is its looks. It's, well, meh...

*shakes head * why do people buy Vauxhall's 🤔 ... for this type of car the fiesta is streets ahead.

Ditch the dead brand names!! Its an opel

Steering is awful

It's a Vauxhall no thanks.

It's an ugly looking thing, I don't know how they can take a 208 and make it so bland and poorly styled

Fiesta much better

Possibly one of the most unreliable and boring cars out there. Not bad for a grandma on disability though🤣

Not for me but I can see why people who aren't really interested in cars would buy it.
