Hi, In a full charge, how many miles do you do?

Hello :) Could you say more after 3 years? Do you still have it? Any faults drawbacks?

Oy you! The car salesman said to me it makes the car go faster! 😉

#fact

Absolutely! The 1950's MG Magnette comes to mind. And the Vauxhall Cresta. So does the Triumph Mayflower. Then the Mini. But the US car makers were there early on, too.

But it's absolutely worth it ;)

I loved the CDi I had. Everybody had them but for good reason. The CDi had such tall gearing that it was great for doing 90 on the motorway. SRi was lower geared so more suited to A roads and driving like an idiot in the countryside ( one of my mates used to scare me to death as his passenger ).

I know exactly what you mean. I like the Peugeot more but the front of the thing is going to age terribly. The Corsa is more conservative on the design front but won’t look awful in a few years time.

Lucky enough to have a new 530d and had numerous nice cars but I did miss my old 83 SRI cavalier with Recaro seats and two tone paint.Didn"t miss a beat ploughing up and down the motorway 120,000 in 3 years.The point being I would look at a Vauxhall when shopping for the wife

The Rep's car!

Its almost like the british version of the Corsa was something of an afterthought, with only the "essential" stuff of the cockpit moved over 😀 But yes, on the not-british versions the glovebox is, afaik, one of the if not the most spacious in the class.

Quick question, how far would I me able to go on motor way ?

@@kingsleythomas-peakperform2361 Don't know, I avoid thé motorways here in France as they're all toll roads.

@@kingsleythomas-peakperform2361 thé 260km round trip I do is on dual carrigeway at 110km/h

Otoh the Corsa has more room for passengers in the back than the Zoe... priorities I guess.

I think they've done a pretty good job by all accounts - Typical Vauxhall/Opel - Smart but uninspiring; good enough for me! (Well, my wife anyway)

If the used the GM platform, then PSA would have to pay royalties etc for using it and this was another reason

@@davidhunter3261 not another reason, THE reason!

As another reviewer said: "Not everyone wants a fashion statement on wheels - they just want a car. And the Corsa... is just a car!" And a comfy one too 😀

The 208 gloss black wheel arches really put me off too.

The e208 looks fantastic in all black, though. That's inside and out. The GT Premium was my weapon of choice. All the extras. Pan Roof and heated seats. 3 tone charcoal leather seats with neon stitching. There's a reason the Peugeot won design awards! I test drove the top spec Corsa-e too. Thought its body style and interior were bland. It was just lacking. It put me to sleep. Underneath, they are exactly the same Stellantis platform car, but Peugeot built the prettier car on top with way more little touches that just set the two cars apart. Examples are the touch sensitive interior lights, the adjustable mood lighting, and the 3D display. The whole interior reaches out and hugs you. Makes you feel special. Outside, the full LED lion claws make the vehicle look positively evill. All the bumps are in the right places. The Corsa is just too safe looking and set in a past era. Made for those that are slow to adopt change. The e208 got my purchase. 2½ years later and still love it. EV man is correct. When you are following a Corsa you don't notice it all. It has no character or individuality at all.

So does it just continue charging up to 100%? That would be very odd since it is not advisable to do that on a routine basis. (Curiously the Tesla Model 3 doesn't have a charge stop time either but you can set the max percentage so it's actually quite easy to take advantage of Octopus Go.)

My wife has had two Vauxhall Zafiras. Both have been reliable and relatively efficient. Trying to persuade her to ditch petrol cars now. Would consider a Vauxhall crossover EV when they exist.

Sadly it doesn't come with a 3-pin. We ended up purchasing a 10m cable from Screwfix for £160.

I get 300km when doing a trip from my town to the city and back, 160km of which are at 120km/h

It’s a drive-in garageway, the best kind.

When this car was designed and built, it was owned by PSA... 2021, PSA sold up

Unfortunately its like lets take the worlds worst car companies and merge them together.

I just got mine with 8 and half grand of getting it Wednesday!

Hi , How many miles can you do, full charged?

Yes, used prices are normally ignored. This EV has dropped in cost dramatically after a year or two

@Bolt electric⚡️ I have some experience as my folks have a Mokka and previously had a Corsa-e (I know, madness to change so soon but there you are!). The infotainment system's energy readout is pretty simplistic. Mostly a graph that I don't fully understand yet. There is an energy display in the driver's dashboard showing what energy is going where but its not sophisticated enough to give you individual kw readouts etc. I knew that - really doesn't bother me truth be told. The app is a bit patchy but generally restarting it works alright. It's significantly better on iOS it seems compared to android... Gotta remember the Leaf is an amazing car but also old - with a smaller battery, lower nominal efficiency (according to EVDB) and cost more. Round here the only Leaf's that are near on price are the basic Acentas with 40kw batteries. You have to ad nearly £3k to get an N-Connecta. Similarly the Leaf doesn't have any active thermal management of its battery - no water cooling to help manage the battery pack's longevity. Finally it doesn't have a heat pump on the 40kw which is a real shame. Ultimately it's a pays your money takes your choice. Outside of maybe the new 500 the Corsa-e is the cheapest normal size EV you can get - with almost all the luxuries in it and all the thermal management and heating kit other brands treat as luxuries if they are offered at all. I think its worth some slightly weaker regen and app infidelity haha!

Corsa-e charges really fast compared to Leaf, which should make longer journeys easier.

Well done, you spotted the deliberate mistake.

@@ElectricVehicleMan Haha. I very much enjoy your presentations and look forward to new offerings. I was drawn to your down to earth manner, a welcome style among such a variety of nonsensical posing in much of KZfaq. I loved the ‘spirited’, ahem, whole family gig on New Year’s Eve too. There was another deliberate mistake, wasn’t there? It’s not a two tone roof at all; the roof is only one colour, the paint job on the car is, though. Can I have my Mars bar now?

Vauxhall, Opel, Peugeot, Citroen and DS recently merged with Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep etc. so all these brands are likely to be the same cars under the skin in the future with common EV platforms.

I thought Opel was sold as Vauxhall. Same difference really I suppose.

@@dcvariousvids8082 Vauxhall is just a 'brand' used to sell Opel cars in the UK. When both brands were owned by GM, the Vauxhall Griffon grille badge was changed from square to circular some years ago so it could fit in grilles designed for the circular Opel logo.

@@dcvariousvids8082 Has been since they stopped making the Manta.

I have a french opel corsa-e and never heard the name vauxhall before. The glove box is bigger when it's on the right side of the car. And there is no buttons right under the touchscreen but tactiles ones on the sides.

the e-208 is too fussy for me and at the base spec worse with no proper colours.

208 re-badged as Vauxhall corsa you've got same car

No, the glove box isn’t deep just by removing things from it. It’s less than half the size of LHD. Other marques don’t have that issue. That’s like saying a bedroom is way bigger if you remove the bed.

@@ElectricVehicleMan deep enough on my e-Corsa for what I have in it which is quite a lot. Extra Smart phone, torch. Pens, paper, sat nav, sweets etc. That weighs enough as it is.

@@ElectricVehicleMan Can i ask how tall you are? It is just that when you put the drivers seat back where a 6 foot driver might have it, you could not have had the seat lowered where a 6 foot tall driver might. There is no room behind me for adult feet maybe more than size 5 and someone with legs. Maybe go stick your hand in the glove box and see how deep it actually is, i assume you have pretty normal sized hands.

As it’s the only example, no. When there are many, yes.

MG5 is great but it's a long car and much too big for daily diving compared to this. I like small cars for city commuting and running around in

Same size as 208!!!

because thats the wrong way around!

That is how all European automatic cars are, sounds odd, but works!

I've been asking the same question for years. To me, that would be entirely logical.

I feel this also 😂

They sent me one around christmas. There's a hook? How hadn't I noticed!

Amazing that should be being a PSA car. The big difference is no stupid shaped steering wheel, or seat material that looks dirty from new.

Not at all, this is very Opel/Vauxhall, but not yet the new type, like the Mokka!

Tighten all the bolts they missed on the PDI

Yes, the mind wanders whenever ever a Vauxhall is in display. Watching paint dry is far more fascinating than looking at any Vauxhall car.

@@TheSmithy225 probably

Nope. That’s my Cooper S

I had a Mokka as a rental. It was so unresponsive driving off at junctions that it was positively dangerous. I have great memories of my 2litre GTE many years ago and do not readily join the current fashion for knocking the brand but the Mokka was dreadful ... and the Corsa E looks better than the Peugeot in my view.

Yes

Quite a bit more expensive at the moment.. and bigger than needed for commuting or runaround in many cases

I can ‘work from home’.

You are playing on the words!

Just have. Video a week on Friday.

@@ElectricVehicleMan Just watched it. A great review of brilliant little car. . I've solved the non flat floor issue by removing the rear seat and the passenger one as I use my 5 as a van for my window blinds business. . Keep up the good work.
