Omg I’m here from 2022, little does Matt know he will be the best presenter of any KZfaq car channel!

Ample knee room made me laugh. You can only just about fit your fingers there mat! 😂😂

I've had a 1.2 Corsa SXI for a year now and I'm pretty happy with it. Get about 40mpg with about 50/50 town and motorway driving and within a few weeks I didn't even notice the fat a-pillars.

Just bought a 2012 SE 1.4 and i love it

I'm getting the 2012 1.4 SE model. I love the Corsa so much.

I drive a corsa and have driven an old shape, brand new and one a few years old (sxi 1.2 engines) It's a easy car to get used to and the newer models come with cruise control which can be nice, I don't know the Ford in terms of drive but the Corsa is great even if it has a fair few blind spots you need to keep an eye on! The thing can take a hit though was hit in the back by a white van less than a week ago and it took it like a boss.

i tested the 1.4 100hp petrol model and it seemed pretty smooth if a bit gutless. the fuel consumption was pretty nice actually. i bought a diesel corsa in the end.

These reviews are absolutely excellent

Just bought the 3-door corsa excite. Love it

"our rubbish UK roads" *laughs in Eastern European*

I'm learning to drive in this!

Yeah, good review. Impressed. Thanks

Does the corsa D have the dreaded corsa C problem of the leak from the brake servo bulk head and soaking wet drivers floorwell

what is the quality of the sound of the radio like in these?? i am thinking about getting one

I got a Vauxhall mareva design automatic and manual all black 2008 boot is huge and back seats go down flat so I get a 5 foots space really good car

These cars are assembled and built in Northern Spain, and shipped over to UK by boat, into Bristol somewhere I think... Well they did do, whether it's changed, some may come by road! They have an Opel badge for Europe and elsewhere, and a Vauxhall badge for the UK.

awesome review :)

so do you think im better off getting the newer model?

I have not yet driven a corsa, but I have rode on a 1.2 2007 one. It was very smooth, nippy around town but underpowered on dual carriage ways. My driver, had to floor It to get to up to 60 mph.

I don't get why people don't like this car. OK the standard version looks boring but I have the 2011 facelift SE 5 door version in metallic silver and I swear it looks better than the current E model. If anyone is considering buying a D, seriously look at getting a 2010-2011 as they are fitted with the improved steering. I did my driving lessons and test in 1.2 petrol and my god, joining a dual carriageway at only 40-45mph in fourth with my foot right down is SCARY. The 1.2 is CRAP, honestly don't bother with it. The 1.3CDTI in mine is MUCH faster, faster where it really counts like up a hill. Last week the car nicely surprised me when it was able to keep up with a 2004ish Focus ST up a hill going from 40 to 65-70mph!. The gearbox (coupled with the 1.3CDTI) is great. Will do both 25 and 85mph in fourth easy! Very driveable at any speed. Like the man said, there is loads of space both in the front and back. The ride really is a good balance between comfort and sporty handling especially with the 16inch 18 spoke alloys on my SE. The only thing about the car that can really annoy me at times is the automatic windscreen wipers but luckily it is easily overridden. In light rain it doesn't know wether to keep them on or off but it does work in heavy rain and will adjust the wiper speed automatically when it raining cats and dogs. The auto headlights work flawlessly.

I know somebody with one of these (in the UK) they were told it was being built in Spain that was in summer 2008... they've still got it actually... it's got over 100,000 miles on the clock now and still running ok apart from a new clutch at around 80,000 miles :-) I didn't know they were also made in Germany but it doesn't surprise me there are other places they make them. The World is a big place! What is an RHD version please?

so which one is better this Vauxhall Corse or Hyundia i30

this car handles corners very well

May get a 3 door s model, looks nice!

Might buy one in the future when I am able to drive

Correct, but the Corsa is also made in Eisenach in Germany. I'm not sure where the RHD versions are made, but it's either there or Zaragoza.

Don't hate on him. He makes a very agreeable point. I'm a Corsa owner, and the seats are so bad to the point of me having to take pain medication after most journeys in the thing. It's a lovely car, but the seats are tiny, which isn't great for us broad shouldered lot.

would a 1.2 petrol be a decent engine or would you recommend higher?

If youre not up for paying the most insurance, get the corsa. Its cheap to run and insure compared to the fiesta for a 17 year old.

How much is it new?

my main gripe is the glove box, its tiny!!

vauxhall corsa 2009 is it reliable i want buy

Dose the Corsa have USB for music???

WAIT MATT WATSON ⁉️😭

Holy crap. I picked up my Corsa earlier, and I didn't know I could recline the back seats. Quite happy now I know that!

Cool, thanks for the info:)

I will get this in January hopefully

@Ciukyexacta Vauxhall is for UK, Opel is for Europe, both use the same cars.

Ironically, I have just traded in my 07 plate fiat grande punto for a 57 plate vauxhall corsa sxi. (I'm british by the way, born and raised) When did this turn into a decision based on ethnicity? All I said was that the features you get with the Hyundai (like bluetooth, parking sensors, cruise control as standard) really does out do what you get with the vauxhall.

I’m looking to buy a Vauxhall corsa 1.3 design diesel eco flex , is it a good idea to buy it ? Looked at the main problems with the car online and worried I mate waste my money any help pls

Not a bad car but I would buy the Seat Ibiza ecomotive because it is amazing on MPG!!!

I have a Vauxhall corsa 2006 and for longer trips I’m getting a Mercedes Vito 2010

Back then Matt didn't own many nice shirts.

thank you

They do fold flat I have to adjust the seat lift forwards and push forward the other part of the seats.

@234jari234 Opel is the name used in Southern Ireland and on the European continent for Vauxhall products. A Vauxhall Corsa is the same as an Opel Corsa, but just in RHD and for the GB market (Eng, Wales, Scot, NI)

And if you are 6.6 feet tall and 210 lbs weight will i fit to drive this car??? anyone with this kind of problem to give me a solution :D ??? thanks for the feedback

Gonna buy this

depends some do

I want this car!

I've driven an old Corsa (The Corsa C - My godmother has one). And it was terrible! The steering felt liveless, the power was missing and it was an automatic. Shifting was really slow and the gearbox was dimwitted! Hope this one drives better...

Love.this car

Does this car have esp as standard?

Also you what is the 1.2 Diesel like???

Man i want This car unfortunately Argentina doesnt sell they

I've driven a diesel one of these... Not bad!

I'm getting all confused with the name "Vauxhall" Opel Corsa or Vauxhall Corsa, Opel Insignia or vauxhall Insignia... Know what i mean?! Can somebody explain because it's really confusing because im used to hear Opel instead of Vauxhall.

Nothing wrong with the Corsa, great car

2019?

Yes i Know that, even Ford have a manufactue in Romania,but I was referring to something else...the brand is Germany made and i I'm pretty sure that although is assembled in other countries, the quality is all German

New shape is a tank so it's nice and safe and post 11 reg models are not underpowerd as the new shape are pre that. that being said you are probably best of testing both cars they are both food you can't exactly go wrong!

Bought my corsa d new five years ago its had a new water pump and front spring, now its failed its mot another front spring drivers side, passengers side top spring bracket " well dangerous" this car has been well looked after and only done twelve thousand miles.

Hey guys i'm turning 17 soon and will be buying my first car , can anyone with actual experience tell me is the Corsa a good first car or am I better of with the Ford Fiesta Zetec

Had one of these on hire the 1.4 but have to say that engine is very down on power. The car feels heavy and sluggish even around town. Fuel economy was poor, I never got more than 38 mpg, I hired a Porsche Boxster recently that returned the same figure. The driving position feels odd also almost too high and it is hard to gauge the dimensions parking. A far better proposition is the new Meriva with the 1.4 turbo engine, an excellent little car.

I wish Corsa had a turbo charger like VW's TSI engine. So it could reduce the rpm and get a better gas mileage even though it has a small engine.

I can only get a 1.0 Vauxhall corsa 2007 as I'm a new driver dam is it worth it or should I get a Skoda Fabia 1.2 60ps They're both slow but They're in Insurance group 1

iv got a 2007 vauxhall corsa 1.2 anybody else think they r sore on petrol

your wrong carbuyer. my S has a 1L 3cyl engine in and i love it, its quite nippy

i like the advert thanks.

He failed to mention the scratchy plastics and cramped rear space... But said "ample room" in the back when he looks crammed in!😲 Strange review. 🤔

same haha got my test on Tuesday though

I rented 2 door 5 speed manual trans. corsa for 2 weeks from Sixt and drove in France and Germany. But the engine is too small, it gets more than 4000 rpm when driving in 130kph, I had to refuel it many times. It sucks more gasoline than my Nissan Skyline 250GT I have in Japan. My Skyline with 7 speed automatic transmission gets only 2500 rpm when cruising in 130kph. Gas mileage is twice better. Small engine is not always fuel efficient, it won't get a good gas mileage when its on highways.

How to select return gear

is this rip of carwow with rip off/young Matt? (i can't quite tell if its him)

i love that wee car im 16 and im 17 next year in april and i might get this as my first wee car :) x

Maybe you should slow down then...seeing as they aren't racing seats, and if you stick to the speed limits then why are you slipping out, grease on the seats?!

Go for the Hyundai i30, you get more for your money and it will hold it's value better.

I have this car! x

Funny to see mat

I gotta agree, with SHIN BET, one way to prove it is to take your Vauxhall's badge off on the front, and you will see the Opel badge underneath (molded into the grille.)

Not trying to bash the car but I've heard story's about Corsa D's going on fire randomly.

i have 1 at the minute they r sore enough on fuel

Disagree, Fiesta looks worse then this :) (in 2004 it was other way around for me), at at 2000 corsa i like more :D A pillar to big? Meh, the C pillar (if that's what i think it is) on 3-door car now THAT is nasty for seeing dead corner (the corner you can't see in your mirrors), 5 doors is massively better in that. Plus in the front you see so much that it doesnt matter that the pillar sometimes hides something, you saw it before unless you were sleeping in the big front and side window, in the dead back corner that is another story. Lower powered engines 'sluggish' if you mean 1.0 certainly, 1.2 is absolutely fine unless you race, even at 120km/h (if you no longer speed up or down but remain same speed cruising) it's very nice sound and calm enough, not to loud. Feedback on engine is amazing. 1.4 is for racing ppl, it's nice to have but not necessary and this one looses out on power consumption where the 1.2 doenst (it wins so much in off road that the small city loss compared to 1.0 is completely compensated) the 1.4 looses big time in city and only wins incredible minorly (unnoticable on the petrol bill) on off roads.

@TheHornyHomunculus Corsa gets like 4500rpm at 130kph(80mph). I didn't calculate its gas mileage but I guess it was approximately 10km/l. It's not really good for this size small car. At 100km(62mph) it does 3500rpm. My V6 2.5 liter engine 250GT even gets 15km/l at 130kph and close to 20km/l at 100kph.

Really? I'm a 42 inch chest and have no issues that being said I am quite short

the 2006-present Vauxhall Corsa (United Kingdom)/ Opel Corsa is assembled in Zaragoza, Spain Eisenach, Germany

2:21 danm Matt was absolutely THRASHING it no need to get it that high in the rev range to over take the camera car just build up ur speed and put it in high gear

Peugeot 207 Or Hyundai I20

I drove this car as well, and never really found the pillars to be fat... strange.

get the honda jazz 1,4 ivtec 99Cv .

Did this man just say the Peugeot 207 is a better looking car??

Vauxhall Corsa? The last time I've seen a Corsa it was an Opel! O.o How come?

I want a car

Dude throws a small rucksack in the boot and says you got lots of space, that's like putting a mouse on a donkey and saying sure he can carry a load. Why not throw in a few large suitcases so we can really see what fits?

It handles corners really well. Ive got a b class rally license and take my other car down the track a lot while I use the corsa as a day to day car. The corsa I have is only a 1.0 engine but I decided to take it on some grass roots for curiosities sake. I'm so impressed at how easy it is to drift that little 1.0 around corners hahaha. I tried it on the road with a quick shift to second on a 90° turn from 60mph. I took that turn at 25mph which was pretty impressive and the traction on the front wheels held pretty well to bring the rear in line. It's a pretty awesome car for what it is.

Where do you live? Romania?

It says 14 thousand pound. What the heck! I can get bmw x5 with that price. I thought it would be like 1500£

I can't believe that in Britain this car would be considered a "family car"!!!! Holy shit it's TINY!!!!. How do you put 2 or even 3 suitcases in that tiny Trunk?? I guess it would require having your visitors taking the subway from the airport, so you can carry their suitcases, because I don't see how you can fit 3 Passengers and their suitcases. But I guess for us North Americans it's all about space and bigger vehicles.

hyundia i30

dont buy a corsa, ive got a top spec 3 door corsa with the 17 diesel engine that i got as a work car. the looks are neither terrible nor amazing and the 1.7 130bhp engine does pull well for the little car once you get the turbo spinning but the seats are the worst ive ever experienced in a car and are borderline dangerous. there is so little support that on several occasions i have found myself sliding out of the seat/off the pedals and onto the handbreak narrowly avoiding a crash, lucky...
