Advantages: Stylish car, nippy for a diesel, comfortable interior Disadvantages: Gears quite stiff, suspension.
We bought a new VauxhallCorsa CDTi last September. Having looked at several different types of Corsa, we eventually opted for the 5 door CDTi Design (diesel).
Looks and Interior
Since its original launch in 1992, VauxhallCorsa has evolved quite considerably. The latest models look sporty, stylish and nippy, with upmarket interiors and intelligent key features.
There are quite a few colours to choose from in the new Design range. These are as diverse as 'Flame Red' and 'Sunny Melon' to the simple 'Glacier White'. We chose a more neutral colour with the 'Metro Blue' variety, but there is certainly something for every taste.
Our car comes with 16 inch alloy wheels as standard and benefits from smart leather trim seating inside and leather-trim steering wheel. Vauxhall have put a lot of thought into making interiors ...
the corsa's a good first time car when you just pass, It looks nice but hellish to drive, The car feels crude. Unpleasant gearbox, a lot of things went wrong with it, Seats very uncomfortable, hard to sit on with limited support.Awful reflections from the dash in the windscreen.Since i got the car in 2007,i've had re-conditioned engine ,new gear box,new clutch,new breaks,failed its m.o.t twice just had to pay 350 jan there for it to pass an m.o.t cos the ball joints a lot of other stuff were damaged, the car is an 05 corsa with 1 previos owner ,i bought it from an arnold clark store, a trusted one as well,
Things that have gon wrong with the car:
Intermittent spluttering around 2,000 rpm in mild weather (approx 16 degrees C).
Rust on driver's door hinge at 30 months old.
Glow plugs at 15,000 miles. Fault occurred the day I collected ...
Advantages: cheap on insuraces, and tax Disadvantages: not the quickest cars aroung
The VauxhallCorsa is an excellent car for a new driver as it has cheap insurances (group 1-2) for the 1.2i models very cheap to run on fuel even through the cost of fuel is rising, very safe little cars as long as you drive them how they should be. I have had my Corsa for 7 months now and nothing has gone wrong with it even though it is coming up to 100,000 miles. If you search around you can get very good deal I got mine for £800. If you get a Corsa which was made in 1997 or new then they will have the ECO TEC engines in them which always helps with the petrol. There are many different types of Corsa out there so make sure you get the right one for you.
If you are looking to modify your Corsa then they are easily modified. ...
