For The Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi 95 ecoFLEX S AC S/S is surprisingly refined and gets a welcome power hike over the 75 ecoFLEX model. S (AC) trim gets six airbags, an adjustable steering wheel and air-conditioning as standard.
Against The 75 ecoFLEX version might be down on power, but it costs less to buy and run. You have to pay extra for stability control and alloy wheels.
The Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi 95 ecoFLEX S AC S/S is worth a look if your mileage is high. However, we’d go for the lower-powered ecoFLEX model in Exclusiv (AC) trim.
When it came out, the Vauxhall Corsa was What Car?’s Car of the Year, and even now it’s still an impressive little thing, offering great value for money.
The Ford Fiesta and VW Polo have overtaken it at the top of the class, but its blend of space, quality and refinement means it’s still up with the best.
The Vauxhall Corsa is quite a heavy car, however, so you’re best to steer clear of the smallest engines, which struggle once you’re out of town.
The punchy 1.3 diesels suit the car well, but they’re expensive to buy, so we think the best balance overall is the 1.4-litre petrol engine. It gives decent performance at the same time as returning more than 51mpg on average.
Similarly, you’re best off avoiding the most basic trims, which look rather spartan. Instead, go for the mid-range Exclusiv with air-con, which supplies the best balance of kit and cost.
