The model
Read full reviewThe Vauxhall Corsa is a competent small car, but isn’t outstanding in any area. It's not as comfortable or as pleasant inside as the closely related Peugeot 208, not as fun to drive as a Ford Fiesta, nor as spacious as a Volkswagen Polo. It is at least well equipped and not too expensive in our recommended trim.
The trim
See full equipmentIf you can stretch your budget slightly, we’d recommend going for the mid-range GS Line trim. If you do, you’ll be getting lots of standard equipment, including 17in alloy wheels, electronic climate controls, rear-parking sensors, LED front fog lights, automatic high-beam, a sport mode switch, a 7.0in digital instrument cluster, electronically adjustable/heated wing mirrors and some sportier styling elements.
The engine
See full engine specsWe’re yet to try the entry-level 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine but expect it’ll be a little sluggish. In fact, the numbers support that theory, sporting an official 0-60mph sprint time of 12.4sec. If you can, we’d suggest that you upgrade to the 1.2 Turbo petrol.
