Vauxhall Corsa reviews

Great car to drive! Would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable little car that will get you around and put a smile on your face whilst doing it. It does lack power on the motorways but makes up for it on country roads and whilst town/city driving. Comes with a touch screen media player (Apple/Android play), you can easily link your phone and use navigation whilst also enjoying your favourite playlists via the iPod or Spotify. Lastly the fuel economy is great, I can average around 60mpg whilst city driving and around 52mpg whilst cruising (cruise control) on the motorways. Would recommend to anyone.

PROS: Fun car to drive about in, fast, comfy recaro seats, looks good CONS: appalling build quality, incredibly unreliable, not long lasting, any more than 50K on the clock stay a mile away as they begin to disintegrate.  I have fitted a complete new gearbox, clutch and flywheel (£2500) head gasket is leaking, rocker cover is leaking, boost problems, air mass meter, engine mounts gone/knocking, had both rear shocks replaced, both front top mounts, coil pack went, handbrake ceased up and wouldn’t apply, probably more that I can’t remember or haven’t got round to yet, only had it 18 months!!

I had a Vaxuhall Corsa C '06' 1.2 Twinport and for a 12 year old car when I got it, it was great! Low mileage which at first was a good thing, but keep reading! For a small car typical for first time drivers these days, it sure was nippy! For a small car it was surprisingly roomy, boot was a little too small to fit a pushchair with wheels intact but this was only on occasion when friends were visiting so we'd pop one of the seats down if needs be. The car did have a few faults towards the end of last year for one that was 12 years old it's to be expected, water pump, oil pressure switch, starter motor, alternator. But looking back service history wasn't great as my local garage said those servicing check over everything, keep it clean and working well. It's like not servicing your boiler, it will break down quicker! Recently purchased a Corsa D 13 plate, much nicer upgrade!

purchased the car from new first body panel fit problem then niggles but it was fully serviced and I complained of intermittent miss fire at 22,420 miles coil pack replaced but a mere 870 further miles broke down in France on a Sunday evening and had to be transported to nearest town with garage problem was diagnosed as air flow sensor.Since replacement has run ok.This incident happened on the 24 June 2018 car was under warranty until 3 rd July 2018,Vauxhall Customer Care will not pay for repairs as it was not an Opel dealer [did not have knowledge of one in area] I have explained mitigating circumstances but both dealer and V.C.C.have a blaise attitude as if you should know the Opel network perhaps I was unrealistic expecting the car to be reliable so after only 24,000 odd miles and having full service history by Vauxhall garage I have no faith in the car.Sad as I have had 5 Vauxhalls, Belmont and Astras but something is amiss with the company .I accept it is a cheap car,but come on it should operate as intended .This episode has worn me down which seems to be V.C.C. modus operadi J.Ford

This was a very easy transaction the sales guy Robbie was brilliant from start to finish.

Owned the car for 3 and a half years been very reliable and is an ideal car for short journeys the seats are not the best and I would not like to sit in them for a very long journey,it averages about 37 miles per gallon and is quite a nice car to drive,I am looking at buying a 1.4 model as the 1.2 is not the best on motorways for attempting overtaken.

The car we went to see was a pile of junk we only went to see this car because of the AA involvement you need to look at who you sponsor

Excellent little car.It is 0ur forth one. Recommend it to anyone.

Yes, I have driven 'her' for 15 years and so far she has never let me down after a failure on the automatic selection gear about 11 years ago. Although 'she' was two month's out of the guarantee period. Vauxhall they put it right without any charge. Since then 'she' has been A*. When 'she' has to be changed I would certainly choose another Corsa as 'she' has been 99.9% reliable - what more could I ask for than that?

Had a Vx Corsa for a few years now and had no problems. My next car will also be a Corsa.

Lovely little car not very powerful but great as a second family car

Reasonable car, good build but some poor designs. Light switch difficult to access. Severe reflection on windscreen. Control panel not best layout during fast driving - no time to look at controls. Had Ford Fiesta 1.0l as courtesy car. Twice as nippy, far better acceleration then my 1.4l Corsa. Radio/CD no good as road noise far too loud. Ride too harsh and noisey on poor roads compared with other cars. Next car will not be a Corsa

good runner, always reliable. only problem is indicators don't stay on if you have moved steering wheel very slightly and then other drivers think you haven't bothered!

reliable small car

Has been reliable, economical - very good mpg, and low road tax. Didn't like dash reflection in windscreen at first, but don't notice it now.

A fairly new car, this was a great purchase. It is reliable and very efficient in terms of running costs. It looks great, a sleek black body. I live close to a very reliable and trustworthy dealer off whom I bought the car and so I have it serviced each year to ensure that it remains in good condition. It is a great car in every sense. I replaced the Agila I had with this corsa. The Agila was another great car from Vauxhall.

Great car, economy driven choice. Two minuses are the blind spot all Vauxhalls seem to have on right hand side of the screen. Also its very slow to accelerate which causes issues with overtaking.

I have drove a corsa for many years and the only failing I have had is broken front springs .i do not drive excessively fast nor go over speed bumps and holes in the road fast so I suspect that the springs are made of poor quality steel but otherwise I love my corsa

Pretty good little car; very reliable and comfortable to drive on both local and international journeys.

i bought my corsa year and half ago....and ever since then I have been very happy with it. However, I did break down once. I would still recommend this wonderful little car - very versatile as hatchback - everything I need except could do with air con. Runs extremely well, lovely gearbox and engine is superb.... responds quickly and very quick off the mark too. Easy to manoevre and park. Absolutely sticks to the road, including tricky bends and corners. All in all lovely little car - dont regret buying it at all - although would be even better with a larger engine.......
