This car has cost me an arm and leg to run first of all mpg excellent tax cheap but what you save you pay out on repairs first common fault leaking foot wells which not good for the electrics then the stupid gear box semi auto it's ridiculous to repair well over £2000 and machanics tell you worse gear box ever made. Think twice about semi automatic version

This has been a fantastic first car, having driven it for 8 years and almost 100,000 miles there have been no problems whatsoever, not even a new clutch. Even more surprising since I'm quite heavy on the accelerator! Acceleration is nothing breathtaking, but it's more than adequate and the car feels "nippy". In terms of practicality it's obviously not going to be great for a large family, although saying that the car was spacious enough for me and 3 friends to go on holiday with a suitcase each! Great car, would recommend to anyone, I hope the next car I buy is as reliable!

I wanted a small, efficient, low cost car with a bit of "oomph!" and that is exactly what I got!! Half way between a 1.3 {75} and a 1.7, this car is the ideal solution to the fine line balance between performance and running costs. Now the down side - as I am on the petite side the car is fine for me, but with a partner and two sons over 6ft, and two daughters over 5ft 8 headroom can be a problem, but as this is my little runaround we all just pile in to the family car for long journeys.

The new Corsa is a joy to drive. Its very spacious and comfortable for a small car and is ideal for both short and long journys. It has the feel, in terms of space of a larger car and the ride is comfotable, yet it feels secure in the bends giving you confidence when driving.

I have had my Corsa for 9 years now & have been very happy with it. It has been totally reliable & the only major repairs that have been needed have been the result of going over the deluge of road humps that we have in the area I live in. Although it is only a 1200cc engine it is speedy enough for my in town driving. I am going to change my car next year but intend to get another Corsa :)

The new vauxhall corsa was a bit of a step down from my new Mazda 6 TS2 saloon brought about by my change of job and much reduced mileage (dropped from 2500 miles a month to 400). Yet I find the car easier to drive, very reliable, easier to park and cheaper to run. I am 6ft 2 and have plenty of room and comfort in the car and family have also commented that plenty of room in the back, having travelled to cornwall on holiday. The only issue I have is the boot space is too small, but that goes with having a small car.

Although not the fastest of cars, my Corsa is reliable, economical to run and stylish. I would totally recommend! With an annual road tax charge of £30, who can complain...

I am very pleased with most aspects of this car. Performance is good, fuel consumption reasonable. Passenger space and comfort is ok. I particularly like the heated front seats and steering wheel not available on many cars of this size. The boot could be bigger and somethings are difficult to fit in. Such as pushchairs. The indicators can be irritating if they dont self cancel. Doing it manually can start off the opposite sequence. Glove box not big enough. Only one problem with noisy EGR,emmission control, valve.I had to complain three times until dealer decided there was a modification kit. Still noisy at times. Recent recall for lack of drain hole in bonnet. Being dealt with. Some rear panels poor fit.

Cheap to run e.g. cheap to insure, fuel economy and servicing. Wide dealership network therefore no problem with parts.Does nothing particular good nor anything badly either. Perky engine but can be a bit noisy at speed.Easy to drive and park. Handles well. Reasonably comfortable up front, not too bad in the back. Boot is quite small and not much storage. As car is nine years old only has a driver's airbag.

Small is beautiful and although small cars are ever expanding it's fair to say the manufacturers really think about the product. We have a Corsa diesel with lots of decent equipment (Air Con, electric windows, multifunction steering wheel) decent build quality and cheap to run. The handling is really impressive and for a short burst of speed the willing engine gives decent acceleration around town. The only gripe is the demist function is a little slow but it only means an extra five minutes to demist in cold weather. However, this is a minor inconvenience in an otherwise brilliant car. Our other car is a BMW and the Corsa is every bit as good - top quality, top value and an overall top product. Vauxhall should take a bow!

My Corsa is a stylish and practical car, which is capable of far more than I ask of it in terms of performance. I can cram huge amounts of stuff into it thanks to the brilliant curved design of the hatch. It's easy to park, holds the road like glue (as have all my Vauxhalls),and the seat is supportive and comfortable throughout long journeys. My only complaints are that the fan makes the car vibrate too much when it comes on in hot conditions, and there is a loss of sideways vision when moving out from a righthand kerb because of the shape of the bodywork behind the rear windows. I have been more satisfied with my Corsa than I expected and I plan to keep this little car until it falls to bits!

It is entirely my fault, but when going from my previous Corsa to my present one, I didn't take into account that the body on the new one is larger and heavier. Consequently, it being a 1.1, I find it much more sluggish when I pull away. However I have no complaints about its travel once cruising and it is very comfortable and reliable.
