Vauxhall Corsa reviews

Excellent car for the money apart from the suspension which is very poor; the car bounces around whenever the ground is uneven.

This is my second vauxhall corsa. A 1.4SE - an absolute pleasure to drive, comfortable, economical and very reliable.

My Corsa is pleasant to drive and very reliable. It's a great car for getting from A-B and that's all I (and most people) need a car for.

I do not use main dealers to service my car, I do not trust garages either, so do it myself. My car does a lot of miles and has never let me down. Now I have said this it is bound to break down

Three door car is ideal for two people but it is awkward moving front seats to get passengers in and out of rear seats.

Nice little car, as long as you don't drive uphill. It's embarrassing how little oomph it has. Have to change down to first gear very quickly to have any hope of getting up the hill. Had 1100cc cars before without this sort of problem. May consider going up to a 1300cc, problem is costa go up as well!

My 3rd diesel Corsa but my first Eco flex engine. The most economical car I have ever owned, a 5 year warrantee and no road tax. Wonderful customer service from my local Vauxhall dealer and a car that's a pleasure to drive.

Overall I have been very pleased with my Corsa my only complaint being that it is not powerful enough - I should have gone for a bigger engine. For running around town, to and from work and to the shops it's great. However, on the motorway it lacks power, making journeys longer, more tiring and uncomfortable. It's lack of power is also a problem when climbing hills, particularly when fulled loaded. All that said, it is a lovely little car, reliable, spacious for it's size and comfortable enough on short journeys. It's size makes it a doddle to park and it's reasonable to tax and insure.

Vauxhall changed the wonderful streamlined Corsa shape and cute headlights to something resulting from a liaison between a Renault Megan and the old Corsa - giving us the big bottomed Corsa - I wouldn't buy one. My last car was also a Corsa - the best feature was people in a fast car would pull up alongside thinking they would pass me like I'm standing still - oh you didn't notice it was GLS sport - Byee. I'd accelerate away from them like it had a rocket up it's tailpipe - of course they'd pass me a moment later when I stopped at the road speed level and they'd cruise past doing 50 in a 30 area. Corsa's don't give a smooth ride, every dish, every bump every eyelash on the road - you feel it. It's not cheap and the road tax is horrendous even though it has low emissions. I only bought another (second hand) because I like what I know.

Great little car - have had it for 4 years and driven all over the country with 4 "Big" adults but still great mpg. Only downside my diesel Corsa hates the cold and can be a nightmare to start first thing in the morning in winter

I bought this car from an MOT tester. He said the previous owner was going to scrap it because they wanted a new car. He said it was to good to scrap, did it up and I bought it for £300. It's a brilliant little car. Has some minor scuffs which you'd expect. Its easy to work on( no computer failure here!) and I've saved the environment from yet another wasted scrap car. All round winner

I've had my Corsa for over 18 months now and feel satisfied with the quality of experience it provides. My only slight issue with the car is my fault in that I would have preferred a 5 door model but one wasn't available at the time of purchase.

Got this car a year ago and cant fault it reliable, comfy drive, fit lots into it in fact good little motor down graded from a bigger car as this is cheaper on road tax, insurance and petrol would definitely recommend to others

I find this car very responsive, quite firm suspension, which I enjoy.Excellent road holding. Very comfortable. A little disappointed with the fuel consumption, but that may be my heavy foot!! Surprising amount of room, both for passengers and luggage.

I have had this car for 5 years and have never had any problems with the car. This has included being driven in the snow and ice and has handled better than my husbands VW Golf. Will be really loathe to change as any replacement car will have to be exceptional especially with reliability, running costs and comfort - only drawback is the small boot space.

I have had this car for over one year now and I am very satisfied with it. I have had Corsa cars before and always found them reliable. This is the first Automatic I have had and wish I had changed years ago

My car is quite old now, but it has serveed me well over the years, I have it serviced once or sometimes twice a year. It is not good on mileage, but as I don't do much 500o a year it suits me. Road tax is horrendous but again for what i use it for I pay £245.00

I'm quite happy with this. I recently drove the 1.2 newer model and it was very heavy and sluggish in comparison. space is good and it's quite comfortable. would have liked some better included extras on an sxi though. seems to do ok on fuel

Only one battery change needed in 13 years No other major faults experienced Good reliable little car

Comfortable practical car but had recent fault with spark plugs which cost £220 and should not happen to a car of this year. All good otherwise and nice to drive.
