On The Road
The 1.2 petrol engine are best avoided if you are likely to put this car through its paces a bit by taking it on the motorway or fast at all for that matter as the Corsa is no lightweight. I have heard that the 1.3 diesels, especially the two most powerful versions, suit the car well but are quite expensive, so if you can afford it I would recommend buying the slightly upgraded engine size and change to a diesel if you want to go anywhere up hill on make any head way on a motor way at all.
The Corsa can pack a punch but always feels completely in control, this is due to its fantastic suspension and handling is really great in this car, visibility is the only issue I could find with the way this car drives as the external mirrors of the car are as good as useless as they have obviously been built with style in mind rather than practicality due to the tipped end which makes seeing out of them a near impossibility.
The Corsa feels and drives like a refined car the engine is largely quiet and sleek not making much impact but almost gliding past the world as a ghost might but when you do put your foot on the accelerator a bit harder you will feel it.
Inside
The Corsa is a spacious car on the inside perfect for the taller driver, it feels comfortable and relaxed and not like in some cars where you feel like your out in the road which is rarely fun. It has a clear easy to use and pick up control system which you will pick up fast on and all the dashboard is easy to find your way around.
Four seats in the three door car allowing more room for the back passengers, therefore with a family of four this car will provide plenty of space but little boot room.
All in all a great car to own and with a competitive price and reasonably low insurance not an offer to miss.
Summary: A good car
