Vauxhall Corsa SXi 1.2i 16v 3-door

Please cast away all impressions forced upon you that Vauxhall make rubbish, or boring cars – I will admit that they haven’t always been the most exciting car manufacturer in the world, but the new Vauxhall Corsa really is a fantastic car. Having owned the 2 of the previous models (an N plate and a T plate, the latter housing the V grill), I can definitely say that the newest version has improved immensely and Vauxhall should feel proud. They are no longer producing ‘boring’ cars, that griffin and V logo/badge now represents remarkable quality and style. The VX220, Vauxhall’s Elise class sports car is a highly desirable car, and ...  Read the complete review

~ CONNIE IS THE WINNER ~ I've had my baby for about eight months now and love it. Connie my Corsa came from a Hartwell's garage in Bath and I purchased it back in March this year. After passing my driving test in early march I was anxious to get my first car. To be honest I never really liked Corsa's the old ones just looked naff and I also thought they were the ultimate 'chav' car. People around where I live buy them and but stupid mismatched bumpers and body kits on, they looked horrible. When I went to Hartwell's that afternoon I was looking at a newish blue Renault Clio 1.2 when I noticed this in the corner. Connie was on sale for £3,999 and looked ...  Read the complete review

I bought a 2003 vauxhall corsa 1.2 sxi for my girlfriend and thought i would write a review about it. The exterior of the car in my opinion is very sporty, it came with alloys, colour coaded bumpers and mirrors and has a lovely design which just makes this little hatchback so popular The interior again is very nice and benefits from a cd player, twin airbags and electric windows. The dashboard has some nice silver decals and this is also visible with the chrome topped gearstick (nice little touches) For a small car it is suprisingly spacious inside even the boot area was bigger than i expected. The engine is suprisingly nippy for a 1.2 ...  Read the complete review

The very first car all my friends bought was a vauxhall Corsa Sxi. I can now owned tell you about this car and at the same time let you all in on a little secret, it is fantastic! Initially i had reservations about Vauxhall as i had heard they were unreliable and badly built, however after a test drive in both the new corsa and the astra I decided that at least the build quality was not true. Both cars felt very well screwed together, no rattles, squeaks or groans. The interiors were made from top quality plastic that looks just that, not like some of these new cars that roll off the production lines, not mentioning any names, some just look like they've ...  Read the complete review

I have owned a 53 plate facelifted Corsa SXI for around 14 months and it was my first car, so i thought i would share my views on the car for anyone interested in buying one. Iv broken it down into the key categories that i feel every car buyer will be looking for: Performance: The 1.2 16V engine is actually very nippy for a 1.2, reaching 60 mph in around 12 seconds, although i feel they have underrated this in the official figures as i have achieved comfortably sub 12 seconds. However this may be due to subtle modifications such as a K&N panel filter. To get the best from the engine, it does need to be revved hard but it doesnt get ...  Read the complete review
