- It’s the battle of the superminis as we pit three of the most popular cars in Britain against one another! They say the best things come in small packages, well I found out which one of these is the best, covering looks, interior, driving and even practicality. Can the fun handling, fan favourite, Ford Fiesta claim the top spot, or will the practical and sensible Volkswagen Polo rain supreme? Perhaps the hight affordable Vauxhall Corsa will prove to be the class best thanks to its sheer value for money. Find out what I really think of these superminis in this Head2head class video!

3 years have passed, the polo and fiesta still fetch a few grand, that corsa is now worth 50p.
Brilliant for us, cheapest second hand car is the better of the three
Good for us used buyers xD
Chris Leake only problem is you’ll get called a nonce in a corsa
Owen W.02 😂😂😂😂 yet to see a corsa driver with a girl over the age of 15 in the passenger seat to be fair
Vauxhall depreciation joke.
Let's be honest here, who buys a small hatchback to carry 3 adults in the back, I cant remember the last time I saw a car with 5 adults in it. Cars like these are for people with kids.
Wouldnt say so, these cars are generally driven by the young ones - seem to be first cars of choice.
Rayaan Shaikh But even so they won't be worrying how well they carry 3 adults in the back. They're bought because they're cheap to insure and run. You buy a big car if you want a bug interior
It's an easy demonstration of size.
Plus, for comparison purposes it makes sense to test all cars the same way. No point testing the small hatches with three kids in the back then testing the larger hatches with three adults.
i have a 1.0 yaris (first car) majority f the time i have 3 adults in the back.
Or dogs!
Vauxhall have really started to up their game since 2016. The Astra was a huge improvement from the 2010 model, the Insignia feels quite premium and now the Corsa is well compromised and balanced. Well done Vauxhall!
Wait till you see the NEW Corsa, Astra and Insignia... mmmm yeah!
I've got a corsa 1.2 sxi and I love it to bits they are actually surprisingly spacious for there overall space
I always advise to go 5 doors over 3 doors. Even when you live alone or with 2. It just makes every thing easyer. Both with passengers and a bigger load
I have always been torn between the corsa and fiesta but always came down to what you get for your money and the Corsa always won for me. although if you want speed/acceleration, then fiesta is the go to. Never driven a VW polo,so I haven't got a scooby. Corsa's have always been reliable for me and if anything ever needed replacing, was always the more cost effective option. I learned to drive in a fiesta and it's what I always wanted but practicality had to play a role.
I now know I've been parallel parking wrong all these years. Thanks Matt 😄
The way he pushed them wing mirrors in at the end 😂😂

Lmao
I really like the Fiesta...especially in ST form...😁🔝👍
yep me too
Fantastic! My brother had been learning to drive in a Fiesta just like that one, they are very smart, all 3 are nice cars here, of course the Polos 1.0 3 cylinder engines are from the Up! Overall fine in a lighter city car like that but just a bit too unpowered for anything bigger, the horsepower even for small hatchbacks is best at at least over 80bhp.
Would be nice to see a city car one as well
Yeahhh !!! Bought in 2015 the 5dr 1.0T enjoy, wowww the engine omg so energetic smooth and quiet. My next car will be the other corsa. I looked it, not a hijack target, not pricey, solid, decent weight, I love it. I added optional extras such as navigation, advanced park assist, engine auto stop start standard and more std features. Lovely
I had a corsa 1.4 ecoflex was a decent car only got rid of it recently to a BMW 1 series would recommend it to new drivers definitely
I'm still in love with the fiesta, it would be my choice if the three, but how can you say the fiesta looks old when the polo is also old looking? Good video though😉
Everyone has a right to their opinion but the Ford Fiesta has shown me the most reliable vehicle from the others I drove.
I hear a lot of bad shit about the ecoboost engine but my experience has been fine
@@gamesmaster1060 you must to try the 1.5 TDCI engine with 95 PS and then you will enjoy a lot this car believe me. I have one of this engine but with stage 1, new sport distribution and K&N sport air filter. That's how i reached 130 PS with a torque of 265nm from 215nm. The difference feels amazing and the car feels very good. As for the exhaust, I have to change it and the suspensions need something more sporty and after that, I just want a free and dry road in front of me and everything will be perfect for me. The engine is very resistant for me. I didn't have problems in the last 2 years and that 20000 km what i drove them. The 1.0 motors overall are a big shit we know all this. This is the sad reality... :(
Naturally aspirated is still the way to go 👍🏻
I just got rid of my first ford fiesta 06 plate and after getting the 66 plate Ford Fiesta S, I'm 18 and 6'3 and surprised that I can get good head room and descent mileage of 46 and that is on the 1L EcoBoost and driving to my Part Time weekend job whilst being a Apprentice can get comfortable and drives nicely
Excellent analysis and loved the Wit - Thankyou
Makes me happy, literally got home after putting deposit down on 2016 Corsa SRI Ecoflex. Can’t wait to pick it up!
Can we have an updated version of this video? because both the Ford Fista and the Golf Polo got a facelift ( i'am not sure if the Vauxhall also got one or not).
Would love the communities opinion on vw polo vs seat ibiza - i kind of like the exterior of the ibiza more but is it worth it?
Volkswagen polo is amazing i own it and i m completely satisfied with my decision
Inderjit Singh Absolutely, even though not sure regarding the petrol engine the ones they got it here, but the diesel engine, wether it be 1.2, 1.5 or an 1.6, is absolutely fun to drive. May be they needs to test a diesel engine next time.
But what about the looks and handling?
Polo is best of them all..
Looks like shit
@@Josh_Roberts you're just a hater
It's about value for the money, I would go for the Corsa.
I think you need to define 'value for money'. Do you mean as for in the immediate or over the long term?
***** So much to consider ;)
Peter Russell terrible in what?
Value for money is in the polo by far, corsa depreciates so quickly
Dear Mat :-) as always great video but please do somethimes a drag race at the end ;-) thank you
I have a corsa 2015 exite and a fiesta 2015 ecoboost. The corsa just feels like a grandmothers car where as the fiesta is just about the most fun car I've ever had without collecting too many points on my licence.
Hirbod Pirnia AHEM NO DONT BE RUDE I OWN ONE MY SELF! IM NOT A GRANDMOTHER
Ye a ecoboost fiesta vs a corsa 1.2 for the average of course its gonna be more fun. You need to say a vxr vs a St then say that again.
People forget that those seats in the back are NOT meant to be used regularly. It is mostly for when there's no other way. It's like complaining on the rear seats of a Mitusbishi GTO; yes, it is meant to be more practical, but not by a lot. This is a car that is meant to be occupied by 1, two people maximum.
I’ll take the fiesta! Love the st line and the st
I had Fiesta 2013, sold it, bought N.micra 15 but I miss Fiesta. I love Fiesta. Super control and manual gear was butter
Ali Imran who the fuck buys a micra
my15 1.4 le 5 door corsa is really fun to drive over 4k rpm with manual done 30k miles coming up to 2 years in may and had 0 problems with it. i have a service plan and my first year of insurance after passing my test at 17 was £1200 second year 800 would of gone down extra 40 if i didn't get caught going 36 in a 30 then had to do a speed awareness course.
Come on matt...its a small car and you expect an elephant can fit in the back seat?
Any chance of a review of the 2017 Kia Rio, it doesn't have stand out styling but very comfortable and well built and great value for money
You need to do another group test between the new versions of these cars, even though the new polo will be the clear winner.
don't know why people buy these small cars and then complain about them having not a lot of room in the back??? just buy a proper size car!!
Good video,more like this please.
It was a choice between a Polo and Fiesta when i upgraded my car in January. In the end i decided to go with the Fiesta as it was an Ecoboost Titanium version which means better interior and more power. Same upgrade for the Polo would have been too much money.
what for a cambelt £1100
@@kenwarriner69 Can you explain a little more to what the heck you are in about?
Which hatchback/supermini should I get as a first car (any one of these 3 or any others)?
best interior = corsa
best exterior = fiesta
compromise = polo
C'mon now, Fiesta looks like absolutely crap, corsa prob has the best exterior, and again Fiesta has the worst interior while Polo's interior looks refined and full of quality. I doubt fiesta wins in anything but being sporty to drive.
John Kyon I agree
Pr0nneur corsa has horrible exterior! Just lool at that ugly face ripped straight off the adam, and those headlights look like they belong on it, and the back! Looks like it's been in a car crusher. If it looked a bit more Like the astra, then it wood be good.
I think that overall the class winner is the fabia
K_Q_ J_H skoda had a great design and very cheap for what is a polo. you have a great realiabillity rate and you can make it funny by changing the colour of the exterior and interior
will there be a 2018 version anytime soon? :)
Go with TSI Polo and it tops the others no questions. Feels so premium and practical.
I would take the polo
Rajesh Mistry I like Volkswagen Polo
So would i
The Gaming Master Why would you want something that's boring and slow?
The Gaming Master corsa
The Gaming Master if he had the gt tsi engine he would have loved it 😁
Could you do a new version of these cars - once the corsa is released
A question matt, don't you guys have a law in uk that forbiddens the rear window to block visability with items? because here in Portugal I think we do., and you always show boot space test until its maximum capacity
i’ve got a 2007 corsa and am about toy upgrade to a 2016 corsa!! love the car
I'm planning to 2007 corsa do you recommend it ?
Will you get the new Fiesta to review when it comes out
11:13, my favourite supermini won the test 😸
My 67 plate Vauxhall Corsa SRI VX Line is the nuts! Looks like a VXR inside and out
I used to have a corsa but ended up getting a 2.0l Turbo Insignia. The corsa was 5 years old and it was a VXR Edition but got an Insignia because i wanted to grow up lol. Reccomend it for a next car
Corsas are good because they lose their value quite a bit faster than the other two, with the fiesta being popular with tuners and the polo being a vw.
Just for curiosity, you should make the same test with the Fiesta ST vs Polo GTI vs Corsa OPC (or whatever name it has on Vauxhall, I only know the Opel's one).
Even though I'm sure the Fiesta ST would win, I may be wrong and btw it would be a nice review. Think about it Mat ;)
Hmm don't but on latest drag race of polo gti Fiesta st and gr Yaris the polo wins but the gr and st got more hp polo is lighter
Opel/Vauxhall is come back 👊👊 .
thanks for review good job
Hi, I like your videos, I would like to know if you could make a video like this, about small cars, but for the new models 2020. Thanks!
where do you do these recordings????? nice tarmac for a bit of fun....
The Corsa is definitly a really good car. I am driving one myself with an 1.3 CDTi with 95HP and 210Nm and OPC Line interior and exterior. Avg. fuel consumption is 5,3l/100km and I drive very aggressive. Especially on 215/45/R17 tires it just handels really good in corners and is really steady driving 200+ km/h.
HAHA! As an Opel driver, I love this video. Thanks Matt. I drive an Opel Adam, also a 1.0T, it's just lovely
@Carwow - Love u're vids but I'd love to see a comparison either - 5-door - 5 door same catalogue price or same price for what-ever-u-get + narrative (Polo Mark 5 - 2009 with FL) Fiesta (Mark 6 - 2008 + FL) and Corsa (m. 5 - 2014 - 2015). BTW TBH - you got two "super minis" on the market - Estate editions of Fabia and Clio. In this car segment those offer most - longer than seg. C HTBs, a good perception (bigger and still kinda new). I got it - there's no benchmark to compare all at once... But considering price, size, tech, design - I'd opt for any aforementioned Estates - Good luck with Carwow
I'm glad the corsa won the test as I'm hoping to buy one. I just love the shape of the 3 door version way better than the other 2 as well. Surely it must have a mpg trip display somewhere. As I haven't heard any body else mention it hasn't got it. It's basic info that you need to know
Can you do a review on the seat Ibiza Cupra 2016?
Adam R this please
All of these cars are hell to insure as first cars though
I'm a ford fan so i go with fiesta anyway :))
I’d have them all. I have a polo 63 plate and it has nothing to it except Bluetooth. Wish I could have spent an extra grand to get the 15 or over plate.
it’s 2021 and i’m currently stuck between 2016 Vauxhall Corsa, 2016 Ford Fiesta and 2016 Volkswagen Polo 🤣 (and a hyundai i10). I learnt how to drive in a Vauxhall Corsa and I am leaning more toward it to be fair!!
@Sem: What did you get?
What did you go for?
FWIW in March 2016 I bought a new Fiesta ecoboost 100 from dealer stock with a great deal (fast forward to 2022 and there's almost no such thing as dealer stock anymore and I could probably sell the Fiesta for what I paid for it - but it's a "keeper"); it is a great fun drive and it's on the optional 17 inch wheels which IMHO look really good and set the car off. My younger daughter is currently driving a 2016 Polo 1.2 TSI bought a few weeks back with 50,000 miles (about twice the mileage of my Fiesta). it's a much more "mature" car than the Fiesta with a notable upgrade in interior quality than the Fiesta and more modern dashboard display, infotainment system etc.. but it's the Fiesta that puts a smile on my face when driving pleasure is taken into account.
@@cmartin_ok I appreciate this reply because I'm super clueless ( I am infact still car searching haha!). So thank you!!
What did you get ?
You need to do one for 2018 versions for Polo and Fiesta
They have done one
Good times at Vauxhall.
What’s the most reliable brand in terms of things breaking and going faulty ?
Watching the review, I’m from Azerbaijan and didn’t even realise about flag until you mentioned lol good eye for detail there
Good review, carwow.
Good review. South Africa car shows came out with the same results
The skoda Fabia looks so sad.
Corsa us better between the Classic polo and the fiesta looks old inside.
Missing the Renault Clio and the Peugeot o to have the top 5 best selling cars of the last 15 years.
But now with the Kia Rio, can't have better value for money.
Ford Fiesta are everwhere i like the look of them bit they are just to common for me and the polo i like the best just cause of the comfort and you can get 1.2 tdi which has a decent amount of power for a first car. Then the corsa and ngl the new ones are decent but it'd still rather the german vw.
How do the new Polo and Fiesta match up now?
i believe you can get a 1L or 1.2L turbo charged polo with more than a 100 hp it's much fun !!
Don’t know if anyone noticed he was comparing the bottom spec interior of the fiesta with the top spec version on the corsa
You should yank on the other cars center armrests.
Opel all the way. Opel corsa 1.4gls is running for 16 years without any problems
when are we getting a 2018 version of this head2head video? :)
Are you going to review the ford ka plus?
Which would be best for students?
Fiesta is nice but the flat load bay in the polo is a huge win over. Not even considering the corsa, just no.
Need an update on this video what would you recommmend me between them in 2020?
I’m stuck on this too!
From the other reviews I found, the Fiesta would be a clear winner. Also the used Polos haven't depreciated at all and are rather expensive.
Greetings from South Africa. As a blind person I would prefer the Opel Corsa with the 1.4l 4 cylinder petrol engine and the 4th and 5th generation Polo and the Mk6.5 and early Mk7 Fiesta with the 1.6l 4 cylinder petrol engine.
How are you able to see what you are typing?
@@yandisamtshali7228 to put it simply, text-to-speech software
The fiesta's main downfall is the interior but i think the 2017 model solves that, i just hope it drives as well if not better..
Ooh Arhh the 2017's main downfall will be the exterior. Ugliest thing ever
AHCy0 I agree its not as sharp, the 2017 ST is the only model that looks okay imo.
I really like the vauxhall corsa limited edition the original white 3dr 1.2
the 1 thing that i hate about my corsa is that it dont have MPG display, when your watching your pennies it would be the greatest thing considering lots of young people purchase corsa's.
I agree i think that the Opel (Vauxhall) is better then the other 2 car's.
It has better look's and it has better interior.
The Volkswagen Polo looks like the same from 2010-2012 zero improvement on the outside looks. The interior is slightly better from the 2010 Polo, but the driving is better.
The Ford Fiesta is a good car, the front i think is better then the Opel/Vauxhall but the side and the back are really bad looking. The interior is nice, but not better than the Vauxhall/Opel, but the driving i think is better than the Opel, but the Opel's engine is better then the Ford's. Overall the winner here is the Opel (Vauxhall).
Sloane square haha. Regent and Bond are posh as well
great video
And don't get me started on that stupid little black extension to the 3 door Corsa's rear window line on the C-Pillar. Added just to differentiate it from the old one but it's totally ruined the side profiles' sharp lines.
If you left the polo's boot floor on the bottom then put seat back down and you too would have a big seat lip so no no flat load space
Most colorful Head2Head ever!
Do 3 and 5 door models have same boot size?
I want to see a review of the new Toyota Yaris
Armaan Chowdhury It's not new, it's just the really old model with a new face.
Try it now again
My dad has the opel (Vauxhall) corsa 2017 and it's so fun I love when my dad gives me a ride I love Opel (Vauxhall ) well done Vauxhall (Opel)
can you please make a review for the new honda civic 2017
@carwow can you do a head to head a Toyota Camry and a Honda Accord?
I like how this video proves Vauxhalls aren't always terrible cars sometimes they can be really good
Why were the Skoda Fabia or the Hyundai i20 not considered? :O
Personally, coming from a vauxhall corsa for my first car to a VW golf mk6 gti (huge VW fanboy), if i could go back in time, id probably still change my mind and pick the fiesta for my first car, dont think you get less bias than that 😂😂
I had fiesta 1.6 tdci and that was so powerful in comparison to other 1.6 engines. Unfortunately had to get rid of that due to so many ecu problems. Now I own vw golf 1.6 tdi and polo 1.2 petrol. Golf is nowhere near my fiesta. And polo is slower than me walking 😂. Anyway my wife drives polo 😂
Ok I'll throw in my comments based on facts of actually owning and driving all three cars, and not just stuff that I've read. First and as I've said many times and written here on TH-cam (and agreeing with Matt) the Corsa is the best all rounder of these three, as it does feel biggest inside, its very reliable, the ride is comfortable enough, its just good at everything without being class topping in anything and for that reason I'd recommend people to buy one. So, breaking down my own findings based on what I have ACTUALLY owned (present or past) and drove with two of them being brand new cars:
* Vauxhall Corsa Club 1.4 auto (2009 car) - I drove this for 3 years, never any reliability issues with it other than a 'niggle' which was the windscreen wiper would make an audible knock when at full swing almost like it was too long, fuel consumption was average, comfort was fine and not soft or hard, interior room was very good, it was an excellent all rounder and for looks then I would call it a good looking car without turning heads.
* VW Polo Match 1.4 auto (2012 car) - I drove this for 3 years after the Corsa, never any reliability issues other than 2 replacement windscreen wipers and 1 blown headlamp bulb, it felt a better quality and had a classier inside than the Corsa, it had more solidity of build than the Corsa, comfort was fine without being too hard or soft, fuel consumption was excellent with 62mpg on a given run longer than 30 miles due to its 7 speed DSG box (and I am from a part of the country without motorways), its a superb car and class leading in terms of solidity, its engine is smoother than the Corsa and made the latter feel like an arthritic wheezy slug on the road, but one 'downside' for those that I am aware make an issue of 'looks' then yes I agree the Polo is a dull looking box on wheels (but I don't care in this regard).
* Ford Fiesta Edge 1.4 auto (2012 car) - actually this car was second hand is my wife's and has been owned for 2.5 years, however I've driven it many times particularly when she has wanted our Seat Leon with it's increased room for our adult children and grandchildren, it's proven reliable, fuel consumption is average but nowhere near as good as the Polo, comfort is very good and not too soft or hard, interior room is okay but doesn't feel as large as the Corsa, and as for looks to me its stunning indeed the prettiest of these 3 by miles but there's so many Fiesta's on our roads that I doubt they turn any heads.
So in summary I would state that all of these 3 cars are excellent cars, none is outstanding in all points, but if you wish for an excellent all rounder go for the Corsa, if it's build quality and superb mpg its the Polo, if its comfort and good looks then has to be the Fiesta. If the money is available and you can make any choice then I would go this way: 1) Polo, 2) Fiesta, 3) Corsa. However, I stress none of these cars are bad cars and I would not argue with anyone who selected differently unless their main criteria is for the looks and I have never gotten that one but maybe I am more mature in years than most who argue in this regard. One deciding factor could be for those having second hand cars and here thinking of ease to obtain parts from say a breakers yard I would imagine the choice would be: 1) Fiesta, 2) Corsa, 3) Polo.
Thank you, Paul
Dahlia Man I agree the polo is bets for MPG comfort and quality. I have not seen a corsa though but with the older models before this one they were shocking Amdahl dealers were selling them brand new for £6000
Chatta290 As on said I wrote on experience of actually having owned and driven them all and that's that. However, I did not say the Polo was best for comfort and I feel I gave that to the Fiesta. Personally I have never heard any horror stories with any of them and I am from the UK.
Dahlia Man I am also from the Uk and with potholes and driving at high speeds the polo is far better, more insulated less wind whistle whereas the fiestas chunky wing mirrors cause a lot and the suspension is far more suited to less ideal road conditions e.g. Pothole covered roads. The polo has far better quality aswell not to Mention the depreciation is lower then the fiestas why because it's a VW
Chatta290 Very well put, and I forgot to mention depreciation which of course would be another factor to consider.
Dahlia Man yeah my parents bought both in 2014 valued at the same and this year with the same milage the polo was worth around £1500 more so that shows the VW depreciation tactic is true and its because its a more desirable brand
Guys, how about a renault clio review?
let's be brutally honest, the fiesta looks the best out of these 3
I think it looks the worst of the three. An ugly egg shaped thing with messy lines and angles. I think the Polo is vastly more pleasing looking.
@@moonwhistle The Fiesta here might win it, but that's only because it’s the ST-Line model. They should have used a fiesta without the body kit, like the Corsa and polo.
If they're gonna use an ST-Line, then it's only right to use the Limited Edition Corsa and Polo R-Line. The Polo definitely looks the best in the R-Line trim by far in my opinion.
"Bugger all kit on it." lol
I'd get the new Suzuki Ignis, its top of the range model is similar price to these and is much more funky and fun
