I have driven both the Corsa & the Fiesta. Both are equal in my opinion when it comes to driving them however the Fiesta cannot compete with the Corsa when it comes to the interior. The old-fashioned 'nokia' style interior of the Fiesta is trumped by the Corsa's more refined Intelilink system.
The Corsa is a decent car, just look at how many are used by the driving schools and rental car companies. It's not as enjoyable as some others, but it does what you expect it to. Most of us drive shortish distances in urban areas and it's a car that does this adequately.
thats true regarding taking ages to demist the windscreen. i drive a 2001 corsa c 1.2 and it takes forever to demist, plus ice forms on the inside which is very annoying.
I have one and it's a real pleasure to drive. I don't know what the negativity in the comments is about. It looks great, drives great and is reliable. Seems like the comments are filled with ford fiesta fans who are bashing the car because it is seen as competition ( I've never looked at it that way, ford fiesta are rather unpopular here in Lebanon).
I have an Opel (vauxhall) corsa and my mum has an audi A1. I actually think that the interior of the Corsa is better. The A1 may look sportier with leather seats and all... but that's it. The dash is one of the dreariest ever. I actually don't recommend the A1. It's a really good car but it's also a bit overpriced considering what it has to offer. You could get a mini for that price, which is faster, more luxurious and better looking.
I have Corsa 5dr, SE level, diesel (95hp) registered in May 2015 and it has split folding (40/60) of back seat and back of it isn’t metal but upholstery (same as floor in boot). So not all of them are like this one.
Hey Matt, it's really nice of you to say your height in meters! You guys could also say things like fuel economy in both systems, miles per gallon and mp / km per litre.
The split seat is such a useful thing, it's bizarre that Vauxhall have chosen to omit it so far up the range. The flat boot floor and fold-flat seats from the previous car were one of its strong points.
History, Vauxhall was an established brand in the UK. GM bought them way back and started producing 'Opels' there, but no one knew that brand, presto, the Opels were called Vauxhall. Probably the same story with Holden. On the island of Ireland it's pretty messed up. Ones registered in the South (Republic of Ireland) are badged 'Opel', the exact same car on the other side of the border in the North (Northern Ireland, part of the UK) has the Vauxhall badge.
I have the same 1.0T 5dr that i bought new in 2015. Looks exactly the same as this and those rims. Mine has rear split seat. I also have those rather cheap seats. That 1.0 engine is really really good. Very quiet and is willing. It is very strong and feels good than the Polo 1.0 engines with sluggish sound especially when going harder on accelerator. Corsa 3 cylinder is refined. Now i have 94 000km on the dash and it still feels so good and smooth. Am very happy
I've sat in a couple of the older models ones, and I found them so cheap! The whole gearbox column would move. This one looks a bit better inside, but I still rather go for the Fiesta or a Polo (Which I own)
Out of all the reviews I've seen for this car, the Onstar system fails to get a mention almost all of the time. A feature that other hatchbacks don't have. The Onstar system acts as a free Wi-fi hotspot for your car, plus Iphone and Android mobiles can connect to the screen on the dashboard. Basically, I can stream music all the time without using the data on my phone. The model I've purchased also has a hill start assist system and the clutch is easier to use than the car I learnt to drive in (Ford focus Zetec 2012). I have also driven my older brothers new ford fiesta red edition which is also a great car. Admittedly his car has far more power, the seats are nicer and it has a rear view camera for parking but he is paying roughly 60% more than me over the next three years if you include insurance and servicing, on top of the finance deals. The reasons for buying a Corsa over other hatchbacks really comes down to the cost, but the features aforementioned really do make it an enjoyable car to drive and a great first car. I'm really looking forward to picking up a limited edition model this week.
I just watched a review of a BMW i3, had to laugh, no connectivity to android phones available but it will to i phone if you cough up an extra € 300 for that. Onstar looks good value then.
What about the spare tyre? No mention of this and noticed some cars not putting them in as they add in stupid repair kit instead. No spare tyre would be a deal breaker for me.
I have the old one. Put almost 3000 miles on her since mid October and I love it My friends moan about the lack of rear doors. I've had 23 years of 4/5dr cars. I have seen the new one once or twice and haven't had a sit in it
I feel theres something wrong with me , because I rather like the way it looks compared to the "old" crosa which looked alot like the Hyndai I20 . Funny story when I rented a Corsa I accidentally tried to unlock an I20 parked near it with the same colour.
"The material is so cheap and nasty and rough that if you rub your hand on it, you can actually exfoliate your calluses away"🤣 Mat is funny and very easy on the eye
I don't believe that it could be driven aboout 30 mph in 6th gear normally with 1,4 engine with only one turbo....if it had two turbos, the low-end torque would be good while smaller turbo labours.
Is it just me that thinks modern cars are getting bigger and bigger all the time! The Corsa is supposed to be a small car But that is anything but small... It's the same with every class, hatchback, saloons, coupes etc.. the size of Britain's roads are not getting any bigger than they where neither are car parks, or the parking bays! I know people say it's because of safety. But compare these cars to there 90s equivalent and it's mad.
This actually does look better than the previous generation but not as good as the Adam. And there's still that element of white good/fridge on wheels about it. Still it's a long way away from the Nova.....personally 6 gears in a supermini seems excessive but as I drive an Eighties supermini (a Nova) with just 4 gears and zero fancy-ass electronic stuff...this is a limousine by comparison. And I second Josh Rowlands. Sorry. The presenter is a cutie :P
I think that the heating buttons look terrible on this lower spec model. I'm suprised because Vauxhall usually doesn't do these kinds of flops unlike the Japanese manufacturers.
I have (Opel Astra J 2016 1.6 cdti 136 hp J 68000 odometer) and I have problem I start engine first (when it is cold) it sound loudly but it becomes normal when it hotter than first ignite. I went to Opel service and they said that you had better change timing chain. it is so expensive and this problem is prevalent if you want to buy Vauxhall (Opel) think once again. I'm tired of opel's problem. İt is so weird when car is 68000 odometer need to change timing chain.
Funny how it still has the same indicator stalks as the most expensive Cadillacs do...lol GM...I wonder how many other pieces their cheapest cars share with their most expensive ones.
As far as I know the steering wheel module is shared by _all_ current GM vehicles. Its quite noticeable, others tend to reuse parts where customer doesn't see them constantly...
Yeah, part sharing strategy...keeps the cars nice and cheap (for the manufacturer). VW is the proud grandmaster on this aspect. There is things like the gear shifting gate on the current Bentley FlyingSpur is actually the same as the ones on 15 year old vw/audis...
I have a request for a potential review. I would like to see the BMW M4 Gran Coupé being reviewed. Another, more unlikely request is a comparison between the Audi A5 Sportback, BMW M4 Gran Coupé and the Mercedes CLA or CLS.
I don't get why GM hadn't use new chasis from Chevey Aveo. It's even beter than Corsa in terms of space inside the car. Chevrolet Aveo hatchback review - CarBuyer
Oh dear, the new nose makes it look like Denver the Guilty Dog, while it hasn't hit every branch on the ugly tree, I'm struggling to say that it's looks are an improvement. Omit the new 1 litre engine and it sounds like you're buying same old same old.
hello at moment I am driving a Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTI 2011 thinking of geting a 2015 car the new shape vauxhall 1.3 or a Peugeot 208 1.4 HDi 2015 ...think they are about the same size car but which is best ??? any ideas thanks )))
It's a bit of a running joke that Matt's height seems to change in this he's 5ft 11 in a more recent one he says he's 5ft 10.5. Whilst the difference is very slight, so too is the variance in the legroom in these cars with an inch or so making a big difference. Wouldn't it be better to get measured and state how tall you are?
I’m looking for my first car and i learnt in a Renault Clio signature nav but they are mad expensive. So, I’m debating on a Renault Clio dynamique nav, fiat 500 or a 2015 sting Corsa. But, my hearts set on a Clio. But, i like the interior of the newer Corsa. Idk what imma pick lol.
Hi mate. Is there any particular reason my 15 plate Corsa has a slightly different interior? For example, my model doesn't have the same monitors as the ones shown in this video. It's a newer shape model, too.
+Corey Hughes I have the new corsa sting 1.2 which is a lower model than the standard corsa and it doesnt have the monitors or air con so it could be a lower spec variation of the corsa
I had a Corsa before one of the older models and never again. It was the worst car I had ever owned and was so happy when I got rid of it. The horrible gears, noisy gutless engine and it even started leaking rain through the footwell. Even if this model is a big improvement the rivals do it better and this looks boring as well.
Argantonis It probably is. It's a shame that those in charge at the GM/Opel plant in Spain (where this five-door Corsa is built) didn't bother to move the fuse box while converting the car to right hand drive for Britain. This problem used to be typical of PSA Peugeot Citroën, but apparently it's affecting other manufacturers, too.
It wouldn't be that bad if Vauxhall wasn't percieved as a British car maker. I know the perception is far from the truth but still. It's a minor little detail, but so is rectifying the problem.
Disappointed that after 8 years in production now they didn't bother to re design the platform! feels like a bit of a cop out to me... Not that I'd ever consider owning a modern Vauxhall in a million years anyway.
agreed, Vauxhall should've redesigned the platform and not have been so lazy. But i've see GM do far far worse with the eighth generation Chevrolet/GMC Suburban, they didn't change it that much for nearly 20 years (1973-1991). GM isn't gonna do something that stupid again.
Did BMW 1 series bother to redesign the platform after 10 years on the market? Nope. BTW I like how plenty of English people think the French cars are quality but hate Opels lol... Why? They are pretty good since Insignia I reckon.
I don't like it! The car that replace is better looking! The front grill is to small and narrow and the lights are... I'll be gentle and say very weird ruin the whole front... The back lights are more Meriva then Astra but could accept it. The interior is quit nice but this is not enough!
First glance at it from all angles and it looks like a Fiesta but The Fiesta looks better.. this looks like a Fiesta wanna-be, However i prefer the dashboard of this new Corsa. I think the Fiesta may be a better car though still considering this new Corsa has the same old chassis and running gear as the older Corsa. Who knows though because i have never driven either one of these cars yet
It's not really good for the engine or gearbox to run at 30mph in 6th gear unless hardly any load on the engine. Probably best to stay in 5th untill 40mph.plus must be a close ratio gearbox so 6th is the same as 5th on a 5 speed
Graham Reid he didn't say it as offensive, i mean, he probably is, or are you saying that saying someone is gay equals offending them as gay is bad? you're the backward here XD trololol
Super_Slav The fact we've had two over six years (one 10 years old when we sold it) without a single fault would beg to differ. Also, considering nearly everything mechanical in Jeeps was Mercedes until 2011, they can only be as reliable as Mercedes lets them!
Also they have clearly left room for a facelift model in a few years time. For example the front fog lights that are currently facing at a downwards angle at the end will then change to the angle going upwards in the facelift model.. Hence the term "Facelift" This is a common marketing trick purposely done by manufacturers to make the same model of car look "fresher"and therefore attract more customers back that can get one over on their friends etc by having the newer looking model.. But it's just a marketing gimmick. so I'd wait for the "Facelift" model in about 3 years time before buying one of these.
Without having planned it, I have to say that I own two cars, both of which were bought a month before they were replaced, and I wouldn't trade them for the world! My Corsa has stolen my heart!
Hmmm, I get corporate nose's but the Adam front end just does'nt suit the Corsa! Lets hope this does'nt spread to the other Opel/Vauxhall's. Also the Fiesta is nigh on unbeatable this gen, Ford has a tough job in replacing it in 3-4 years time!
Yes, upto 2.5k cheaper, with those cheap materials throughout, I can see why :o( This is the first ugly car externally that Vauxhall have made in a long time :o( I do like the interior design but can't help think that those side vents look like they are crying ;o)
Doesn`t matter so much how the car looks. It`s actually made to be a city car? think at how economic might be this car and cheap to run. If you want a fancy car just buy an Audi, BMW, etc, Stop being so rude...Overall a very good car
Actually it looks aggressive and it is looking great. Mine is 2015 1.0T and has split rear seat. Energetic, luxury features such as blind spot sensor, engine auto stop start, advanced self parking assist that you can't even find in 2018 VW Polo. And engine super smooth and quiet. To me it looks perfect.
the front looks good but the back looks like a badly squashed astra and that 1.0 3cyl turbo engine sounds all good with 115bhp there about but its £30 year to tax which is not alot but compared to the 1.0 ecoboost engine in a fiesta with 125bhp is £0 free to tax even renault's 0.9tce is £0-20 tax even on a sandero its the same so really its a bit of a poop engine
So you moaned about the size of the A pillars on the corsa d . But the corsa E. Has the same size A pillars. So why not moan about them.? Is it because its a new car and you have had a bung from VAUXHALL?????
There really isn't much of a WOW Factor in the Corsa, yes you can get a heated screen but Ford have had that in their cars for many years, nothing new, should've been in the car many years ago. Not cool.
"Vauxhall has tuned the steering specifically for the UK". Bollocks. This car is sold as the Opel Astra throughout Europe. I don't think they would endanger sales for the UK.
I have driven both the Corsa & the Fiesta. Both are equal in my opinion when it comes to driving them however the Fiesta cannot compete with the Corsa when it comes to the interior. The old-fashioned 'nokia' style interior of the Fiesta is trumped by the Corsa's more refined Intelilink system.
just drove this car, its very enjoyable. feels very smooth on the road
in metric system you don't need to say your height in 0.5cm accuracy. 1cm increments are small enough. *flies away*
cut him some slack will you, he's used to measuring length of things in fractions
In penis size we do that hahaha
Um he is british...
Listless a lot of brits also use cm for height! me included, it’s mixed up here 😂

Impressive how the Corsa's interior rivals the much more expensive Audi A1:s.

to be honest, ive driven both the Polo and the Corsa quite a bit, and i prefer the corsa everytime..i doesnt look really good, but its a fine car
Thanks for using metrics and adding "Opel" in the title!
...adding "l/100km" to mpg would be awesome too.
nemanja milosevic / / /
My corsa that is 1998 the room is unbelievable in the back I had a 6 foot 2 man in it and he still didn’t touch the seat in front!
By the way I've always wondered why they need those different brands (Opel/Vauxhall/Holden/GM) to sell the same lineup of cars.
Different countries know the brand by different names
History, Vauxhall was an established brand in the UK.
GM bought them way back and started producing 'Opels' there, but no one knew that brand, presto, the Opels were called Vauxhall.
Probably the same story with Holden.
On the island of Ireland it's pretty messed up. Ones registered in the South (Republic of Ireland) are badged 'Opel', the exact same car on the other side of the border in the North (Northern Ireland, part of the UK) has the Vauxhall badge.
Yes! I definetely prefer the metric system.

Who knows though because i have never driven either one of these cars yet
5ft 11ins.!Yeah,of course you are.
At 3:00 quality doesn't look great to me
Anyone know what automatic transmission oil this car uses?
Nice interior, same body like FIAT Grande Punto.
I always imagined Mat was taller back when he was giving his height in moonspeak! 1795 mm isn't much taller than me!
What's wrong with a single-piece folding seat? All my cars have had 60/40 splits and I've never needed them.
review the citreon cactus.......trust your reviews matt
Vauxhall, do something different with the Corsa!
It's not really good for the engine or gearbox to run at 30mph in 6th gear unless hardly any load on the engine. Probably best to stay in 5th untill 40mph.plus must be a close ratio gearbox so 6th is the same as 5th on a 5 speed
Everyone i know that had a corsa had a head gasket blow
Really? What about now??
Mat is hot
Josh is gay
fisephalnoxt its 2014 fella get a grip.
Graham Reid he didn't say it as offensive, i mean, he probably is, or are you saying that saying someone is gay equals offending them as gay is bad? you're the backward here XD trololol
***** With a name like Brian you are clearly 12yrs old.
your entitled to your opinion.
You should review the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT.
I'll sum that review up for you to save time: it's a useless, hateful piece of badly made shit.
***** It's pretty awesome actually and under cuts its overpriced rivals quite nicely
***** The exact same could be said about your opinion.
***** They are so unreliable, nothing but problems. JEEP, just empty every pocket.
Super_Slav The fact we've had two over six years (one 10 years old when we sold it) without a single fault would beg to differ. Also, considering nearly everything mechanical in Jeeps was Mercedes until 2011, they can only be as reliable as Mercedes lets them!
Also they have clearly left room for a facelift model in a few years time. For example the front fog lights that are currently facing at a downwards angle at the end will then change to the angle going upwards in the facelift model.. Hence the term "Facelift" This is a common marketing trick purposely done by manufacturers to make the same model of car look "fresher"and therefore attract more customers back that can get one over on their friends etc by having the newer looking model.. But it's just a marketing gimmick. so I'd wait for the "Facelift" model in about 3 years time before buying one of these.
Without having planned it, I have to say that I own two cars, both of which were bought a month before they were replaced, and I wouldn't trade them for the world! My Corsa has stolen my heart!
the best car in class. actually, the only good car in class.. (next to swift, if u dont need a boot)
Hmmm, I get corporate nose's but the Adam front end just does'nt suit the Corsa! Lets hope this does'nt spread to the other Opel/Vauxhall's. Also the Fiesta is nigh on unbeatable this gen, Ford has a tough job in replacing it in 3-4 years time!
Yes, upto 2.5k cheaper, with those cheap materials throughout, I can see why :o( This is the first ugly car externally that Vauxhall have made in a long time :o( I do like the interior design but can't help think that those side vents look like they are crying ;o)
Doesn`t matter so much how the car looks. It`s actually made to be a city car? think at how economic might be this car and cheap to run. If you want a fancy car just buy an Audi, BMW, etc, Stop being so rude...Overall a very good car
RetroGamerVX how are you
The limited edition looks lit tho !!!!
I don't think its ugly but not a big fan of the design but even then it looks decent
Actually it looks aggressive and it is looking great. Mine is 2015 1.0T and has split rear seat. Energetic, luxury features such as blind spot sensor, engine auto stop start, advanced self parking assist that you can't even find in 2018 VW Polo. And engine super smooth and quiet. To me it looks perfect.
Mat you have an issue with your height...just tell people you're 6 foot 1 inch and you'll feel better.
I want this, so bufff
Not bad but I'll stick with my Vauxhall John Pope Special.
1:29 haha, but i have no idea what is 5' 10.5" is...
the front looks good but the back looks like a badly squashed astra and that 1.0 3cyl turbo engine sounds all good with 115bhp there about but its £30 year to tax which is not alot but compared to the 1.0 ecoboost engine in a fiesta with 125bhp is £0 free to tax even renault's 0.9tce is £0-20 tax even on a sandero its the same so really its a bit of a poop engine
Here I think im being frugal by riding my sport bike to work that gets barely 40 mpg....
how you guys never review a toyota car?????
So you moaned about the size of the A pillars on the corsa d . But the corsa E. Has the same size A pillars. So why not moan about them.? Is it because its a new car and you have had a bung from VAUXHALL?????
Finally metric :D
Looks like they tried to one up the styling on the new ford fiesta.
My god how they've failed.
I never liked the Fiesta. I don't see how it can conpete with the Corsa. It's just ugly and dreary to look at. This one is way more stylish.
Minsk, Belarus detected :)
Not a fan of this Piano Black plastic all car companies from Vauxhall to Mercedes are putting in their cars
Give a Doug score to this.
its gonna be something like 43/100 (that is if doug was reviewing it)
There really isn't much of a WOW Factor in the Corsa, yes you can get a heated screen but Ford have had that in their cars for many years, nothing new, should've been in the car many years ago. Not cool.
"Vauxhall has tuned the steering specifically for the UK". Bollocks. This car is sold as the Opel Astra throughout Europe. I don't think they would endanger sales for the UK.
Argantonis Corsa, Astra, Insignia, are all developed by Opel in Germany and adjusted from Vauxhall for the UK.
+honda900000 Yes of course.
