Great car for a learner or, like me, a first car. Low running costs and excellent fuel economy for a petrol (averaged 48mpg over 2 years). As a single person the Corsa does all I expect from it, with enough room for the occasional short break and enough punch in the engine to cruise down the motorway. It's still fairly stylish looking for an old design. What puts me off buying another is the number of niggling problems: creaky suspension, seat sliders are stiff, radio on/off button doesn't work well, gearbox needs a firm hand. They aren't major problems that NEED repairing, but they are a little annoying nonetheless. However, I will be sad to see her go, and I suppose that says a lot.

It's easy to see why the current generation Vauxhall Corsa was a firm favourite amongst car critics on it's debut. I'm just a little surprised how well the Corsa continues to excel over it's closest rivals for ease of driving, refinement and build quality - even amongst the newest contenders (considering how good the competition is!). Having test-driven nearly every small car available (at the start of 2009), I found the Corsa to be the best all-rounder at the best possible price, which is why i opted to buy it, above all others. The SXI 1.4 Litre Petrol is easily the best of the range. Vauxhall will definitely be top of my list when i consider my next choice of car.

Corsa 1.4 Sport bought new .Nippy but no power steering so its a bit hard to manoeuvre as I get older.I like the shape and its fast enough for me in my early 70's but I would buy something more economical when I have to. Only real problem is rusting on the rear boot which I should have reported when I suspected it. This was a manufacturing fault .Low mileage so its got some life left in it

Deadlocks not working correctly and engine has occasionally run on three cylinders for a few seconds. Nothing shows up on the fault codes hence the garage can not rectify the problems! However nothing has stopped me driving and it is very likely that I shall replace it with the same model

I have had my corsa from new and apart from servicing and a flat tyre nothing has gone wrong with this car, it is very reliable and economical and would definately think of buying another albeit with a bigger engine as the 1.2 can be a bit underpowered at times

Reasonable styling but let down by inability of the dealer to rectify a fault which took about 5 visits over a 12 month period. The subsequent refitting of trim after the work is still and always will be ill fitting.

Looks smart, drives well but has too many rattles for a car that is only 2 years old. Even though it's a small diesel, economy is nothing to write home about either. Has been very reliable so far.

The Corsa surpasses my expectations . I could not find a fault and would buy one again . The only snag is the cost of dealer servicing but I just use my local garage their loss not mine.
