Long term test review: Vauxhall Corsa - pictures

By:Auto Express team

Go to: Long-term test: Vauxhall Corsa (2014-2019)
  • Vauxhall Corsa LT header

    We're finding our Corsa tackles the miles with ease, so we're thinking about gearing up for a Continental road trip to see if it's up to the job.

    We're confident our Corsa can tackle a European road trip with ease after surprising us with its comfortable ride on long drives.

  • Vauxhall Corsa meets Corsa VXR

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Like many things in life, less is more when it comes to the Vauxhall Corsa. The racy VXR flagship is fast, but it can’t match the everyday composure and all-round appeal of lower-spec models like our wel

  • Vauxhall Corsa - long term

    <p class="p1">We've covered over 8,000 miles in our supermini, but long motorway journeys have been comfortable. Six gears mean it's a great cruiser, too.&nbsp;</p>

  • Vauxhall Corsa - long term rear

    <p class="p1">Handling is decent on back roads, but the Corsa has impressed us most when cruising.</p>

    Our Vauxhall Corsa doesn't have split-folding rear seats, so packing four passengers in with all their luggage is an issue.&nbsp;

    Trying to pack passengers' luggage into the boot of the Corsa is a bit like playing a game of Tetris.

  • Boot space expands to 1,090 litres, although a 50:50 or 60:40 divide in the seatback would make it more usable.&nbsp;

  • Rear provides decent space for adult passengers, although Excite can't even be specified with split rear seat as an option.

  • The handling can't quite match that of the Ford Fiesta.

  • Dashboard design is a vast improvement over previous car's, with IntelliLink touchscreen adding smartphone connectivity.&nbsp;

    Our Vauxhall Corsa is the 1.0 Turbo model putting out 113bhp, in Excite trim.&nbsp;
