I have a 2007 Corsa D 1.3cdti 75hp. Almost at 150.000km in 2021. Wonderful (not so) little car. Really impressed with it's reliability, fuel economy and general build quality. Also still like the design. After all these years, still looks like a modern car. I would recommend it.

VW polo with 200 tax is crap, my 2011 Excite is £30 a year, timing chain! Smooth as a butter, superb suspension. I used to own Golf plus 1.4 and that was terrible! Rubbish mpg, slow as slug, so don't know why people saying crap about MK3 Corsas it's a great car.

I have one of these. Grand little car. Bare bones, reliable enough for my liking and fine in around the city. Motorway driving definitely isnt something it likes. I mean really, its a cheap car but for what you get its good value imo Good review!

Thanks for the review of the Polo and the Fiesta. Conclusion: both might be better...

The corsa is a decent Car, great for first time drivers.

Air con on but the fan wasn't blowing. ;) I used to have one of these but a 3 door 1.2 Active D which I bought new in 2009 and chopped it in last month (after 92,000 miles) for a 2017 Corsa E 1.4 SRi VX Line. The weight of the car is too much for a 1.2L engine, so would never recommend getting a 1.2 (you really have to hammer the engine to get up the gears on slip roads, with say a relatively full load and the air con on etc) but would recommend a 1.4L upwards which are very quick. In fact Vauxhall don't do the E in a 1.2L, only a 1.4 up. You'd have to get a Viva or Adam to get the 1.1 or 1.2 engines.

They did do the E with the 1.2 In ltd edition, when they first came out.

VW s and Ford's creak after 50.000miles too -why pick on Corsa - at least its cheaper second hand.Had a nearly new polo on hire on holidays once and gear lever came loose on motorway so much for VW quality!!

Only Corsa worth having has always been the Corsa B gsi.

@RedlineRevs 5 лет назад

I don't want to knock working class people owning this car, it does work as a cheap way to get around, but most will be better off in an older and cheaper VAG polo / ibiza / fabia if I'm honest.

@andrewwright. 5 лет назад

@@RedlineRevs agreed.

@forza223bowe5 4 года назад

I found the corsa to be very smooth but underpowered

@RedlineRevs 4 года назад

I thought it was smooth enough, till I drove the polo side by side!

How much is it in south African Rands ?

@hopefulstories2179 2 года назад

@@siyamkelemtshekisa6975 around 45k to 80k rands for a good used one.... with decent mileage !

@Birmingham_racing 5 лет назад

I don't think they are bad cars just not appealing at all. There's my other cars I would rather buy

@RedlineRevs 5 лет назад

They're not bad cars, but there is also nothing exceptional / exciting / special about them. I found driving this round it didn't feel as good as an older polo.

@mz4ever123 6 месяцев назад

These cars are too prone to head gasket failure. Same engine used in Astra H & Corsa D both gone after 70,000 miles. Better to go for Japanese.

1.2 engine is gutless seats rock hard driving position far too high steering wheel far too high , after driving for an hour right leg/ knee hurt, glad dont have one any more the 1.2 LTD EDITION , they do have problems with coil pack and suspension, reliability is good , anybody that says they are good to drive obviously has not driven many cars

@kristianspencer1978 8 месяцев назад

Iv owned 50 cars over 27 years, and now own a 2014 ltd edition. Love it, the looks and specifications of a vxr but not the running costs. 52.3 mpg currently. Best of 57.6 mpg. £70 vpower lasts for over 500 miles.👍

@dontpanicblink 8 месяцев назад

@@kristianspencer1978 na, vxr seats are not the same, recaro ? but i do admit the the ltd editon does look good mine was white, black alloys and roof,

@user-vh3cx6xy3i 3 года назад

Well that’s like the lowest spec corsa so obviously it wouldn’t be the best compared to a vxr or sxi/sri

@2002georgezacharia 2 года назад

Are used ones ( say 10 plus years worth ) ..say something used by 1 person with 150km mileage...I know Honda last for life ..lol 😂 but not sure of opel

@alexhickey5633 2 года назад

I'll tell you what happened to my one. I owned it for 2 years, brought it up to 155k km. The timing chain and head gasket went about 6 months apart. I put 2 coil packs into it, the original opel one stopped working, the second (spurious) one i put in lasted maybe a few months. Threw a genuine opel one into it and that worked fine til i sold it. Chances are, when you buy a corsa with this mileage on it, itll have a lot of the problems weaned out if it. Faults ive seen on other corsas are the timing chain, oil pickup pipe blocking, head gasket, lambda sensor, catalytic converter blocking and various knocks coming from the engine itself. Mine used to sound like a diesel when it was cold but that went away when it warmed up. Never had electrical problems with it. What can i say, it always got me home. One thing I'll add is always keep a jug of oil in the boot. For some unknown reason to me, these just burn oil for no reason and randomly stop doing it. Hope this helps
