Come on then, tell us about the Vauxhall Corsas you've owned! Did you learn to drive in one? And what do you think of the new one? For our Corsa-e video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NjtnaIQGrls.html And for the Peugeot 208 and e-208: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yulmqv6vkI4.html

Looks nice! I still have my corsa c exclusiv spec just clocked 67000 miles has heated seats and climate control all I need atm. Does seem pricey the new corsa but I'd definitely consider the electric corsa if the range was at least 300 miles.

@jijidinpipera 4 года назад

First of all, in your video is the 6th generation Corsa, not the 5th one. Second, I currently own a 2019 Corsa ( the fifth generation) and I am very happy with it, it's simply very well built. I owned a 2005 Opel Corsa (third generation) and it was strong and reliable as a tank. I just changed the old Corsa with the new one because I wanted a new one with new functionallity. I strongly recommend for daily use. You can drive up to Vienna as well..

Rented one for a week in Austria and it was the first time I'd drive a Corsa and was was impressed. Fuel efficient, great handling and confident on the motorways. If you want a vehicle that does the job without nonsense, bling, or expense seems a great choice. I'd buy one.

Please enlighten us on any small car or even much more expensive cars that does have a lower middle console that is not made of harder plastics.

The styling is great

@bstar079 4 года назад

The corsa is less revolutionary than the 208, but i think many people a just looking for practicality and clean styling without sci-fi gadgets and the rejigged ergonomics of the 208 (ie. the lower, smaller steering wheel). The leather seats on this trim level in real life are really nice, tick that box, and the large infotainment screen is nicely integrated. This car is a huge step forward from its predecessor. Faster, more efficient, and better proportioned. I think its definitely worth a look, and I'm pretty sure it'll come in a fair bit cheaper if you compare it with the VW group cars with like for like specs.

@Tdr-jv2nc 2 года назад

@stephandolby 4 года назад

Top Gear Magazine said this is the most fun Corsa ever, VXR included, but you need the auto to make it properly good. The only thing really letting it down (for them, that is) is the interior; the climate control rescues it, but it's not exactly a hardship to press the relevant piano key in the 208 to get to its own system.

@itsallrobbish 4 года назад

Rear leg room looked really generous. Does it feel as solid as the previous one? Is the gear lever sloppy and flimsy like in some other Peugeot’s? To be fair to Peugeot, they’ll know how to make them efficiently and profitable.
