5 Things I hate about my car | Corsa SRi 

They're all pretty minor gripes TBH - if they're the most annoying things, then it's a pretty good car. The reverse - hell, you need some safeguard against accidental reverse selection. Volume - use your ears. Who cares what the percentage is? Is it loud enough or not? The rest of it is more trivia. I'd love my car to have such trivial faults :-)

This is the most ridiculous video 😂

am i right- i don’t think uv been driving long

The reverse is there and has a button to make it hard and annoying so you don't put it into reverse accidently while driving I will agree the volume is annoying My car doesn't tell me when to shift There is a draw under the passenger seat, and I often use the backseat drinks holder makes it a bit harder to get to but keeps it out the way of the gearstick The bonnet catch is on the passenger side because the Opel corsa is made in mainland Europe and just rebranded to come over here

The size of the glove box, can’t even fit my log book in that 😂😂

As a young man in 1997 I had a 205gti and it was much more basic than your corsa. I was grateful I even had a car. People say it was a classic but in reality it was a piece of shit compared to your corsa. We could wake up 1 day and all this crap could be gone. Fukin iPhones, tablets, Alexa and all other pointless shit we rely on. Hopefully that doesn’t happen but it would make a interesting social experiment 😂good luck with your channel dude, no offence intended ✌️

"For example in Mercedes" you are in a VAUXHALL CORSA NOT AN S CLASS. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. And in regards to the bonnet lever, Vauxhall and Opel are the same company. Opel make Left hand drive cars so it's normal in 3/4 of Corsas sold

Aw I like having the button for reverse, it’s way better then having to push the whole stick in, in order to change it to reverse I think personally. Completely agree with the cup holders though and wanting to go into 3rd😂

Agree about the cup holder. No chance going into gear 3 with maccies in the car...

I have the exact same model, nearly all of these seem ridiculous. My top 5 things I hate about it are: 1. 1st gear is practically nonexistent 2. The speeds you need to change gear are nonsensical (which the shift light really helps when you start out) 3. The steering column often feels like it's pushing my foot off the clutch when I turn out of mg drive 4. The bonnet lever being on the wrong side 5. The layout and features of the center console (mostly just how old it all is, but also the problems you mentioned with the cupholders)

The volume should increase the faster you drive the car

I know this is old but should've mentioned how long the window takes to de-mist, it is legit a pisstake.

There’s a shark in the glovebox so it’s basically the best car ever made

4:07 mate, the glove compartment

The bonnet lift is on the passengers size because it uses the same chassis as the american version where the driver sits on the left, that's also why the glove box is so small.

not trying to be funny, as I think this shape of corsa is really nice. But surely I would hate the stigma of driving a corsa, as they have a rep for being driven by plonkers, and for picking up young girls lol

cant stand the car telling him what gear to be in but wants to know how loud the stereo is 🤣

"fuck off , ill shift when i want to shift" im dead

Hey guys does it have the same problems as the vxr 4th cylinder etc..? Is it reliable or its just the same engine with same engine problems?

You can switch off the shift light mate, dead simple look up personal dashboard settings for corsa and a video should pop up

Get a Corsa C. There's a little cubby hole to the side of the steering wheel where you don't have one. There's a cup holder area in each door pocket and one between the seats which doesn't keep the cup still but isn't in the way. I installed a dual pop out cup holder tray in another cubby hole I have below the stereo. Plenty of room in the glove box, another decent size of storage near the cigarette lighter which includes a little lid. My bonnet latch is on the drivers side. I can see my volume and I don't have a shift indicator. The only problem I have is the reverse gear but that doesn't bother me.

Always fancied a mk2 golf, had a mk3 vr6 and a corrado g60 loved them dearly. Nice car mate looking forward to the next vid.

bonnet catch is on the other side because your legs are moving around the footwell while you use the pedals and it's to avoid your trouser leg catching on the lever and popping the bonnet mid drive 😅😊

I have a same corsa but my corsa have 6th gears and the 6th gear is on that “reverse” spot

Hello love the videos bro I’m just wondering if it’s cheap to get insured on a sri for first car or would you recommend something else

I'm surprised he didn't talk about the indicator, that thing pisses me off in my corsa

Gear stick it is a safety feature in case you go into reverse by mistake radio volume I agree as for the shift light on dash saves fuel making sure u r in the right gear saves the engine reving to high at 30 mph I am in 5th And the latch just reach over

Is your passenger handle wrapped as its sharp?

I have a corsa what i hate about mine is the warning in the middle of the vents every time i try to change the angle of the vent the warning lights come on cause I've pressed the triangle in the middle

The volume thing pisses me off aswell! Have you not got storage under your passenger side seat?

Did you ever notice the drawer under the passenger side seat? It's where I hide my stuff when I get out 😂

I only noticed the shift light last night 🤣

Reverse is in that place because some corsa engines have 6 gears so it would be a waste of time and money to do different gear knobs

why dont you chnage to 4th to better fuel economy rather ur engine revving more and get rid of that light if it bothers you that much

Minor things! I agree on the lack of compartments. Also minor but stupid is the suggestion of changing gears as it is not even at a high engine rotation. Also I often get into the reverse /1 st issue. My wheel is on the left so no thing weirs with the bonnet opener

Do all Corsas have the reverse in the top left position? Because that's really changing my mind about buying one!

The shift light on mine does not come on untill 4750rpm roughly

For your 3rd problem, to fix that turn off eco mode in the top right of your centre consol

Bonnet release lever is on passenger side so if you scare passenger they just pull lever and slow you down when bonnet skelps the windscreen

is the seat not set to high even when at lowest setting

My worst car ever was a 2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 3dr Energy. It was my first car however so couldn't really expect much. Being an energy model I was lucky enough to have alloys, metal door handles, and electric windows. 😂😂😂😂 An absolute beast with a furious 59 horses under the bonnet, said no one ever. It was horrendous, very sluggish, not that fuel efficient, extremely tinny, had a paint job that was flakier than my dad's feet, soaking wet driver's footwell, failed both MOTs in 2 years of ownership, and still cost me nearly 200 pounds per month to insure during my first year. 3 months after passing my test the head gasket blew which was a common fault on those eco-flex engines, so the car went to scrap heap heaven without a teardrop or a kiss goodbye. I leased a 2016 Corsa for 3 years afterwards then went on to buy my current car, a 2012 Jaguar XF. Much better. 😁

In my 2013 Corsa there is a hidden tray compartment under the front passenger seat

There’s a tray under the passenger seat, and most cars have the bonnet lever on the passenger side

Bonnet release catch is on the driver side in my 52 plate corsa :S

Here’s what’s actually shit about the car: 1. No temperature gauge so u don’t know if your engine is overheating and fucking up (in which Vauxhall’s suffer mostly from coolant issues). 2. Engine is just shit. 3. Torque steer as Vauxhall squeeze too much power into their engines. 4. They understeer like a motherfucker. 5. It’s a corsa!

What are these cars like on the motorway?

Compartments really pissed me off because this is my second car compared to my old car a 2004 golf GTI and I really miss the golf just because of issues like this

1. The car runs a CANBUS system so it shuts down aftermarket radios after a while and you have to plug in the original to make it work again. 2. The suspension is stiff as fuck 3. Barely any power and could do with a turbo. 4. Not fuel efficient even when driven like a grandma. 5. The lever to move the seat forward is wank.

Lovely car!

The bonnet lever could be there incase you catch it with your leg, boot etc. I could be wrong

the bonnith lever is on the left side because opel (the european version off vauxhall) has the steering wheel on the left side and thats because is is there

The bonnet lever being on the wrong side is Just because you got the steering wheel on the wrong side 😂

0:59 wasn't expecting that looool

Number 6. It's a Vauxhall Corsa

Bro reverse for corsa has been that way for years hasn't changed

The turning circle is atrocious on mine, its a bastard to park sometimes

Not the one touch indicators that everyone struggles with then?

and the opel corsa is nice but one thing that i hate is gear too out of place PLS REPLY JC XX

Reverse is there cause of 6 speed gearbox models...... Like a VXR

First downside meh! I LOVE it, i had cars like you want and it's just more hassle to do so, here i can blindly do it AND fast, if i have in the city center, a lot of correction to make cause only 70cm space left, i prefer it this way, i never accidently put it in back instead of one, so WHY complaint about this (other then having a 'taste' that is different). Dont use radio ever, dont car, i love to hear engine and be not distracted (plus i love Corsa engine soudn so whatever no corsa), if i drink i dont put it there, so no issue either, the switch for putting the cap open i'm pretty sure in EU (opposite steering wheel side), the clutch is still on same side so we got it combined. Shift, i kinda like it, it's good reminder if you are driving with high consumption, it is also set at least 400 rpm to high, so if you are already economic driver you will rarely hit that, and it's a godo reminder to have it. And if i'm racing, my eyes are on the road (high rpm), and a small light will not distract me, if anything i put my eye on the rpm counter to know how high i'm revving. I love this car, i only hate the the seller of it (profession) doenst wanna fix broken BCM. But i'm ready to buy another if problem isnt fixed.

Is that roach card in the cup holder ????

The main issue is the lever being on passenger side

What annoys me is when I take my handbrake off but I don't push it all the way down and it starts beeping

think you missed out how awkward it is to get to aux mode

I can relate to 3 off these things and I've got a astra😴

You forgot one major fault.... it’s a 14 year old free taxi m8 😂

I hate that there is no heat gauge

Poor gear box 😂 tell u to shift up because ur in the wrong gear 🤣

I’m happy with my corsa b 😅

On my corrsa there is a tray under passenger seat

those things aren't much. the thing I hate most about mine is the fact that it doesn't have a temperature gauge for the coolant.

Theres a draw under the passager seat

Number 4. Now this is a bit petty.... Yeah just like your first 3 mate 😆

1) how clunky the gear box is 2) how jerky the car be at slow speeds 3) the bonnet opener 4) the fact that it didn't come with a spare wheel! 5) probably the R issue but its not big deal The volume thing doesn't bother me at all for some reason

As soon as I read the title: Then sell it and buy a new one

If you worry about those five things is that nothing important is going in your life !!!

Look under the passenger seat!! Extra storage tray there

Nice video dude ave got a Volkswagen polo car

Are these.reliable cars

You realize that number 5 is because you are driving in the wrong side right....? on my corsa, the bonnet opener thing is in the correct side, and there is even a small compartment below the light switch.

Did you know when you open the glovebox on the side there is a shark

1 and 5 are complains because some stupid people diceded to drive on the left side of the road and have the car RHD, if you have a LHD car it is kind of nice to have your reverse there because you van shift to reverse quite fast, number two is also a big like for me because I always want my volume to be 5-10-15-20-25 etc. Shift light is a stupid thing I can agree with you but for the storing compartments you forgot to mention the compartment under the passenger seat, most Corsa's also have one there.

You forgot what gear your in😂😂

There’s a storage draw under passenger seat

Check the drawer under the passenger seat mate there’s a drawer underneath

He looks so young 😂😂

Number 4: it is NOT a cup holder, it is a place for your sunglasses!

my old corsa d (opel made in germany eisenach) didnd have problems like 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 at1: 6 gear manuel tranmission at 3: my car didnt had this thing at all and it didnt had esp but it had 90hp and 200nm of torque so much fun :D at4: torage compartment under the seat for tablets phone ... but not every corsa has one (my ne corsa e did not but you can adjust both seats) at5: lol brit only problem :D

Have you ever actually driven a car before?

There's a secret compartment underneath the passenger seat

Gotta walk all the way around a car, I'm dying, How petty could you get??. All these problems are fixable, like the reverse being in the wrong place? Please do tell me how to fix that and yes sure let me stick some tape on my display to solve the problem ..Let me just buy an armrest from Amazon for my car, DUH?

6. The size of the glovebox

Lol the bonnet lever isn't on the wrong side, the steering wheel is.

strange, you didn't mention: A pillar block's view(very annoying) too light steering at high speed(very annoying and dangerous) demisting (I think they say so, I'm not English) side windows...the vent blows to A pillar not window, if you don't have AC good luck

Look under passenger seat for secret compartment

The size of the glovebox annoys can't put anything in there

Oh dear... he has a “becausevauxhall” sticker😬

Compartments - there should be a tray under the passenger seat

Without being funny brother. People expect budget cars to have plenty dislikes. And I'll apologise before I say because I haven't looked at your other videos...you should do one on what you really like about the car considering it is a budget choice

I've just got my 2nd Corsa, it's an automatic but I like the Corsa never really had any complaints about them
