Corsa C, best looking small hatch of its generation (Full Review) 

What a faithful little turtle, and some gorgeous drone footage!

Opel Corsa C 1.0 My first car i bought in 2015 and the car i still use after 7 years. Never let me down. It was always there when i needed it. People, friends, girlfriends come and go but the little Corsa, the god of old cars, is still there for a long night drive to ease your heart.

My girlfriend got one of these for her first car as a hand-me-down from her older sister. 1.2 16V Comfort, 84K on the clock and for a car that's 20 years old, it runs perfectly sweet! Front electric windows, central locking and air con, nice little spec for a first car! Had to spend about £500 to get new brake discs, pads, drums and caliper pins but that's 20 years of wear and tear... Looking on Autotrader, equivalent cars of that spec and age are going for £1200-£1750!! Bargain really to spend £500 to keep it safe. After a full service as well it's running as sweet as a nut. Great little car and great, in-depth review, cheers!

Getting better and better, good video!

Much better looking than those that came after and huge improvement on previous model if only for a more roomy footwell and better space all around. The three cylinder 1.0 is very gruff but able, the 1.2 not as economical as you'd expect. But I loved it then and still do. Great real world review. Keep them coming.

The 1.2 is better suited to motorways yet is still economical.Had an 03 5 door very reliable- only fail was battery.

My son's got a 1.2Twinport Design on a 05 plate. His first car. Taught him to drive and pass test in it. I'm reliving my teen years by pimping it up for him, he's not into cars, put SXI seats and the white speed,rev etc clocks and front bumper with fog lights in/on it. Redone all the brake lines and am getting Corsa alloys on soon. Cured the infamous footwell leaks(thank the maker for RU-vid vids) and now he's got Aircon (standard on the Design) and SXI add-ons. Upgraded the stereo to a cheap Chinese touch screen flip up, also changed the internal dash lights to green LEDs. Nice vid btw.

I have in Brazil! I really love this project. It’s good car in the road and fast in the track.

Wonderful review for a brill little car 😊

Had my 5dr sxi 1.2 15 years and it's still going strong!! Always done the work myself and it still looks like new. Hardly any rust on the underneath. Cv boots, battery's and brakes is the only work that's been needed. 59k miles. 💪😁👍

I have the German verson of the Vauxhall, I got the Opel Corsa C 1.2 Twinport from 2004. It's my first car and I love it, I will never sell this car 🤝🏼

This video brings back good memories of a 1.2 Design Corsa C I had. Such a good runabout, a well made car too, and yes, a good looking car ( mine was silver). Everything in proportion, I believe the designer was Japanese, and it has a Japanese neatness to it. It was followed by a Corsa D, which I have to say, was a better car, with a much smoother ride. Thumbs up for Corsas!

Lovely Video,so nice driving out in the Countryside,long runs out at a steady speed is good for the Engine,all being well I ll be getting a 1.3 tdi 03 model this week,4 door,it was love at first sight,the interior still smells new which is a plus,Happy Motoring🤗😊😘

Iv'e got a 2003 1.2 Elegance which is quite an high spec model. Air con and electric door mirrors etc. It's done 70k and never lets me down. Just sailed straight through its M.O.T. I agree, the design never seems to age. Very solid car.

Great vid! I was GIVEN a Corsa C 1.0 three years ago, by a mate who bought one for his two children to pass their road tests in. My two have passed their tests in it, too, and I’m keeping it for me, until my third child is old enough to pass his test in it in a couple of years time. It’s on 117,500 miles and still going strong. The parts for these cars are extremely cheap, too. I’ve just put four new suspension struts on it, for £85.00! All the best.👍🏾🛠🇬🇧

I've just taken hold of a one owner X-reg 1.0 litre with 46k miles and regularly commute over the dales without issue. Comfort edition offers sunroof but no electric windows. It manages 70 happily enough on the motorway, however I would recommend noise cancelling earphones.

I've had 2 in the last 8 years. Great little cars never let me down Even The 1litre one will cruise at 70mph all day cost £400, been on holiday 250 miles no problem. Got Corsa D SXI now it's like a small Luxury car compared to the C.

My first car! Crazy to see the mpgs of the good old Corsa compared to cars of today. What happened!? I had a late 2002 and it took me all over the uk and Europe. Even took it over the french and Swiss alps. As for motorway, i had it over 90 many an evening. It did struggle on hills but over the years you get to learn it’s favourite gears...

this is my first car, i just bought it 2 months ago (december 29, 2021) it's a 5 door 2004 (second generation) Corsa C although it's an Opel because we don't call them Vauxhall here, in general it's pretty good for an 18 years old car! still tweaking some of the accessories myself because the previous owner, wasn't really a care taker of it, other than that it's great! looks great, drives good, 3 cylinder 1.0 liters engin, good fuel economy, single airbag, no air conditioner, only heater, standard manual windows ,manual transmission, manual door locks manual everything with 249k kilometers on it.

Great little cars. Iv had every engine in them. 1.0 and 1.2 are terrible on fuel. I’m looking for another now to sit with my B

To me is best car

the 1.3 cdti version is quite speedy. nice review i've enjoyed it and feel the same about cars.

I have one I love throwing it round corners foot to the floor in second 😎 so much fun because it’s slow 😂

I've actually got a 1.2 of these with just under 60k miles. Great little cars, they're very under appreciated I think.

I’ve done many thousands of miles myself in a Corsa C but with the Fiat made 1.3CDTI engine, which is a good little engine and pretty good on the fuel. The car itself is pretty good to drive as well, my only gripe is the dull interior, almost like it’s an afterthought. I think it’s a better looking car than it’s successors though, still a very popular 1st car choice or as a cheap runabout. The oil does need to be changed on time otherwise the camchain stretches and you get that horrible camchain chatter which signals the time for an expensive camchain change. Good vid and review though mate, thanks.👍

Hmn good review. I think I'll buy one for my next car

I have an opel corsa c sri 1.2. The car has an average consumption of 6l / 6.5l. The car is almost 20 years old and I have only had these breakdowns: 3 Batteries Oil change every 10,000km Air and gasoline filters Alternator fault Gasoline: D I live in Tenerife and I drive with a 1.2 in mountains

I've got one of these except mine's a 1.2. It's good fun to drive and never lets me down (although it's a 2nd, runabout car). For me the worst aspect of the car is the driving position because I find the seat rather flat and unsupportive and there is no adjustment in the steering wheel on mine. Good car though and drives really well.

You can completely take the back rest on the seats off to make it a little van too have a corsa c life

It is to my shame to admit that I once owned a Yugo 45 (Yes I know, but I wanted a NEW car!) and that was seriously underpowered. I recall on a trip to North Wales, and returning home had to climb the A55 at Rhuallt Hill - I think I was in second gear and considering first gear to complete the climb!

My first car, same-ish colour, FJ52 HMV. Mot expired in 2019. Rip.

Hi. Can you turn the passenger airbag off please? Also can’t seem to get the back windscreen wiper to stop wiping 😂

I drive this car the 1.2 now for like 2 years its a nice car but de seats are very hard en the fuel consumption is very high

Could you review the same era Polo?

The car is obviously still good I 2021 lol

My first car. Had the 0.8L with 58hp.it was painfully slow lol

Im thinking to buy this car but at first i need to learn how to drive automatic and i wil buy 1.4 petrol automatic which is 4 speed and is easy to change engine oil and filters like fuel filter amd suspension not like other likes where you can make strugles

"don't have an accident in this", especially if you're the front seat passenger! :-)

4 cylinders is generally pretty boring, because they’re more refined than any other engine, and they’re better balanced.

Deserves a pint of Castrol GTX :-)

Not the best for overtaking 😬 4th gear usually comes very close to red line

Stubborn little car lol, so much fun to drive but be prepared to have belt problems lol
