Living with it
Reliability
Poor. I've had two new engines, 1 gearbox and broken down numerous times. Fuel sender gone, front tyres wear very quick, brakes, all 4 shocks packed in and track rod end frequently goes! Don't buy a corsa!
Image
Colour coded bumpers make car stand out from other Corsas. Nice looking car.
Comfort
Average comfort. Very basic seats and materials. No electrics at all. You would expect better.
