Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback 1.2 16V SXi 3d (AC) (2004/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Nearly £2k off list price. Electric on most things and a/c (though I prefer fresh air)
Costs
Fuel consumption a bit disappointing at 36mpg after 7 months, but see performance comments. Insurance Gp 3 helps.

On the road
Driving
Lovely car to drive - "point and shoot". Height adjustable steering wheel and seat probably help.
Performance
No complaints for a 1.2. Easy revving and more than quick enough. 50+ in 5th and it will still go
-
Living with it
Reliability
No complaints, so far
Image
Don't care what others say, I think its one of the best looking cars in its class. A Z-tec Gold with silver alloys set its off nicely.
Comfort
Feels like I'm sitting on a washing line, no complaints from passenger though that seat doesn't feel right to me either - must be me as I'm now on my 3rd driver's seat. A real shame as it will probably cause me to change an otherwise lovely car.

Security and Service
Security
Still trying to remember if i've locked it as no need to use the key! An alarm would be nice (though no one takes notice of them), but deadlocking and immobiliser as standard. Ability to only unlock driver's door is very good.
Service
After first seat change the garage refered me to Vauxhall. They arranged another seat change and have helped further. Excellent service as far as I'm concerned. Friendly staff at dealer, easy to talk to.
