Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (2006 - 2014) 1.3 CDTi (90bhp) SXi 3d (AC) Owner Review

I bought this car as it was suitable for my life right now. As a student I need something fairly affordable (although my insurance company don't seem to agree) and also something quite compact but with enough space to be comfortable. I feel I've found all three things in this nippy little car despite it not being an eco-flex - which would definitely be a requirement on my next Vauxhall - and for the price that they go for from dealers and even private sellers I would say that you get a very good car for what you pay. The only couple of things that let down the design and functionality for me are these: 1) The parcel shelf frequently dislodges from where it hooks in which leaves it hung up by the cords blocking the view out of the rear window. (I'm not sure if this is a general issue or not) 2) I would prefer to have had an aux input as I don't actually own that many cd's and most of my music is digital, but it's something I can cope quite easily without. Other than that I find everything in the car up to standard for the year and model. I will also note, if you like a sporty look but don't want to fork out a fortune in both price and insurance then I'd definitely recommend any Corsa that's been given the VXR Styling Pack as it just looks stunning.
