Vauxhall Corsa
The Vauxhall Corsa is currently setting the standards for all other small cars to follow. It has all the hallmarks of Vauxhall’s new design ethos, with styling masterminded by Niels Loeb and Mark Adam’s designteam. Add to this all of the attributes you’d want from a small car: fuel economy, low road tax, lesser insurance groups, and you have a formula for a market leading small car.
The driveability of the new Corsa has come a long way. The improved chassis makes for good handling, and the EPS power steering is precise and full of feel. The steering system is a highlight of the new Corsa, designed for advanced driveability – it has just the right amounts of feedback and assistance in the right areas.
The amount of kit available in the new Corsa is also eye catching. If you’re a music fan, you may be tempted by the 7 loudspeakers and a multimedia screen connectable to your iPod or iPhone.There are numerous
editions of the Corsa available – the Expression, Exclusive, Excite, SXi, SE, Sri and VXR.
The price range for the Corsa rightly suggests a universal appeal. Entrylevel prices are £8,995 for the 1.0 litre petrol edition, whilst those looking for a hot hatch may look towards the Nurburging edition at around £22,000. The Nurburging is a specification that lies in Clio Sport territory: a superpower car not burdened by weight or size. The
Nurburging will do 0-60 in an earth shattering 6.5 seconds.
For the more practical driver, the CDTi ecoFlex models will have great appeal. EcoFLEX is Vauxhall’s fuel economical brand and offers a range of diesel engines that appear just the right size. The 1.3 CDTi is fuel economy at its peak, whilst the 1.7 CDTi is only slightly thirstier but also delivers power where needed: a real all-rounder.
The new Corsa is a leader in its class and looks set to project the famous brand to new levels. Even if you are looking to buy a used vauxhall corsa you can pick them up cheap and still in great condition.
