Vauxhall Corsa (2000-2006) Review

Overview

• Next: Reliability and Quality

The Corsa is Vauxhall's enduringly popular competitor in the supermini sector, competing with cars like the Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio and Toyota Yaris. There are tens of thousands of them on UK roads and that's no real surprise. Although it's not a pace-setter in terms of dynamism or sparkle, it's a decent enough car, quite spacious and there are hundreds of Vauxhall dealers, so plenty of aftersales support.

This Corsa was introduced in 2000, and mildly revised late in 2003. You'll be hard pushed to tell the difference between the two versions, but externally, the bumpers were modified and the headlamps made bigger. More significantly, some of the engines were mildly revised, and an excellent 1.3-litre turbodiesel was introduced.
