Great 1.3-litre diesel and petrol engines, reasonable quality, refined.
Only averagely roomy, resale prices poor, sparse equipment at bottom of range.
Popular Corsa supermini is not a bad choice, but not the best car in this class by a margin.
The Corsa is economical to run - thanks in part to its omnipresence. Repair and maintenance costs are reasonable, and so it goes for insurance, the Corsa sitting between groups 1 and 9. Fuel economy on the 1.0 is good, at 50mpg, but that's still no reason to buy one. The 1.2 returns 45mpg, the 1.4 39mpg and the 1.8 36mpg. Best are the two diesels, the 1.7 CDTi returns 57mpg, but the 1.3 CDTi is once again the star, and boasts 63mpg.
