Faults:

I bought my Corsa used, it was 4 years old, had done 40k kilometers, and looked great. I didn't get a great deal, it was a bit expensive for what it was, but I was happy with the car, it had a good configuration, nice seats, and was a beautiful car.

Around 2 months ago it stopped starting. The car had electric problems; don't know what exactly.

Earlier today, the turbo broke, and the engine revved up to 6000 RPM, so I turned off the engine instantly, and even after the combustion was still occurred (the engine didn't fully stop). After a bit, I started the car again, and it sounded a bit odd, and the power steering warning was showing in the dashboard, which meant that the power steering wasn't working.

General Comments:

I really like my car. I think that I'm just having really bad luck with this car, and I have a good feeling. I think this is a great little car, ideal for young drivers. It's easy to drive, and is secure, etc, etc.

Some things could be improved; the front pillars are too thick, which reduces your visibility, and the back window is a bit small; you don't have that much visibility at the back.

I really like this car, and so far, what I'm really disappointed about is its reliability, and fuel consumption (not so economical in my view).

Faults:

Broken intercooler.

Blown bulbs.

General Comments:

A nice improvement over Corsa C, but not impressive. It's bigger and spacious, the ride is better and sharper, but still not as comfortable as it should be.

The seats, as usual on a Opel/Vauxhall, aren't ergonomic enough. The same goes for the driving position.

The cabin is well built, but the materials could be much better, although the Corsa is just a cheap mass production car.

Visibility is awful.

Engine performance is sluggish and sometimes embarrassing. Fuel consumption and emissions are just average (note that this is the first Ecoflex generation; the last one is much better).

Safety is very good; it has very good Euro NCAP classification.

Reliability could be better, but at least parts are cheaper than on other superminis.

Not exciting at all. Hopefully Opel has done much better on the Insignia and on the new Astra, so maybe they will make an impressive Corsa in 2014.

Faults:

Minor faults during this period:

- Driver's seat broken

- Leaking heater matrix @ 230.000km

- Starter motor @ 280.000km.

General Comments:

Excellent product. Reliable, solid and bullet proof, the Corsa B, when equipped with an Isuzu power plant becomes a truly strong work horse. It provides brisk acceleration, regarding its 1500cc; it runs smoothly and it's so MPG friendly: usually 5.5liters per 100km under heavy traffic; 4.8l on open road. I love it!

Faults:

Head gasket blown once, on a hot summer journey.

Just normal wear and tear.

General Comments:

I never thought anything could be this reliable!

This car is used by 5 persons, for everything that's necessary, either it's a drive to the supermarket or a 1000km weekend, without ever complaining.

We often thought of trading it, then thinking: why?

I recommend it as an all-rounder to everyone.

It could be a little bit more comfortable and better equipped, but not much of a problem.

Fuel consuption is outstanding, achieving 5l/100km on the motorway!
