Faults:

Nothing so far.

General Comments:

My Corsa in black 2017 new shape model is a great first car, 5 door version.

Very practical, boot space is a joke but it will take 4 passengers in comfort. Not bad for a small car.

Inside is smooth and quiet, dash is laid out well, controls are intuitive.

Nice to drive. 1.4 petrol engine has the "ecoflex" technology applied to it (I thought only diesels had this) its performance isn't great (0-60 mph in 13 seconds!) but with around 45 - 50 mpg from petrol I cannot complain, this cars running costs are as good as it gets, reasonable tax and insurance, and service cost has been cheap.

Bloody great looking VX Line body-kit and alloy wheels, really is a nice spec worth it above the regular SRi model.

If you are thinking of buying one as a first car they are perfect, or for someone wanting to downsize their car to cut costs but still want a reliable modern run about, you cannot beat the Corsa. Just make sure the car you buy has full history, there are a lot of rough ones out there for sale, and I mean LOTS, so buy carefully. Took me months to find this one. A looked after Corsa is a rare find.

Faults:

Brake pads at last service and MOT. Nothing beyond the usual wear and tear, no big faults or disasters yet, wouldn't expect anything less from a low mileage modern car.

General Comments:

A smart little car in red (2 door), this Corsa has been excellent transport for me in the last couple of tough years. Cannot fault this car if you want reliable modern transport.

If you want performance, look elsewhere or get the SRi model. The 1.4 ecoFLEX Energy is no racing car, but at around 50 mpg, this is great for a petrol engine. Drives well enough, not exciting but quiet and smooth around town.

Maybe I am getting old, but I do not care about the digital features or Apple Car Play. The radio is good enough for me. Has air con and all the mod cons you would expect.

Had it a couple if years and will keep it a while longer, great little run around.
