“The Vauxhall Corsa has traditionally been one of the UK’s most popular cars, and we very much doubt that’ll change now that it’s better than ever. It’s fine to drive, with a good balance of comfort and sharpness, while its engines are impressive in both their perkiness and their efficiency.”

“The new Corsa isn’t vastly improved so it’s still no class leader. Instead, it remains a good all-rounder. The ride and handling balance is a good compromise, the 100hp engine proves frugal and performs well, and, for a supermini, there’s enough space inside – even if it’s still tricky getting in and out of the rear seats with those narrow rear doors.”

“With the Corsa being by far Vauxhall’s most popular car, it’s not surprising that this is a model that’s improved across the board next to the old hatchback. Utilising the PSA Group’s many resources has made a lot of difference here – not least with the excellent line-up of new engines.”

“Would we choose a Vauxhall Corsa over a Ford Fiesta? The Fiesta is a more rounded car. It’s far better to drive, has a more eager petrol engine, and will hold its value better. As practical as the Corsa is, it’s still the runner up in our opinion.”

“The new Vauxhall Corsa is an excellent choice – but it doesn’t look as good as its Peugeot 208 sibling and its interior is nowhere near as stylish.”

“The Vauxhall Corsa is a quietly competent product compared to glitzier newcomers, particularly from Peugeot and Renault. Its most important role could be as a familiar-feeling first step into electrification once the EV arrives.”

“Cheap to run, well-equipped and easy to drive, the Vauxhall Corsa is the embodiment of the supermini all-rounder. However, while Vauxhall’s latest small car instalment is easily the best Corsa yet, it still can’t match the fun of the Ford Fiesta or the everyday practicality of the SEAT Ibiza.”

“Compared to the old model, the latest Vauxhall Corsa does represent a monumental leap forward in terms of handling and refinement. And much of this is down to its PSA partnership. However, while an undeniable improvement, the Corsa’s progress is hindered by its cramped and disappointing cabin.”

“No doubt with its sharper looks, new infotainment and new features it has added showroom appeal, but that’s tempered by higher prices that make it less of the bargain it once was. It lags behind the class-leading Skoda Fabia and Renault Clio, but it remains a sensible buy nonetheless.”

“THREE minutes. That’s all it took to decide this is the BEST CORSA EVER. Actually, I’ll go further. It trumps the Peugeot 208, Volkswagen Polo and SEAT Ibiza. And it goes straight on to my small car podium alongside the Ford Fiesta and Renault Clio.”

“The latest Corsa is a car that’s easy to like but hard to love, thanks to a combination of hit-and-miss interior finish, so-so practicality and an overly jiggly ride. But it will look and feel smart enough for many buyers.”

“On paper and in the minds of a lot of the motoring press, the new Vauxhall Corsa is a rather boring version of the new Peugeot 208 with which it shares its platform. In practice, however, it has a maturity in its set-up, its details and its shape which might genuinely charm a lot of British buyers.”
