I have just come back from test driving one of these little cars from Vauxhall and I must say that I was might impressed with what I saw. Previously, I have been a little sceptical to say the least about used Vauxhall Corsa’s but that was due to the look and feel of the older model. This newer version is much better and something that I would strongly recommend to any small car, coupe driver. The new design has actually made the newer model appear much more robust and it is obvious that the manufacturers had this in mind when building it so that they could maybe reach out to a wider buying audience. For me anyway, it has certainly caught my eye and is one car that I would seriously consider buying if I was seriously in the market for a new vehicle. The best way to describe it would be to try and make a comparison between a toned down Volkswagen Golf and a Fiat Punto. That would be my description of the new Corsa. Astonishingly to me, the acceleration and top speed of the car was very good. I expected things to be much slower from take off and had no idea that at “top end” (70 mph), that the ride would be so smooth. It’s very strange how people have certain perceptions yet when they try things for themselves, this perception can totally change. The exact model that I was driving was even a standard, which means that the SXI for example would be even sportier. Overall, I would give this car an 8 out of 10 for the type of car that it is; a small super mini.
