Is a Corsa a good car?
In our most recent reliability survey, the Corsa finished in 19th place out of 22 cars in the value and small cars category. Vauxhall as a brand scored poorly, finishing in a joint 27th place with Nissan out of 31 manufacturers.
The 1.2-litre is a better bet, but it's still worth spending a little more on the 1.4-litre petrol, which is a little more capable when the car is heavily loaded.
SE Premium cars add a number of luxury touches to the SE trim. These include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, rain-sensitive windscreen wipers and rear parking sensors.
Styling for this generation of Vauxhall Corsa was not too far removed from the popular previous model.

The standard Vauxhall Corsa was rated poorly for reliability in our 2017 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey of cars currently on sale in the UK. Of the owners who responded, 10.3% reported experiencing a problem with their car at least once.
The Corsa has been around for years but it's still one of the most highly sought-after cars around. It's an ideal first car for new drivers as it has relatively low running costs. It's also more spacious than many other compact cars in the list.
