All-new Opel Corsa Review - Here comes Opel's small car champion

Are you looking to buy a used Opel Corsa in South Africa? We have nearly 400 to choose from!

This is an entirely new Opel Corsa and in many ways it represents the future of the brand, for a number of reasons, many of which you can't even see. That's because this Opel is based entirely on a Peugeot chassis and makes use of a Peugeot engine and transmission. It is, under the skin, no different from Peugeot's new 2008.

This Corsa really has its work cut out for it; it has to take on a myriad of competitors including, but not limited to, the ever-popular Volkswagen Polo, the feisty Ford Fiesta and strong rivals from Korea in the form of the Hyundai i20 and Kia Rio.

And so, for this top-spec Elegance model featured here, Opel really has thrown the kitchen sink in here. In this video we'll take you over the specs and pricing of the new Opel Corsa in South Africa, as well as comfort and safety features, back seat space and boot (load) area.

We'll also dig into the more consumer-y angles of which one you should buy, the good old Opel Corsa vs Volkswagen Polo vs Ford Fiesta debate.

Enjoy!

I’m going to buy this car before the end of this year 🕯

[sds]

Crazy that we live in a country where our choice of car is influenced by how likely it is to be stolen. Lol

[andrewmofokeng]

I own 1.2T(74W) and I'm so loving it

[tman]

96kw 🤔 sounds good, plus less risk of headlight theft 😂

[bafanaisaac]

You just gave me car to consider as a fresh graduate, no more polo thoughts especially when there is this high rate of teft for a polo in SA. This is unique I love it as well. Great work Ciro 🙌💯💯

I'll take the one that wasn't even mentioned in the competition.

The Mazda 2 Huzumi.
20k cheaper
Non turbo so ease of mind when reliability comes in
Also curtain airbags
Heads up display
Paddle shift
Better claimed fuel economy
3 year unlimited km service and warranty I extended mine to 6 years unlimited km
Keyless entry and push button start
Navigation
Cd player
Partial cloth and real leather seats, not fake leather like this corsa
Almost 200kg lighter
Smaller turning circle
All these things that the corsa don't have.

When I bought my Mazda 2 in 2019 my short list was
Mazda 2
Fiesta
Polo
Rio

The Mazda drove the best and interior in a higher class than the other 3 in my short list.

And then that soul cristal red paint.

To put in more perspective. If I would have added all the extras that the Mazda 2 comes with standard to the non gti top of the line polo, the polo would have cost 100k more than the Mazda 2.

Really enjoy these videos. Hoping you'd consider talking about cost of replacing parts, costs of maintenance plans and then features like parking assists, (rear view cams, park distance controls, etc.)

[everydaydissociation]

Your review style is so chilled, I love it. Subbed

[pratapp]

Love your reviews Ciro, hello from Australia 🇦🇺

[ncebamthembu]

This Corsa looks very nice to me. I think I'm gonna get myself one. I enjoy these videos a lot, one gets a lot of information out of them thanks

[aobakweseleka]

I test drove the Opel Corsa last week its a absolutely sublime car for its segment very comfortable and quit. I was very impressed I'd buy it over the Polo and Fiesta any day.

[AquivaStar]

It is crazy how expensive the small/entry level cars have become! I remember when the small Golfs and Corsa's were the staple cars for students.

[bonganidavidbaloyi]

A very Good point you made, Polo is very good look and the R-line stands out but because of theft you end up paying more insurance something to consider

[mthuthuzeliramothibe]

Not a fan of Opel but I'd buy this just for aesthetics. The chassis is beautiful man😭

[sibamboportraits]

Nice review. You're right, the price of cars has gone ridiculously high and for nothing much really.

[raeespeffer]

I bought this car and let me yell you something... it is everything and more than i expected!

[boemomolefe]

Ciro always delivering a fluid review. 👏🏻

[kyyyy]

How is this car going to fair in the future? 100k+ kms?

I'd love to buy this car, but i'm concerned about the reliability.

[mvunipulengderrick]

Watching your video from the UK and love the presentation not forgetting the car. I am also not a fan of Opel which is a Vauxhall here imagine rubbish car based on the other models. But because it is backed by Peugeot engine and gearbox I am hooked that is a very reliable name and quality.

[spermaestroful]

Saw this new Corsa and I was like this is the car to go for if you don't want to go for VW, it is more beautiful with the black trim on the bumper and on other parts of the body
