They're all pretty minor gripes TBH - if they're the most annoying things, then it's a pretty good car.
The reverse - hell, you need some safeguard against accidental reverse selection.
Volume - use your ears. Who cares what the percentage is? Is it loud enough or not?
The rest of it is more trivia. I'd love my car to have such trivial faults :-)

[Danielmerlin]

The reverse is there and has a button to make it hard and annoying so you don't put it into reverse accidently while driving

I will agree the volume is annoying

My car doesn't tell me when to shift

There is a draw under the passenger seat, and I often use the backseat drinks holder makes it a bit harder to get to but keeps it out the way of the gearstick

The bonnet catch is on the passenger side because the Opel corsa is made in mainland Europe and just rebranded to come over here

am i right- i don’t think uv been driving long

Number 6.

It's a Vauxhall Corsa

Here’s what’s actually shit about the car:
1. No temperature gauge so u don’t know if your engine is overheating and fucking up (in which Vauxhall’s suffer mostly from coolant issues).
2. Engine is just shit.
3. Torque steer as Vauxhall squeeze too much power into their engines.
4. They understeer like a motherfucker.
5. It’s a corsa!

The size of the glove box, can’t even fit my log book in that 😂😂

[ScoptOriginal]

I have the exact same model, nearly all of these seem ridiculous. My top 5 things I hate about it are:
1. 1st gear is practically nonexistent
2. The speeds you need to change gear are nonsensical (which the shift light really helps when you start out)
3. The steering column often feels like it's pushing my foot off the clutch when I turn out of mg drive
4. The bonnet lever being on the wrong side
5. The layout and features of the center console (mostly just how old it all is, but also the problems you mentioned with the cupholders)

Aw I like having the button for reverse, it’s way better then having to push the whole stick in, in order to change it to reverse I think personally.

Completely agree with the cup holders though and wanting to go into 3rd😂

As a young man in 1997 I had a 205gti and it was much more basic than your corsa. I was grateful I even had a car. People say it was a classic but in reality it was a piece of shit compared to your corsa. We could wake up 1 day and all this crap could be gone. Fukin iPhones, tablets, Alexa and all other pointless shit we rely on. Hopefully that doesn’t happen but it would make a interesting social experiment 😂good luck with your channel dude, no offence intended ✌️

[CaptainKingsleyYeoo]

not trying to be funny, as I think this shape of corsa is really nice. But surely I would hate the stigma of driving a corsa, as they have a rep for being driven by plonkers, and for picking up young girls lol

"For example in Mercedes" you are in a VAUXHALL CORSA NOT AN S CLASS. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. And in regards to the bonnet lever, Vauxhall and Opel are the same company. Opel make Left hand drive cars so it's normal in 3/4 of Corsas sold

[mo]

Agree about the cup holder. No chance going into gear 3 with maccies in the car...

[garrylamb]

cant stand the car telling him what gear to be in but wants to know how loud the stereo is 🤣

[ben.f_]

"fuck off, ill shift when i want to shift" im dead

[wzrdthegod]

There’s a shark in the glovebox so it’s basically the best car ever made

[JayHowi]

I know this is old but should've mentioned how long the window takes to de-mist, it is legit a pisstake.

[dinodino]

Minor things! I agree on the lack of compartments. Also minor but stupid is the suggestion of changing gears as it is not even at a high engine rotation.
Also I often get into the reverse /1 st issue.
My wheel is on the left so no thing weirs with the bonnet opener

My worst car ever was a 2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 3dr Energy. It was my first car however so couldn't really expect much. Being an energy model I was lucky enough to have alloys, metal door handles, and electric windows. 😂😂😂😂

An absolute beast with a furious 59 horses under the bonnet, said no one ever. It was horrendous, very sluggish, not that fuel efficient, extremely tinny, had a paint job that was flakier than my dad's feet, soaking wet driver's footwell, failed both MOTs in 2 years of ownership, and still cost me nearly 200 pounds per month to insure during my first year. 3 months after passing my test the head gasket blew which was a common fault on those eco-flex engines, so the car went to scrap heap heaven without a teardrop or a kiss goodbye.

I leased a 2016 Corsa for 3 years afterwards then went on to buy my current car, a 2012 Jaguar XF. Much better. 😁

[Gurny]

bonnet catch is on the other side because your legs are moving around the footwell while you use the pedals and it's to avoid your trouser leg catching on the lever and popping the bonnet mid drive 😅😊

[JxeFletcher]

Reverse is in that place because some corsa engines have 6 gears so it would be a waste of time and money to do different gear knobs
