Vauxhall/Opel Corsa & Corsa-e 2023 review

.............................................................

Is the Vauxhall Corsa the must-have small family car? Well, let’s find out!

Mat’s got his hands on the Vauxhall Corsa-e, and he’s going to run you through everything you need to know in this in-depth review.

For starters, there is a choice of three different petrol engines. They’re all 1.2-litres, starting from 75hp and raising to 130hp if you choose the range-topper. However, there’s also an all-electric version available, which is powered by a single motor to deliver 136hp.

In terms of price, the entry-level petrol-powered Corsa is pretty affordable, at £17,000. However, should you choose to go all-electric, you’ll have to splash out a bit more, which prices starting from £27,000!

In terms of design, the Corsa is a pretty good looking car from the outside, looking relatively sleek from the front, and with the more expensive models come with the option to choose a contrasting black roof! On the inside, you’ll generally find good quality materials throughout the cabin, although the infotainment system isn’t all that good.

So should you choose the Corsa over competitors like the Skoda Fabia or Peugeot 208? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

03:45 Can you guess where Mat's shark tattoo is? 👀 😬

[juliorelz]

I owned a petrol automatic for a year and my father in law now has the Corsa E. Mat's review is spot on really. It is a very capable car just nothing fancy or special about it. The petrol car was a fun little car to drive.

[JScot]

In my head it feels like a Corsa should start from under 10 grand. I'm still living in early 2000s motoring world.

[F_Guy]

Maybe we should drag race this against the internal combustion engine with the 130 HP one

Back in 2005 I got a Corsa 1.2 Twinport SXI, it was pre-registered, 6 months old and cost £7.5k. I absolutely adored it and still to this day, after owning and driving many nice cars, think it was one of the best cars I've ever owned. Always had a soft spot for Corsa's since then.

Love the English sarcastic, straight to the bone critic, on how to review a car. No lies, no unnecessary compliments. Pure unbiased review . All that with a great sense of English humor. Thanks Mat

This was the review I wanted 2 weeks ago. Ended up getting the 1.2 Turbo 6 Speed Petrol in the Elite Trim. Really happy with it

[ukvamp]

I bought a corsa e in this colour back in December last year, I really like it! does what I need, go a whole week to work and back for around £11 in electric.

and yes, i bought mine using car wow!!!

[trepidstation]

Mat you've single-handedly got me into car reviews and im not even in to cars really!

[martinharding]

6:24 "I can't believe you've done this"

It's an old meme, but it checks out.

[hillmatthew]

As a vauxhall owner I appreciate the new vauxhall reviews as this channel lacks vauxhall reviews/news, would like reviews of the new astra ect

[glennmicheal]

How are you able to make a review so plain so interesting it's just unbelievable

[recklessrogue]

It may not be fancy but the reason I chose to order this above rivals is for the very reason that while it excels at nothing it is good at everything. Plus I love the design and it was second to the e208 but like for like this was much better value. Can't wait for next month when mine is due to arrive!

[Onewheelordeal]

I for one don't really care about a load lip, usually just means more space like the back of a minivan when the rear seats are up and you can use the space where they fold down

[TheRocky]

There are loads of the corsa e on zip car in london . They are quite nippy in sport mode but suffer from torque steer, the brake peddle moves away from your foot in b mode because it blends the brakes with regen .

[Andrew-vtdu]

I had 3 types corsa. All of them was good never pretend to be better than they been designed for. Compact car good for everything. I hope new one will keep same idea

[SuaveIntention]

I reckon it'd be a good option for a daily commute. 👍🏼

[arnipa]

love that Matt dressed up as a corsa driver for this review 😂

[rg]

Love this corsa and another fantastic review
