I now have my new Corsa which is virtually the same as the one you reviewed although it's the Ultimate model, so all singing all dancing. So far i can't fault it and am happy with my choice. Your very detailed review was a real help. I just wonder if they would ever be able to integrate a larger RPM counter into the digital driving display. It would be nice to see and probably something that perhaps a future firmware update could include. Fingers crossed.

    Your reviews are great. It’s nice to see a review that is basically my car. Would like to see this up against the mini. For stop start you have to have it is neutral and with the parking brake on. It will then activate if the battery has a high enough voltage

      I have a corsa with the stop start and it won't trigger without the car being warm enough, climate control not on to hot/cold and quite a few other things.

      I’ve got the ultimate and mine has moments where for a couple weeks it might not work but then it starts working again, very strange. Also find you don’t need the parking brake up for it to work either, think all corsa owners have this issue. All in all it’s probably for the best the car doesn’t use stop start in periods it seems unnecessary.

    Quite good car for its price and class,it seems that it drives very well minus the weird throttle and suprisingly quiet, but i dont like the other brand new Opel/Vauxhall cars after they had been bought by PSA/Stellantis. I liked it when they were with GM much more,i also heard the engines and overall quality were better with GM and after being bought by PSA it went down the drain. I own a 2010 Opel Astra (H) wagon with 1.7 diesel-its suprisingly good car for its class and price and is incredibly nice,fun and easy to drive! You could feel the cheapness at some points,specially the rear seats (which are honestly quite spacious) but i can forgive it for how the car drives. I personally liked the Corsa D and E better than this brand new generation in terms of overall aesthetics, but my favorite is the Astra K and pre-facelift Insignia B,they both look gorgeous and i would love to try them at some point. Thanks for the review,i always enjoy them! :D ;) P.S. I also dont understand the "excluding auto models" ,its kinda mind boggling to me why they did that... its like they dont like automatics and secretely want people to buy only manuals or electrics :D

    I really like my turbo elite corsa, I have one of the last elite models and mine is a 22 plate. Some of the features you are showing arent on the '22 plated turbo elite, I don't have keyless start and my a/c controls (unless I'm in the settings) are fully manual - not on screen at all.
    The reversing camera is amazing, I didn't realise how much I use it until I had to repark my Mums Corsa and it was so hard to just rely on the mirrors - and of course she has an old fashioned handbrake so I had to remember to release it.
    I have had my car since June and I have still not been able to get my car's stop start to actually trigger, I have the light flash but it just doesn't trigger - which means I just haven't got my climate control settings correct for it.The high-beam assist is very fun when driving country roads at night.
    Living in Scotland we have 70 speed limit signs and using the sign recognition you can set the speed limiter using the mem button. The road sign reading feature can be extra sensitive and it often picks up those little signs on the back of vans and lorries - so I have seen it saying it has read a 90 sign.
    The lane positioning assistant is weird, as it does steer you back to the lane you are in - so you need to remember to indicate earlier than you think.
    The high-beam assist is very fun when driving country roads at night.

    Not a problem in the UK, but the petrol manual (presumably the non turbo) struggles at speed on the German autobahn. Above around 85mph it "feels fast" (unlike say the 1l ford fiesta, which is relatively settled) and the power really tapers off. It's somewhat unstable and doesn't even particularly want to get to 160kph (100mph), which is somewhat of a disappointment. It's fiiine really but I wouldn't pick it out amongst it's competitors

    This is the trim I opted for, when the car turned up, i had a manual handbrake and no stop start button. questioned why these were missed. was informed it was a parts issue and the car would not be retro fitted either. Huge disappointment. With the arm rest out its hard to use the manual handbrake. It does look odd in what suppose to be the top of line trim. When I had the car in for a few issues I was given a courtesy car which was a lower trim and guess what released the same time and had both stop/start and electric brake. Soon as my lease it up I am going to another provider. I feel misold and cheated

    I understand the benefits of matrix lights meaning you can leave your car on highbeam, but I've found riding a motorcycle, for whatever reason I still get blinded by a lot of these cars and have to flash them to let them know. I realise its hard to know which cars have these but 9/10 the cars have been new fancy models. Curious to your thoughts and if you've had any experiences with motorcyclists?

Six speed box on something that is hardly going to go over 70mph is plain stupid. I struggle endlessly in the dark to know where/ how the fck to put in the ign key. I CAN NOT hear the engine, apart from a crappy digital bar graph rev counter I've no idea what the fck i'm doing. Very poor digital displays. No provision whatsoever for older / faiing eyesight. Constantly I don't know what I'm doing or where I am in the powertrain. Verdict .... designed by total disassociated wankers. Mine is the Elite Edn 1.2 turbo. Just bought it, want to change it. Poor cabin light, obscured forward vision, puny weak horn, very little heat on my feet. Go figure ...

What a chore to drive, the cabin ergonomics are laughable, the whole car is made out of cornflake packets, indicators don't cancel, auto wipers wipe even when it's not raining. It's got a bit of poke but it's really uncomfortable to drive, it isn't poised, crashes over bumps even with the standard wheels, the interior is very tacky, cheap and badly made.

The amount of times I’ve nearly pulled out on vehicles even as big as a bus and not seen them. And no - it’s not because I’m a bad driver, the blind spots are terrible on anything more than a slightly off-angle junction. Cannot wait to get rid of it. Not knocking the drive, it pull like a beast and it’s comfy but in my mind it’s a very dangerous design.
