    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!

But as with all electric cars this one would loose its power at higher speeds so i am pretty sure that past something like 120 km/h it would be slower. Also i can do 700-750 km (around 450 miles) when driving normaly which this electric car can only dream about.

    I own the Petrol version of the Corsa. Had that Aisin 8-speed's TCU tuned, and the 0-60 timings dropped from 8.7 seconds to 8.0 seconds. After that did a stage 1 ECU tune from 130hp & 230nm to 165hp & 260nm. 0-60 dropped from 8.0 seconds to 7.4 seconds. TCU tune resulted in the clutch lockup being just as fast a ZF 8HP's, but still drives as comfortably without any significant change to the shift pattern and logic. But it is less sluggish even without the stage 1 tune.
    It is a fun car when you optimise the gearbox and a slight boost pressure increase for the turbocharger.

    Hi,
    I have the opel version (the same just brand badging) and for the “funny” reaction of the brake pedal it comes from the fact that for the first cm of the pedal it will just use an increasing rate of breaking generation and than the physical brake system will suddenly “kicks” in when you press further on the pedal.
    So you can manage to stop the car gently only using the “break pedal assist regenerating breaking” if you concentrate enough of the way you press on the break pedal! 🤣🤣🤣

    I drove one of these as a courtesy car. I'm not super tall (6") but i COULD NOT find a driving position that worked. My knee ALWAYS hit the steering wheel when coming off the clutch. Could not understand how they managed that. I had the seat as low as it goes, the wheel as high as it goes. I had 2 options, either have the seat so far back that i was reaching for the pedals (not safe) or to cock my leg to the side when coming off the clutch.
    Also I don't have abnormally large feet (size 9) but there was NOT SPACE in the footwell for my feet. There wasn't enough room to the left of the clutch for my shoes which meant it was possible to clip the clutch when resting my feet....

    @TheBlueskythoughts 2 года назад +20

    I’m on my 2nd CorsaE through the VX Employee scheme (family member). On the whole Matt’s review is fair, the single biggest failure of the car for me is the battery range. In winter the range is reduced by around 20% and that’s before you start using stuff like heated seats and steering wheel etc. I’ve never had a full charge of more than 195 miles. The trim level is good and the profile setting allows for the car to be set up for different drivers but there are areas where the French arm of PSA (now Stelantis)have got the upper hand with trim level and looks.
    Overall the car is a joy to drive and for commuting this type of vehicle should be a no brainier but the showroom price is ridiculous for a car that can realistically only accommodate two adults.

    • @Tresla

      For me, it's quite a bit worse. It's more like half the range in the winter. I couldn't get 100 miles this past winter, whereas I'm getting closer to 180 during the summer months.

      The brakes are also very spongy. Because of the regen braking, it's hard to judge how much pressure to apply, because you're not actually applying pressure to anything - It's all electronic. And the transition between the regen braking and the physical brakes leaves a lot to be desired.

They have today suggested it could be at least 6 months to get the part which is £1.800. The car is 9 months old now. From what i can make out its a common fault. Nobody seems to know what their doing to diagnose and repair. Ive had to fight with Vauxhall as they tried to blame me for the fault, yet if you take a electric car on a motorway and you need to charge, (and you will if going any distance) most of the charging ports are broken because the pins have pushed back, this must damage the charging port on the car if your the unfortunate one to be using it at that point. I did love it, now i cant wait to get rid of it, and im dreading the government’s electric car plans.

    I own one, almost identical to the one in the review (apart of the color and the left drive, and of course the brand, because it's Opel) and I actually find it better than its Peugeot sister.
    It may be less fancy (it is), but they are basically identical in terms of usage, behaviour and spaces, and the interiors of the Corsa are far more practical than the 208.
    The seat position, without that mini steering wheel of Peugeot, is better and more adjustable, the options are the same, and the screen behind the steering is far more readable than the one on the 208.
    Basically, with the Corsa you are not losing anything except of flavour against the 208, and between the two I've chosen the Corsa.
    There are not many options of electic-decently-powered-non-suv-b-segment cars.
    Two of them are the Corsa and the 208, and I think the Corsa is preferable unless you really like the 208 aesthetic.

      The rest are suv, and otherwise we have to jump directly to the Model 3, a 4.70ish meter long car.
