Used Vauxhall Corsa Cars For Sale

Overview

Competing in a tough small car market, the Vauxhall Corsa holds its own. It makes getting a well-kitted out and high-spec supermini affordable. With a huge range of engines and specs across all generations, it’s no surprise the Corsa is a long-standing UK favourite.

What you need to know about the Vauxhall Corsa

Instead of being a driver’s car, the Corsa is a user-friendly people-pleasing hatchback. That’s not to say you’ll be disappointed with the performance though. Whatever engine you choose, everything starts to stack up with the Corsa. It handles nicely, steering is responsive, grip around corners is impressive and most engines are surprisingly quiet. What it lacks in the fun-to-drive appeal of the Fiesta, it more than makes up for in convenience, comfort and general ease.

Vauxhall has avoided messing with their formula too much across generations. After all, why would they when it’s been a long-standing regular on the best-selling lists? Instead, they’re keeping the Corsa relevant with tweaks that make sense to drivers. Updating the engines, optimising driving experience and giving the car an upmarket feel both inside and out.

If you’re the type of person who spends a lot of time researching, the Corsa will come up time and time again as a practical choice.

What you need to watch out for

Vauxhall has successfully made the Corsa the grown-up choice of superminis. When we reviewed the lively little Red Edition, a very nippy 1.4 turbo petrol with 150ps, we were impressed with how the interior had been elevated well above the drabness of the previous version to become pleasant and modern. It now matches the quality under the bonnet. The same can’t always be said for older models.

Other options

• Ford Fiesta
• VW Polo
• Skoda Fabia

About the Vauxhall Corsa

Ultimately, what we're looking at here is a Corsa that can. It can be fun to drive. It can deliver a big car feel. And it can stack up well on the balance sheet. It's a small Vauxhall for which no apologies need to be made. It's not perfect of course. It doesn't lead its supermini class in the 2014-2018 era in terms of either space, efficiency or driving dynamics. And other rivals offer more efficient engines.The key though, is that this Vauxhall is there, or thereabouts, in the key areas that will interest potential buyers. Add to that the wide model line-up and the likely deals on offer and you've a supermini that more than ever, needs to remain high on any family's used supermini shopping list.
