Good Points

Good looking and cheap to run


Bad Points

After sales service, road noise(?) - sounds like dry bearings. Not easy to configure seats into load space and all the basic extras boost the price up!


General Comments

In my opinion the Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 LS doesn't compete with it's rivals! The engine whilst very well designed and with long service intervals seems to hiccup when you pull away and needs 3000RPM+ to really get going! Perhaps a VVTi version is needed? There is no proper automatic gearbox in the 1.0/1.2 range only the 1.4 (cambelted) engine has a proper hydraulic gearbox (at the time of writing?) But on the plus side, after 4 years and 29,000 miles I've only changed the wipers/headlight bulbs and replaced the front brake pads which isn't bad at all - it has also never failed to start first time!
