Bad Points

Ride is firm and theres a bit of road noise. Engine is flat until the turbo kicks in, Diesel engine is noisy at tickover but fine once your on the move. Engine smokes a bit when cold


General Comments

The Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi is a fantastic car to use as a runabout in town driving. Saves us a fortune on fuel. At the minute £38.00 worth of fuel equates to just over 500 miles. In 7 months of town only driving including a daily commute of 10 miles that takes 30-40 minutes in standing traffic this car has averaged 57MPG. On a run on A roads it will do over 60MPG no preoblem. Air con and all electric windows. Acceleration is great although a bit on or off because of the turbo but its got a real kick to it. Three 3 point seat belts in rear. This is no sluggish diesel either. It has more than enough poke to keep up with the traffic and overtake on A roads where needed. Overall we will keep this thing for ever dfue to low fuel costs ease of driving a small car in town

    I found this review helpful because...I have not driven a small diesel car. Not sluggish. My main concern.
