    Bad Points: From standing the corsa sri cdti is a bit slow, due to turbo lag. also have noticed that on a bumby country lane the ride is very harsh. and finally, the traction controle steps in far to soon. Under heavy bracking the car is all over the place, it would be ok if you could turn it off and have a little fun.


    General comments: My Corsa SRi cdti is fantastic. I have had a bit of work done to the engine and exaust. Now getting 176 bhp at 2700 rpm. (dyno tested) purformance is electric. Form 20mph the car will instantley go. Fuel economy is still very good im still getting 42 mpg even with mods.
    Generally the car is fantastic, and it still felt solid and stable. Its midrange performance is equil if not better than the VXR (friend has one). Would well recomend. cdti over 16 turbo.

    I have had my Corsa SRI CDTI for about 2 years now. I bought it from my local Vauxhall dealer when it was just over a year old. It is now about to run out of warranty. I say this because in the time that I have had it , it must have spent over 2 months in the garage (on and off) and the A.A assistance that comes with the car has been useful as most of the time it goes, the dealer is on the back of a recovery truck !. The biggest problem with the car was that it kept stalling and then wouldn't st ...

    I only had mine for a short time and I can already say that the fuel costs are pretty low, I'd get about 110 mpg out of 10 pounds and I put my foot down a lot. only problem I got is a rattley sound from engine when I'm driving [only when the engine is cold] I'm trying to find out what that is and get it fixed.

    I have had the car for over 3 months now. I Bought it with 28,000 miles on the clock and was well chuffed because it looks mint and is very fast but it all went down hill from there! I Noticed that there were some strange rattling noises coming from the turbo - I took it to my local Vauxhall garage and they found that the turbo had blown. Then followed another 10 visits to repair more problems including the fuel injection system blowing, CD player burning out, both back light panels becoming fau ...

    Vauxhall Corsa 1.7 SRI CDTI City Car Review
    I previously owned a Vectra 1.8 SRI, but with the 30,00 miles a year I do, it was becoming a bit too costly. I figured a smaller car would do the job I wanted & looked for something sporty yet economical. The Corsa SRI Diesel filled the role. I got it at 6 months old with 14000 on for £9K through Network Q - Very good value. It only needs servicing annually or every 30000 miles & I reguarly get 50mpg at motorway speeds. It accellarates brilliant ...

    This Vauxhall Corsa 1.7 SRI CDTI is my 4th Corsa and easily my favourite. A great car to drive. Acceleration from 0 to about 25 is OK but requires fairly swift gear changes from 1st to 2nd. It's only when you get above 30 and the turbo kicks in that you really appreciate the power. At about 2400 rpm the turbo start whistling and off you go! The torque from the engine is awesome hardly any loss of performance when fully loaded or carrying a roof box/bikes etc. The suspension is tight and wi ...
