2015 Vauxhall Corsa SXi 1.4 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Cheap fun run about
Faults:
Mostly wear and tear. Only real issue is recently the clutch is juddering on release but still engages fine. No rust, but be aware at around nine/ten years old the subframe on Corsas starts to rust. Can be expensive to replace. Might be an advisory next MOT. But I do look after it well with all services, and keep it clean and garaged.
General Comments:
If you want cheap to run reliable transport, the Corsa is a fine choice. My 2015 car still feels as good as new.
SXi model is common and it's a good spec with all the electrics you would expect and need. Seats are very comfortable and so is the ride. The car is remarkably quiet for a smaller car. Pleasant to drive.
1.4 petrol engine with the manual transmission is fun and nippy, and regularly does over 40 mpg; for petrol you won't get much better than that. I'd avoid the diesels, they are complicated and problematic at this age and mileage. But a looked after petrol engine should not cause you any trouble.
Cheap tax, insurance and servicing.
Vauxhall really got this Corsa right, it is the ideal car for anyone. I have almost nothing negative to say about it. Best looking generation as well in my opinion.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
