2017 (171) Opel Corsa

The 2015 Opel Corsa was given a new lease of life with an interior and exterior makeover that brought it bang up to date and on par with its rivals. All models bar the base entry level come with a touchscreen infotainment system which looks the part and is extremely user-friendly. All Corsas come with a respectable level of standard equipment that includes a heated windscreen and hill-start assist while all models also come with six airbags as standard. There is 280 litres of space in the boot and this can be further extended by folding the split rear seats. There is a great range of engines to choose from including the 1.3 CDTi diesel which offers an incredible 74 miles per gallon. There is a solidity and tawt feeling to the steering that makes it an enjoyable car to drive and not just for learner drivers or the traditional Corsa market.
