I drove one of these as a courtesy car. I'm not super tall (6 ) but i COULD NOT find a driving position that worked. My knee ALWAYS hit the steering wheel when coming off the clutch. Could not understand how they managed that. I had the seat as low as it goes, the wheel as high as it goes. I had 2 options, either have the seat so far back that i was reaching for the pedals (not safe) or to cock my leg to the side when coming off the clutch.
Also I don't have abnormally large feet (size 9) but there was NOT SPACE in the footwell for my feet. There wasn't enough room to the left of the clutch for my shoes which meant it was possible to clip the clutch when resting my feet.
Cannot recommend for slightly-larger-than-average men.

I recently had a new Corsa for the day and couldn't believe how awful it was
Back in the day I had a mk1, mk2 and a mk3 and even the mk1 drove better
This thing even managed to fall sideways into potholes
The interior is a cheap nasty disaster - try climbing in a 208 after and you will see the difference
Yes, the pug is a class above and manages to look better too
I can't believe vauxhall still makes cars this bad, disappointing to say the least

Watching this while still waiting for my Corsa E Ultimate. I was supposed to get it this month but got pushed back to October due to supply shortages.
Apparently, the charging unit of the car is made in one single factory in one single country. And not only for this car, but for almost all major car brands. Guess what country this is? It starts with U and ends with kraine. yeah.

The shark is an easter egg. Since 2004, there is a shark hidden in the interior of every Opel (thats Vauxhalls original German name) model. And its continued to this very day! The designer of the Corsa hid the first shark inside the glovebox to amuse his son, which makes the whole story even sweeter in my opinion.

The Corsa is the no. 1 selling car in the UK, so I guess people like cars to look as dull as possible. Bit sad really.
From an EV standpoint this is another with a completely redundant grill on the front and even a gearstick. You won't find such nonsense on ground up EVs, such as anything from Tesla.

I can see a future where car manufacturers will be sorry to see the day where the average person can't afford their most basic vehicles. And go bust. Plus a huge stockpile of planet destroying lithium batteries no one knows what to do with.

If you're going electric in this segment I'd still recommend the Zoe over this, despite the NCAP rating. It's got more space in the back, more space in the boot, it's faster, more efficient, goes much further and the infotainment is leagues ahead.

Vauxhall have recently updated the Corsa-e range and the top spec Ultimate has an electrically adjustable, massaging driver's seat and adaptive cruise now. Previously, the top spec EV was one trim level lower than the ICE cars

Since Opel (Vauxhall) has been acquired by PSA.
I have driven both the latest Peugeot 208 and the Corsa.
Still, my preference went to the 208. The 208 felt more solid. Especially Intereur and the gearbox.
