2024 updated Vauxhall Corsa - How much has changed? (petrol 1.2) UK 4K

[@matthewgodwin3050]

Clicked on this by accident, but stayed with it because it's a great review. Glad Vauxhall have kept a petrol only variant in the range. If you just want a no nonsense runabout, don't have allocated parking or access to a home charger, and don't want the hassle of using public chargers, then this would still be the best option. And for longer journeys, you don't have to worry about range anxiety. For those of us with busy lives who want a car we don't really have to think about very much, the new Corsa is perfect. I think it's great.

[@barriepountney3598]

I am still a Petrol man so I appreciate your reviews on these models I now think of the two recent ones I would go for the Clio 😊

[@Leonfr_2022]

When did cars get so much, £19k for a 75hp Corsa!! Less than 10 years ago I thought my top spec fiesta was expensive at £17k

[@richard_runs]

When people got duped into “buying” cars on PCP

[@crowthorne1]

You can by the base model for under £15.00 massive discounts on the corsa. So you don’t pay anything like list price

[@TheDarrenP]

All about emissions and making money trying to drive people away from driving.

[@LeKretch]

@@crowthorne1where are these prices?

[@garyknight8432]

17k still too expensive tbh.

[@Denistone]

Yes. Love small, affordable, maybe even MANUAL cars 😍

[@itsthedaveee]

Another great review Tish! I think these drive pretty well for what they are and even with only 100bhp it's a torquey little engine and suits it well. All hail small cars whilst we still can 😅 you're looking lovely as well 😇

[@Mike_5]

Nice skilled drive there Tish and down to earth review

[@napoleoniclegominifigures]

Thank you - just the video I was looking for.

[@stphnwheeler]

A very informative review your comments are useful. Personally, I felt that the previous Corsa had a classier design than the current 208, but in this guise, it's bland and grim looking, and reminds of the new boxy 2024 Citroen C3. I'd take the Clio or Peugeot 208 than the updated Corsa.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Thanks for sharing!

[@thedogz9689]

Great review and looking stunning Tish 😍😍

[@pauledwards7544]

Another good video, really enjoyed the review, I was looking at the new corsa the other day, I have the corsa griffin, this new GS version is like a step backwards, no rear discs, just drum brakes, no rear tinted windows, no real 10 inch full screen, took away the the heated seats/steering wheel, unless you pay for the top spec car.

[@richardcarne753]

It looks nice and came on the channel to see what the verdict was against my current Corsa elite premium nav automatic one that you tested in 2019 or 2020

[@JackKing12.]

Looking great Tish...😊

[@vijaymistry4169]

We have one small car and one hatchback. Small cars are great for local town driving, city centres and for parking. Makes navigation really easy, we will miss them as EV cars are massive, heavy and difficult for our small English roads.

[@ykpr]

Love your review and your style !

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi, Great review on the new face lifted Corsa, still a nice little car. I know at this time EV's and petrol electric are the in thing, but I am a big fan of the petrol engine, always had petrol engine cars in my 34 years of driving never owned or will never buy a diesel car my currant car is a Toyota Avensis 1.8 petrol a good family car. But this car is going to be a good seller I've always like the Corsa. Great video and a good test drive, Take care👍

[@axnn1]

What’s stopped you from going for a diesel?

[@djrichylaurence8991]

I bought a 2011 1.4 sxi a few years ago. Its been very good and the only main thing it's needed is an exhaust. Goes well also but good little cars and probably would buy a later one but not electric.

[@lesleyaxox]

can a girl not review a car and not get any weird comments ? (obviously not) 🤣 really informative though , looking to go from one tiny hatchback to a bigger but still on the small side car so this is top of my list !

[@alundavies5171]

i like the chrome on my 22 corsa ultimate!!

[@Finglebat]

I love your reviews, thanks for the effort. Can't wait to see the Dacia Duster 3, I think you will give a real review of how good or bad it is. Thanks again, keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@user-zh9kc7tw4n]

The biggest issue people will have is the 1.2litre engine with a wet timing belt. How many miles will it last before you need a very expensive replacement and oil pump clean up. Good video though

[@markgillespie8842]

Nice vid tish, but I'm sure the people still want to see the last vxr review 😅x

[@Mastermindthreethousand]

Ideal for the young working class to start with. Reminds me of my Peugeot 205 Enfant Terrible in my early 20's. Though I payed just €12.000 However, 20yrs later and considering the evolution in technology, the price seems acceptable but the trick for young starter earners is to keep it simple and basic.

[@rickidango8969]

Saw one when I took my Mokka E for a service. Looks really nice but best to wait a few months and get a used one.

[@ndie8075]

Here in Germany the model called Corsa......19.000,- Euro for the Basic....is very much to expensive..die not affordable.....greetings to our english cousins....we have the same problems...

[@afcgeo882]

With that emergency brake demo I really think I saw your whole life flash before my eyes.

[@brianjohnstone394]

Hand brake

[@afcgeo882]

@@brianjohnstone394 Yes. It’s also officially called an “emergency brake”.

[@edwardott7239]

The Corsa looks nice enough (I guess), but the price is a bit steep compared to others of that size. You (on the other hand), look smashing in that outfit! Perhaps have a poster made of yourself in that, Tish? (p.s. - I'd buy one for sure!) ❤

[@colintx800]

I've seen these engines fail at 20000 miles because the oil pick up gets blocked. The rubber wet belt cracks then it can starve the engine of oil. Can be very expensive to fix and require a engine rebuild, so please do your research people!

[@keijak1]

Is this on Corsas or the Peugeot derivative? What is the cause of the pick up getting blocked, is it the belt breaking down?

[@conogrady9254]

Tish, you're a LEGendand❤😅

[@napnaps7393]

My corsa sting was around £9k with £250 deposit and £174pcm 7yrs ago crazy prices now😢

[@AutoSocialUK]

Crazy and I think that might have even been quite a high monthly payment at the time! I used to pay £99 for my VW up!

[@napnaps7393]

@@AutoSocialUK whattttt?!! £99! But I did have the premium for mileage as I was a community nurse otherwise it would have been capped at 6k. I still have the same Corsa little beastie has done me good over the years, very minor issues and hasn’t broken the bank. Only flaws is that it’s a bit of a donkey up hills and it has no air con 🥹

There are a few versions of the infotainment system being deployed it seems as the Astra style full screen (meaning wide Car Play) is available on some units, perhaps the Ultimate spec.

[@malcolmyoung2776]

Ive got a design version auto , goes very well with it's 100 bhp engine

[@mojomomo1475]

By the time the car has a 1.2 engine with enough power (130ps) its £30k. This is a massive price for a small car with a budget design and feel. No chance id buy, even used.

[@grahamherbert3612]

I remember seeing the promotional artwork and factory photographs for both the Mk8 Astra and Corsa, I was really impressed, and considering trading my Mk7 Astra VX 1.4 T SRI, until I discovered the limp petrol engine options, and then saw the Astra on a forecourt. I couldn't believe how a car in a photograph could look so good, and up close be so disappointing. With their financial commitment to the EV, they've dropped a huge bollock.

[@lawrenceedwards7344]

Can you find any Opel cars in UK, or are they all rebranded as Vauxhall?

[@robsmall6466]

Years ago we had models like the Opel Manta on sale in the UK. Occasionally I've seen the odd Insignia on UK plates ( early models ) All the current models have the Griffin Vauxhall badge on the front

[@jaystravelshots4625]

Please please please...guys do a big research before you buy any car with 1.2 puretech engine that runs with wetbelt. Bought a grandland x last month with only 20k miles and now engine fault and towed into garage. Till now they couldn't find out whats wrong. Thinking wet belt degradation went inside engine. Now fighting with them for car replacement. Please dont buy any car with puretech engine. Also warning be careful with ford ecoboost engine aswell

[@edmundhayes1840]

Great review. I'm not sure if that front visor suits small cars like this. Peugeot looks way better

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

Um, Tiš, the Corsa Hybrid will be a mild hybrid, not a strong hybrid. Same one used in the facelifted 208.

[@AutoSocialUK]

That’s a shame

[@garyknight8432]

Wife had a corsa, a century from 0-60. 1.2l was a hell of a lump. Spend a few more quid and get something decent.

[@Vonklieve]

I paid 12k for my 68 plate Corsa, it came with heated seats and steering as free. So, not sure why the "new" base model comes in at 19k...A mere 6 years later. I think I will look at the Dachia Sandero. But I understand that is made by Renault, which I avoid like the plague...

[@Silver-st2zq]

Are they still using that PureTech engine that is the question? and if so no thanks it has a long history of problems.

[@juxty3102]

Why oh why did they think it was a good idea to use a wet belt system. A rubber belt running through hot oil.

[@paulc0773r]

I’m not convinced with a lot of these generic car designs now…all starting to look very samey to me Tish. Creativity and expression are being sacrificed in the pursuit of technology and cars are about more than just being a useful tool to use. We have an attachment to cars that goes beyond other forms of technology. Great review as ever Tish

[@blackwidow7804]

6:20 i heavily disagree. Did you even try the 130hp version (i have the pre-facelift one)? Its night and day difference on this light car. The 100hp version does 100-150 kmh in around 20s and the 130hp does it in around 11s. Thats freaking 9s difference in acceleration at speeds that most people will drive at.

[@phildude9847]

I've got this car and it's great to drive but the phone charger and 12v outlet are rubbish, my phone actually loses charge when it's on it and the 12v won't charge my wife's oxygen machine, I took it to vaxhall and they said its a problem they have had before but there's nothing they can do about it

[@jakeianday]

I mean, I don’t know what it is, but Vauxhall should have kept diesel if they did a diesel in that that would be unreal. Diesel is good for longer distances and I think they’re stupid to not bring a diesel version out. Diesel is good for pulling so if you’re pulling trailers and stuff like that, if you had a petrol car it’s gonna use more fuel

[@AppleUK2000]

Thank you, still prefer the Peugeot 208

[@SimonsVids222]

Is it just me but every time I hear the Corsa referred to as a super mini - I spit my tea out. I have one - it’s massive? It’s the size of an Astra? Can’t understand why we refer to these cars as ‘small’ now, as it’s really misleading.

[@marcus.H]

Interesting 🤔 I just checked eBay and you can get a 2018 model for £2,995 Purely out of curiosity, what is it about a newer car that makes it worth 5 times as much money as a used car?

[@robsmall6466]

​@@marcus.HAn old debate. Peace of mind potentially. How was the used car cared for ? Serviced regularly ? Driven hard ? How many miles does the current owner intend putting on the car ? What's the underside corrosion with our British weather done to the car ? Nothing wrong with buying used whatsoever but once something is a couple of grand then be careful

[@marcus.H]

@@robsmall6466 modern cars will comfortably do 150,000 miles. If you pick on up for a fifth of the price with less than 50,000 miles and a full service history you'll have no trouble 🙂 unless it is JLR it will be reliable. These days you can save 10 grand or more. Who really cares even if you had a breakdown or 2. You'll easily be better off, even in a worse case scenario

[@robsmall6466]

@@marcus.H I'd say there are a good few more than just JLR ( I do know one guy locally who isn't happy with them at the moment with suspension issues ). It also depends on who is doing the MOT. Some vehicles on the road should no way have one and yet 🤷‍♂️. Not saying you can't do what you suggest. Nearly everyone starts that way with their first couple of cars. A reliable car is important for a lot of employers though. All depends on how hard the car is going to be worked and if it's been properly checked over before purchase. Although you can still have problems with new unfortunately

[@marcus.H]

@@robsmall6466 I went to college to be a mechanic. New cars are more likely to break down than old ones. As long as it has a full service history, it's fine. Check underneath to make sure it's not been crashed and take it for an MOT when you first get it. There's a good reason that new cars need a warranty. They break down
