Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

My wife and I wanted to buy a car with our two sons that they could use for work and leisure purposes and we could also use as a runaround in the local area as a second car. We found it just about to be advertised at an Arnold Clark dealership in Burton, some miles from where we live, but were convinced that it was worth travelling to see following extensive details and a video sent by the dealership. The car was a delight to drive and the dealership gave it plenty of attention to ensure that it was in immaculate condition when we went to complete the purchase. It is fitted with the winter and comfort packs, which give it heated seats and a heated steering wheel amongst the features. The SE spec has very comfortable seating and includes cruise control, making it good for slightly longer journeys as well. Having driven our oldest son's previous Corsa, I would recommend a very careful study of the specifications, as we have found that the two cars, though similar engine size, had very different specifications. Both were good to drive, but the spec of the SE model gives so much greater comfort, particularly with the winter pack included.

How reliable do you find the car?

My wife and I bought this Corsa second hand as a runaround car for local journeys, shared with our two sons. It has proved to be an excellent choice and a very reliable car.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

The SE specification on the Corsa raised it above the level of the Corsa 1.2L Life previously owned by our oldest son. It is a very comfortable and well provisioned model.
