Overview

Popular and practical supermini with two distinctive body styles – the five-door is the more spacious. Though it does not excel in any area, it’s a sound all-rounder that is increasingly good value as buyers turn towards more modern cars. Power steering is most desirable and enhances the driveability of any Corsa.
