A good price and free insurance for the first year helped as I was a new driver at the time.

None!!! Well, ok servicing costs apart none! Petrol lasted for weeks, easily 45-50mpg.

Driving
This was my first car when I bough it and it was great. Good driving position and responsive handling.
Performance
For a 1.0 five door, it was quite good. I had previously driven a Yaris and A 1.6 Focus while learning, the Corsa compared favourably! By no means slow, I could beat quite a few cars at the lights!

Living with it
Reliability
The car never let me down - I only sold it to upgrade to an Astra!
Image
It's a Vauxhall - and for me, that means it's great and looks really good. The words Vauxhall, practicality and sophistication go together very well indeed!
Comfort
Quite good, I didn't get backache from trips from Manchester to Scotland.

Security and Service
Security
Sadly no alarm, but the immobiliser and deadlocks seemed ok.
Service
Customer service is something to be looked at but generally ok.
