The most popular car is currently
the Vauxhall Corsa because of its
suitability, reliability and low purchase
and running costs.

Its also the one with the most recalls on the DSA recall list.

I had the misfortune to use a Corsa recently - it was heavy to drive; gearchange was like stirring concrete.
The fuel conumption on the diesel I used was an appalling 30mpg.
Rear visibility poor; front seats rocked and didn't feel stable.
It rattled like an old British Rail train and didn't give any hint of being only 6 month old!

Thankfully I am now back in my beloved Renault Clio diesel.

It is the best car I have ever used and I will have another, and recommend them to anyone!

I agree. I have used a Renault Clio for two years, it's cheap to insure, economic on fuel (diesel - 55mpg) and comfortable and easy to drive. My learners love it. I think it's cheaper to buy than the Corsa too, when you compare like-for-like features.

I teach in a corsa - I find them really easy to teach in BUT Im not sure about the new style personally I find the back windows too small hence making it difficult to see out while doing the manouvers (sorry if thats spelt wrong). I have a old sytle corsa but when it comes to getting a new car then I think it be time to change to a different make unless Vauxhall comes to their senses and change the sytle again.
