Used Vauxhall Corsa for sale

About the Vauxhall Corsa

The Vauxhall Corsa is one car that you’ll surely see a lot of on UK roads – and for good reason. It's a reminder of all that’s fun about the smaller hatchback, and it has long kept a loyal fanbase.   

A used Vauxhall Corsa will be nippy on the roads and a lot of fun to drive, but it’s still doable for new drivers and has a comfortable and well-laid-out cabin.  

Even though it’s been around since the 90s, the Corsa keeps itself relevant by tapping into the current desires of drivers – think fuel-efficient engines, compact styling for those packed-out roads, and a sleek and sporty shape.   

It’s rare that one car can be the favourite of both a boy-racer and your nan, but the Corsa really is that versatile. With a massive range of engines and trims to choose from, there’s something for every motorist.   

There’s a choice of petrol, diesel and electric models, plus a range of trims that includes the sporty Corsa VXR.

What features does the Vauxhall Corsa have?

The huge range of Vauxhall Corsa models available means there’s a crazy number of features hanging around.

There are the standard models – still kitted out with Bluetooth connectivity, Isofix car seat points, extra storage, and a boot of around 300 litres – but you can choose to go up a few levels and get all the extra options.  

Maybe you’d be tempted by a built-in infotainment system, parking sensors and cameras, or heated seats? There are Corsa models that really pull out all the stops when it comes to their features and kit, making comfort and function their main priority.  

We particularly love the digital dashboard and navigation system that comes with the newer models – it’s easy to use and very streamlined. If looks are what appeals to you, there’s always a huge range of Corsa models available with different interior and exterior styling, so you can go for the entry-level setups or something really fancy.  

That’s a big selling point of the Vauxhall Corsa – there’s a range of trims to choose from, but even the entry-level models are beautifully usable and well done.  

What is the Vauxhall Corsa like to drive?

The Vauxhall Corsa does have a bit of a reputation for being a sporty little hatchback, thanks to the loyal fans it’s gained among young motorists.  

It’s true – you can grab a model with an impressive engine like the Corsa VXR and its 1.6-litre turbocharged setup, known to be capable of 0-60mph in around 6.5 seconds. This is ideal if you like a pop of power behind the wheel.  

There are plenty of choices on the Corsa that pack in high performance as a priority. If that’s not up your street (or driveway!), there’s the Corsa Nav line that comes in a few variations and are equally as enjoyable to drive, without being too sport-focused. These ones are full to the brim with equipment and tech, so you’ll feel right up to date.   

Either way, all Corsa models are comfortable and feel safe and stable on the roads. It’ll accompany you on your daily drives, but it won’t feel boring and sluggish like some other hatchbacks.
