Driving & Performance:
It is more planted, Squat, and purposeful; as it is available with different engines this is what makes Corsa a strong contender in efficient and powerful engine mini vehicles. According to Carwow.co.uk “it steers more keenly, turns more eagerly (especially the stiffer SRI model) and puts a bigger grin on your face as a result”. Corsa’s interior does not remain enough quiet on highways during high speeds but the car remains planted in the lane.
Overall its driving experience is more like Polo but with Turbocharged it is no doubt fun to drive but comfort is not as good as it should be and you may feel bumps more often on the road.
