The Vauxhall Corsa is one of the best superminis around, and a looker with it. The Corsa has a good interior. Its plastics are nicely crafted, the fabrics grown-up and it gets a further lift from some of the colour schemes which are more lively than usual but don't attract the attentions of the taste police. Vauxhall Corsa Performance powered with 1.0 three-cylinder, which sounds good but does nothing. A 17-second 0-60 time really is out of order. Even the 1.2 is sluggish, and while 1.4 is plenty in many superminis it's about the bare minimum for the comparatively porky Corsa. A 1.6 turbo in the SXi is pretty sparkling without the chavvy image of the VXR.
