The Corsa is made in Spain, in Saragossa. The UK is the only country where it’s badged as a Vauxhall. Everywhere else ( including the Irish Republic), it’s an Opel. Vauxhall’s supermini hasn’t been made in England since the Chevette finished production. To be fair, the 208 isn’t made in France, either. It’s built in Slovakia. Rather Spain or Slovakia than China, is what I say. The first MG3 was a rebadged Rover Steetwise, which was a crossover Rover 200. When MG went bust, it was all shipped off to China. Long live European car manufacturing. By the way, if you’ve never been to Saragossa, go there. It’s beautiful, especially for the Marian festival. Never seen so many people walking round a city holding a guitar! 😅

3.20 any one who needs “expensive feeling materials” is a real sad nerd, what a way to assess a car, it’s hilarious. 😂😂😂

Vauxhall hasn’t been a British car company since 1925, brought by General Motors. Vauxhall has since been rebadged German Opel cars. Now owned by PSA group who owns Peugeot and Citroen . Vauxhall and Peugeot might as well be the same car ..

208 is the better car on the inside with design of the interior. Main problem with both cars & Citroen c3 plus a couple other models from the same group, is a design fault cambelt issue to look out for on the pure tech 1.2, 3 pot engine. If buying one check the cambelt for wear/cracking & swelling even on low mileage & a few years old.

If I had to choose between the two - I'd go for the Peugeot. It just looks better, more stylish on the outside; and a classier interior - I like the Peugeot's dashboard more. But I imagine despite the two being virtually the same car - the Peugeot being the one that's the better one to drive.

I don’t understand Vauxhall is owned by the French it’s not GM no more

I have driven both of these cars as we were looking to change my wife’s car. The corsa is a cracking little car and we were about to buy when we tried the Peugeot. What a great car this Pug is. We chose the Peugeot in 130 GT guise and it’s a little firecracker. Great quality and stylish interior (that outweighs the small disadvantage stupid screen). It’s got more youthful looks than the Corsa . With the GT 130 model you get a great handling set up and in sport mode is surprisingly swift. My car is an F Type R but it’s quite often that we chose to take the Pug on a trip as it’s fun without the hassle of parking and driving such a big and powerful car.

I’d go for the Corsa - the Peugeot’s interior is ghastly, and I have never understood the ergonomic disaster they’ve created with the silly small steering wheel / oddly placed instruments concept. Funny how no other car manufacturer has adopted it…….maybe because it doesn’t work!

Maybe people don’t want to buy the top of the range in the 208 and not get key features without a lot of add on. Whereas the Corsa has them included. Hmmm.

Wet belt?

❤❤❤❤❤love this lady telling g the truth that most cars are owned and made by the same company,,, if the advertising wasn't so expensive and the taxes and share holdings lower cars in europe would be 3 times lower... a bit like coca cola cost about 1 penny to produce and put on the shelf , per litre, one third of a litre of cola £1 . Profit per litre about £2.99 including tax... the rest of the programme about how a car performs rubbish.

The Opel Corsa is indeed made in Spain by Stellantis, a Franco-Italo-American company. The Vauxhall brand was last British-owned 99 years ago in 1925. Saying its from Luton really would be quite the pork pie. I personally prefer the German-style seriousness of the Opel interior. I’m not on board with the Peugeot i-Cockpit at all.

Agree with Rebecca - but for a different reason - that Peugeot interior is awful, with a driving position that just doesn't work for shorter people - and they could both do with more steering weight - that's what made the Fiesta so good.

Stella this own both so?

Vauxhall not British and all their models are to be honest the budget version of the Peugeot, and worse seem to have included the harder German spec seating which is far worse than the usual French comfy seating.

Compare these two with new MG3

Well, personally I wouldn't buy a Chinese car on principle. MG are now wholly a Chinese car company. The British MG company is dead.....the Chinese were somehow allowed to buy the company.....and ressurect the MG name. Not sure how they got away with this.....but anyway. I would prefer to compare the Vauxhall Corsa and the Peugeot 208, to the Renault Clio.

The Peugeot with its climate controls on the touch screen sounds rather fiddly and dangerous as had been mentioned that touchscreens can be distracting for drivers. If you can't use a mobile when driving why should it be OK to be fiddling and looking at a touchscreen?!

Either or... Just trade them in before the warranty runs out 🙄

Apart from the looks there's literally no difference between these two cars.😂

I know it’s been a while now, but I’m just gonna say it…. I’m not okay, with the whole Stellantis thing 😮 I just can’t get onboard with Dodge, Vauxhall, Fiat , Maserati, Citroen and other being the same company 😂

Totally 100% agree 👍 Vauxhall is no longer Vauxhall,, Totally lost its identity & now their vehicles are 'French clones'' I'm afraid 😨 🎉

German* or French. It's an Opel.

Yes quite strange to call it British especially as reviewer is knows cars. Perhaps marketing?

You mean French and German owned by the French. Vauxhall is just a marketing division of Opel and hasn't designed a vehicle independently of Opel since the original Viva.

Identical cross company cars? Thats a breach of patent. There is no way citreon and vauxhall are identical. So the title is a lie!

The Peugeot is an optical mess.

Nice to see and hear from you luv, but nobody in the states, across the pond, would buy a french car. they were run out of here 50 years ago due to lousy quality. 💯🤔🧐🤨
