I've seen pics of prototypes of that car wearing the black and white camouflage which means it had the production version body. If you have any info about the name of the GM's platform it would use or the drivetrain or even some renderings or pics of one with light camouflage and you want to help me please reply me with what you have.

I like these! I have one as a courtesy car and it’s you can 100% tell Vauxhall is now French-owned. But the power from the 100hp 1.2T is quite impressive and punchy enough for sure
Can you guys state the power levels with each engine option you list please?
Went from Aussie to the UK and on a couple of occasions hired a 'small car' and got a Corsa. They've obviously improved, because in the early days, my wife and I agreed on something, and that was we'd never hired a car that was more aptly named. A coarser Corsa would be hard to find.. The latest iteration is obviously a great improvement.

America hate its peoppe to have 1.2 litter engines, all engines in usa have 3.0 1.8 its embarrasing
I've got one of these for a week while my mazda3 is in for body repair. I had a 308 GT 130 with this engine but I swear this is faster despite being 30bhp down. Maybe the 8 speed auto helps as the changes are practically seamless. Totally agree with the ten to two control stalks, it just feels weird. Also the use of plastics throughout, I recall my astra K felt cheap in this respect. Equipment level is astonishing on the one I have, practically auto everything. Would I actually buy one? Well, my experience with this engine is not the best. They run a cambelt in oil which caused no me end of problems resulting in a trade in on the aforementioned mazda. The belts are known to disintegrate and block the oil ways and worst case scenario will destroy the engine. Supposedly this has been fixed with a new belt material update from 2017 on but the jury is still out on the longevity. PSA currently have a recall of over half a million puretechs from 2013 - 17. The engine is currently being re-engineered to use a timing chain.

Everyone keeps saying that but I don't get it, they're horrible little things, the engine and automatic transmission suck, the air condition is crap and the dashboard was lit up like a christmas tree and the oil light even came on, I checked the oil and it was at the correct level but it was diluted with petrol. Badly designed cheaply put together. 3 weeks I was stuck with this rubbish. My Toyota Auris 2016 is far superior.
One of the few small cars with a 6th gear. So pleasant on the highway. I got the corsa e (2015) and i love it.

I have one corsa edition, benzine. and its tooo quite :/ im thinking of buying the gs line but not for sure ..
As everyone I had a courtesy car one of these! Besides the very quiet speakers and really high clutch and brake pedals I liked it. Very nippy, 1.2t 100 ps is way faster than the 100ps fiesta I used to have.
I do like the Corsa it's a good looking car great 1.2 engine and I can see the speedometer which is a bonus ... IV heard bad things about the reliability already I'll wait a few years so I'll stick with the Kia Rio GT line 7 year warranty and all.

How big is it... Nearly the size of the astra... And price really....
Some young people pretty much forced into buying a corsa because it tends to be cheap on insurance
It seems like everyone has had one as a courtesy car 😂
I really like it
I had one of these as a courtesy car while my car was in for body repairs it was a manual. The gears were notchy it skipped and jumped on the road when cornering after going over a small pothole. Head rest pushes your head forward making it uncomfortable drive. The pedles were to close together kept getting my feet caught on brake clutch.Couldn't wait to get my own karando back it's more economical to drive and a lot smoother .the previous model corsa my wife used to have was much better car to drive now she has a tivoli much better car than the Peugeot/corsa

Why there are no Opel cars in UK? Is Opel illegal there?
Can someone tell me the background musics name?
Good job on wearing a pair of trousers to match the colour of the car :D
Unfortunately, Opel/Vauxhall are just an extension of the PSA line-up nowadays. Yes, I know they were owned by GM, but they didn't quite borrow anything from GM during that time since Opel/Vauxhall were kind of the european division of Chevy, so they were fully developed in Europe and for Europe and that really set them apart from the American designed GM cars, and it even gave them their own source of identity. And, now, it's pretty much the other way around, as almost everything featured on the new Corsa is taken straight away from other PSA cars in order to cheapen the project.
Do you mean Opel did a good job, right? Or is this one somehow designed in the UK

It's really grown up, literally, as in it's like twice the size of the of the original corsa 😁
Inside is nice but I really do think like the shape the front needs a new design very disappointed

You wanted to say, Opel designed new Corsa on PSA platform? And its 6 generation Corsa!
Spec for spec you’ll get more kit in your Corsa than you will in a Polo, I know I’ve done the comparison and nobody ever pays list price at Vauxhall, plus interest rates from Vauxhall finance are usually significantly lower than what Volkswagen offer.

good car review 10/10
Is this a manual car?
A touch of KA+ in the back end. And making the car so low won't appeal to the older demographic, it's a no brainer if you look at sales of the Dacia Sandero Stepway, Renault Captur etc., the 'grey' money will go elsewhere.
Why are people complaining about the price? Vauxhall vehicles are available with substantial discounts everywhere.
Great car overall, the price is a little steep for a Corsa but perhaps wait a few months and buy one used, proper bargain

Looks dated already.
I've driven one today, 166 miles of pain. The gear lever is cheap and it moves a bit every time you put your foot on the gas, pedals are way too crowded (clutch and break pedals are way too close to each other), the rest pad for the left foot is extremely small(cannot be used, that's how small it is). Ah, and the seats are not fantastic either, on entry levels at least. It is the first time I've struggled to find a decent and comfortable driving position. It drives well on back country secondary roads as long as you don't need to change gears. I'm 6ft 1" and shoe size 8.5 so I should fit and feel comfortable in the cabin....
