hi ,

just interested in how the corsa compares to the fiesta in terms of performance. I was a passenger in the fiesta and it had a nice lil grunt and power to it. is there a big waiting list for it?

The new Vauxhall 1 litre engine gets really good reviews. In this one Auto Express are recommending you go for it: Certainly, the 1.0 is much better than the 1.4-litre engine, which only has 98bhp, and doesn't feel close to its claim of 200Nm. The car is thrashy, slow and not very economical - and it doesn't have the character of the 1.0-litre unit either, which simply must be picked if you want to be at all satisfied with your Corsa ownership. it is a supremely refined engine. Around town or at higher speeds, there's very little noise from the engine in the cabin and even from low revs it pulls surprisingly strongly.
