VAUXHALL CORSA

If you're looking for a stylish, practical and good value supermini, the Vauxhall Corsa will suit everyone. It's better to drive than ever, and among the confusing array of similarly powered engines, it really stands out
The looks may be familiar, but Vauxhall has re-engineered a substantial proportion of the Corsa's running gear to ensure it can compete when it comes to driver engagement.
Around town, the City steering mode makes the wheel extremely light for parking, and it disengages at speeds above 30mph to deliver a more natural feel.
The Corsa comes with a 74bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine, that will give you an impressive 67mpg and only £30 road tax.
The wide rear bench makes this a genuine five-seat car for adults, there's a fair amount of interior storage, with door pockets capable of carrying a 1.5-litre bottle. The driver will find it easy to get a good driving position in the Corsa because there's plenty of seat and wheel adjustment and, vitally, the pedal placement is good.
