Opel Corsa 1.4 5Dr Hatch Review
Why, of Corsa!

Want a compact German, but can't afford a small Beemer? The Corsa from Opel should interest you then...

Intro

The alarm clock rang. You hit the snooze button. Ten minutes later, it rang again. “Darn, it’s time to get up to go to work again, (insert swear word)” you thought to yourself. “Five minutes more. Just five”, then another, then another, then another – until finally, you’re forced to wake up by the prospect of an imminent sacking.

So, with only not much time left to get ready, you take a very quick shower, dress deliriously, take a gulp of morning coffee, grab the roti, drag your bag and quickly rush out of the house.

And now you’re taking quick steps to the car, fumbling for the car keys and bracing yourself for the next circle of hell – the commute to the office.

Does it have to be like this? Well according to Opel, no. What we have here is the latest compact hatch from the German automaker – the Opel Corsa 1.4. It’s designed to help you seize the day (the easy way) in the stressed out city.

Just make sure you don’t doze off at the wheel though…
