Vauxhall Corsa 1.3CDTi 16v Life ecoFLEX 75PS (a/c) 3dr
What is it?
THE greenest Vauxhall in history. New Corsa is the latest addition to the low-emission ecoFLEX range and while it doesn’t get stop-start or hybrid-style trickery, it does boast tweaked aerodynamics, longer gearing and a lower kerbweight to post some remarkable figures. Priced from £11,500 upwards.
What’s hot?
- Amazing fuel consumption of 70.6mpg combined…
- …and CO2 emissions of 105g/km mean penny pinching running costs
- Peppy performance from 74bhp 1.3-litre diesel engine
- Solidly built cabin
- Despite only five gears, motorway performance is okay
- Undercuts Fiesta ECOnetic by a staggering £2,500
- Stop-start version due next year will boast sub-100g/km
What’s not?
- Numb steering combines with leaden handling…
- …the result is a dreary driving experience
- Engine is noisy at start-up and once on the move
