Final Report: Vauxhall takes its Corsa
We've had to say goodbye to the Vauxhall Corsa that's been in my possession for the past six months. Due to the coronavirus restrictions, it's not covered the miles it might have done in pre-pandemic times - no M25 trips to the office, no weekends away to stay with relatives, no long treks taking children to distant sporting competitions - but it has made it off the driveway often enough during lockdown, particularly when searching for new countryside walks, for me to know that I'll miss this 'sporty number'.
That's Vauxhall's description for the Corsa in SRi trim, which is how ours came equipped. It's one rung up the specification ladder from SE, which means the interior gets extras such as alloy-effect sports pedals, a Sport mode button, 'sports-style' front seats and tinted rear windows. There's also a sporty-looking flat-bottomed leather steering wheel, although it is standard throughout the range.
