Yeah will do, although I can only go on past Corsa's for reference
Plus as it is a hire car it will probably be a 1.0l

Hello
Right then I spent a long weekend with the new Corsa and I am still unsure on them
It has loads of road noise, you sit far to high up and the body roll is borderline scary.
However I forgot how great fuel consumption is I did 250 miles filling the tank from the red to the top and had just under a third of a tank left
That was flat out from Bristol to Coventry and return with the air con on all the way.
It feels solid and it is still a good car, however if you are thinking of getting one I'd deffo recomend a test drive first.

It's scary how much roll it has, however it has been a while since I owned a Corsa (let alone one with standard suspension) so my comparison is a little flawed

Theres ups and downs, id rather drive the length of the M4 in a D than my B... but I dont think the D is a brilliant all rounder. I chose a Mk4 Seat Ibiza over the D

No chance, the ones I have driven felt quite tight on the corners. A bit of roll but no where near as much as a standard B.
