Do not buy solely because there are lots of them
A common car is convenient for shopping around, but each used example has lived a different life. Check service evidence, MOT history, tyre condition, warning lights, accident repairs and whether all supplied keys and equipment are present.
Small differences can alter the cost of owning the car
Engine, trim, wheel size and gearbox can change fuel use, tyre prices and insurance quotations. The cheapest-looking advert is therefore only the starting point.
Use the size to your advantage
For many drivers a Corsa is easy to park and practical enough for everyday use. If you do long motorway journeys, make sure the exact version is comfortable and refined enough for your routine rather than assuming every small hatchback feels the same.
