The fifth, launched in January 2015 and built until 2019 Corsa-Generation had to apply the basis of the previous generation presented in 2006 for cost reasons. However, a more youthful front and rear view as well as new engines and a heavily revised chassis brought the hoped-for freshness.

Prepared for an extra charge Opel the Corsa E with a number of (expensive) assistance systems (traffic sign recognition, lane assistant, distance warning, front collision warning, high beam and blind spot assistant), donated bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights.

Opel Corsa used: 9480 euros after five years and 69,000 km

However, the price has traditionally played a major role in new cars, too, so that the Corsa mostly appears on the used market with rather economical equipment.

Our copy from Autohus in Bockel near Bremen is a five-door model with “Edition” equipment and an unspectacular, but perfectly adequate 1.4-liter intake manifold petrol engine. According to the Schwacke database, the Danish reimport cost 17,330 euros in August 2017. Now he would be available as a well-groomed five-year-old with 69,409 kilometers but without serious injuries for 9480 euros.

Cockpit with a lot of honest plastic, but chic (heatable!) leather steering wheel and manual climate control. Easy to read instruments, classic CD radio.


Even if the buyer of a new car did not invest too much in extras, everything that is important is on board. There is manual air conditioning and a CD radio system with Bluetooth connection, as well as heated seats and steering wheel.

The navigation system is missing? Half as wild! Fortunately, today there are smartphones with free, up-to-date maps and well-functioning voice assistants.

And how is it to travel? Still quite comfortable. The chassis is rumble-free, the space at the front is generous, and the plastic interior is hard but durable. And the job wasn’t too strenuous for the seat covers either.

A few thousand cheaper than a VW Polo of the same age

The rear seat is noticeably more cramped, but two Isofix child seat holders with top tether and head airbags are installed. A real selling point if the Corsa to be used as a family (second) car.

In the Euro NCAP crash test in 2014 it was enough for a decent four stars. He experienced his moment of glory Corsa E but with the maintenance costs.

It’s used Opel Corsa a few thousand cheaper than a VW Polo of the same age, spare parts are not expensive either. And there are no nasty surprises when it comes to taxes and insurance either. The expensive toothed belt change is not necessary with the well-behaved timing chain engine, the maintenance can be done without special knowledge.

Used car test Opel Corsa


In terms of drive technology, there was a large selection even without an electric or hybrid variant: from April 2018 Opel switched to cleaner Euro 6d Temp versions. The 90 hp one-liter turbo sounds rough, but looks very lively. The Euro 6 diesel variants with 75 to 95 hp are rare and now rather unpopular.

For particularly dynamic Corsa-Younger bot Opel real crackers. It drives as a GSI with 150 hp Corsa amazingly dynamic. A real high-flyer is the 207 hp OPC. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.8 seconds and has a top speed of 230 km/h. Used, it starts at 12,900 euros.
