Question 1

What should I check on a used manual Opel Corsa?

Accepted Answer

How the clutch bites and whether it slips under load, and that every gear engages cleanly when cold. On the six-speed M32 gearbox fitted to stronger Corsas D and E, listen for a whine from worn bearings, a known weakness.

Question 2

Is a manual Opel Corsa cheaper to tax in Luxembourg than an automatic?

Accepted Answer

Road tax depends only on the CO₂ figure and fuel, not the gearbox, so a manual pays less only where its official CO₂ is lower. A diesel Corsa pays half as much again as a petrol one with the same CO₂.

Question 3

Does the Opel Corsa Electric have a manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

No, the electric Corsa has a single fixed ratio and drives like an automatic, as do the Hybrid versions with their dual-clutch box. A manual Corsa is always petrol or diesel.

Question 4

Is the new Opel Corsa still sold with a manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the 100 PS 1.2 Turbo petrol comes with a manual gearbox in YES, Edition, GS and Ultimate trims. Every other new Corsa, hybrid or electric, is automatic.
