The stodgy ride and bland handling have been banished, weak­ nesses which had been thrown into sharp focus by the excellence of newer rivals from Ford, Rover and Peugeot. Instead, the engineers at Lotus have given the Corsa’s chassis a thorough workout; and you do not have to be Nigel Mansell to notice it. So Lotus has earned its money. But

this has created a unique car - the first European mass-produced model to fea­ ture three-cylinder technology. Yes, of course, the Japanese have been building them for years, but not like this. Ecotec- Compact, as it’s called, is a jewel - tiny, neat and light, almost like a motorcycle engine.

long since the range received extensive revi­ sions inside and out. These included a revised corporate grille, modified headlamps and foglamps and body-coloured side mouldings. Inside, twin front airbags are standard across the range, while in plusher models, rear seat passengers get aircraft- style trays on their seats and a map pocket has been added at the foot of the central console.


these improvements rep­ resent the finishing touch to a carefully chosen array of attributes which allow its entrant to appeal particularly to those in search of automotive all- rounders.
