IN improved third genera­ tion guise, Vauxhall’s Corsa supermini finally justifies its strong sales figures on gen­ uine merit, good looks and

SUMMER SERVICE ^


RECESSION BUSTING TIPS ______AND


With the economic turndown and money being tight, many motorists are looking to keep their cars for longer rather than replacing them. As a consequence, it is vitally important that, to maintain a car’s reliability, it is serviced regularly. Regular servicing' will not only ensure better perform­ ance, but an efficient engine should also mean lower fuel consumption, not to mention a cleaner exhaust and of course, greater reliability. A good place to start is with a free health check that many garages and service centres offer all year round these days. Just a few simple checks go a long way to preventing many breakdowns. In addition, a specific

service check should 'ensure that ve­ hicles are-. in good mechanical and electrical condition to provide reliable and problem-free motoring. Basic checks ideally should include every­ thing from lights and tyres to battery . and the starter motor.


Tyres are also an important compo­ nent of a car that are often neglect­ ed and taken for granted. Checking


■the tread depths and tyre pressures should be a regular activity to ensure that they are' in good condition and at the correct pressure. Get into the habit of having your ve­ hicle regularly serviced by a compe­


tent garage or service centre. They can often help you in this regard as


many will now send out reminders for


customers when their annual service is due.


Those motorists that can afford to change their cars are opting more and more for fuel efficient and low C 0 2 emission vehicles. With the gov­ ernment’s Scrappage scheme also encouraging this move with its finan­ cial iricentives and low vehicle excise duty rates on the cleanest of cars, it is a trend that is certain to continue and grow.


“ : h ^


The Credit Crunch may be unpleas­ ant for all of us but it has at least fo­ cussed the minds of the government, motorists and manufacturers on the real benefits of more efficient cars.


Corsa responds: it just was not anything out of the ordinary. And with ordinary being


something th a t Vauxhall is not too comfortable with these days, things had to change. With this improved third


generation model, that seems to be happening. Tlie enhaice- ments themselves don’t sound too huge - tweaked power steering fo r more driving- feel, plus revisions to springs, dampers and anti-roll bars but together, they add up to quite a lot. Not quite enough to make this as sharp as a Fiesta, but very close while, at the same time, providing a more relaxed, family-friendly drive. The improvements to the


driving experience’are signifi­ cant. The previously over-light electric power steering now de­ cently communicates what the front wheels are doing. As for the spring and damper tweaks, the chassis feels slightly more supple than before, but the ride remains on the firm side. Vauxhall has re-fettled vir­


tually all the engines on offer. Which is perhaps just as well in the case of the 1.2-litre petrol unit under the bonnet of the model driven here, which pre­ viously would have sometimes struggled a little faced with the task of hauling up to 1244kgs of fully-laden Corsa. A small but useful 5PS im­


provement now gives an output of 85PS, which makes progress a little more relaxed. The third generation Corsa


has real visual impact. Though it shares its platform, suspen­ sion and steering with Fiat’s Grande Punto, there is a very

different look and feel, the fro n t end featurin g a deep


Vauxhall V-grille with ag­ gressive air intakes under the bumper and a pair of head­ lamps That smear back along the wiiigs. Although both three and five-door bodystyles occu­ py pretty much the same foot­ print on the road, Vauxhall has tried.to give them each their own separate appeal, though the th re e -d oor tes ted here does look a little sleeker with


' its rear wheelarch bulges and raked rear window. - I t is clear that this Corsa is


crucial for .Vauxhall. Hence its decision to move it forward from middle-of-the-road me­ diocrity with this well-judged package of improvements. Cleaner, greener and better to drive, it now either matches or beats most more recently launched rivals. And the things we liked


about this car at its original launch are still in place: the sharp looks, the classy cabin, the big-car feel. Add to that the wide range


available and the likely deals on offer and you have a su­ permini that more than ever, needs to remain high on any family’s shopping list.
