Which car is better for longer journeys, a Vauxhal corsa or a Volkswagon Golf?

Answer 1

The Vauxhall Corsa is one of the worst modern cars ever made especially as Vauxhall should know better. The first one is very pretty but that is about it. The second one is not hideous but what other redeeming features are there? There are many better small cars available than a Corsa. Apparently the NEW Corsa about to be launched is much better. Golfs on the other hand are fine cars. Every incarnation has been good. The Mk3 and Mk4 are a bit tubby compared to the first two, to be fair. The current Mk5 is a fine car indeed. Quite frankly any Golf including a Mk1, I would rather have compared to any Corsa!

Answer 2

im a little surprised someone has had to ask this question.
Traditionally if you can afford a golf then you wouldnt even consider a corsa for a split second, until very recently you wouldnt even compare a Astra to a Golf.

Clearly a golf is far better even the bottom of the range 1.6 golf will still be a lot more comfortable on a long journey than the corsa. A poor little corsa with a small engine may do good miles to gallon but will be noisey and underpowered, perhaps the exception being a CDI corsa.
The golf is a much better built car and of course far more reliable. depends what you really fancy but a golf GTI or a TDI are the only cars you could ever need in my view.

Answer 3

Golf without a doubt. Even a top of the range Corsa will be more tiring to drive on longer journeys. Being lighter it bounces round more and Golfs have much more mid-range power than Higher spec Corsa's due to the design of their engine. That will mean less gear changing. A Corsa is fine to get to the shops but they were never designed for long journeys and although they are capable of doing it, you'll really know you've had a journey.

One capital thought, if you see someone that is comfortable driving they rarely drive dangerously, or suffer from road rage. I have A Ford Escort that clearly isn't a comfortable car to drive, and I get easily frustrated in that car (and normally I'm very mild-mannered). I also have a 2001 Jaguar XJr, and in that car I'm always completly relaxed, nothing ever bothers me. So on that basis alone the heavier more relaxing car is the one to go for.

Answer 4

There is no comparison between a Corsa and a Golf..The Golf is a far superior car, it's larger, more comfortable and better built. I have a car rental business and have not driven a well built Vauxhall for many years.

Answer 5

Never driven a Golf, but I did 400 miles in my Corsa (on A roads to scotland) and found that the ride was OK. The only problem was the noise of the wind over the roof - very loud! I also found it got blown about a bit by cross winds.
Apart from that, I didn't get back ache and there was very little noise from the tyres on the road (something a lot of people complain about in the Corsa). Overall, a good drive (I wouldn't have been able to do it in my old Peugeot)

Answer 6

Vauxhal corsa is better because it saves you petrol and a good car. Although Corsa is a bit down for a start and then it beats Golf by 100%. Corsa is cheaper and better lasting. I suggest you shoul get Corsa. Corsa is great for begginners and a reasonable car.

Yeah

Answer 7

The golf, great all round car. The corsa is fine for town driving you feel cramped up in a corsa after a while, even if you are on your own.

Answer 8

Volkswagen golf Corsa is very uncomfortable after only a short journey.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Volkswagon
