Recently we tested the awesome little Opel Corsa-e. This time we have the epic little Corsa SRi running the efficient yet powerful 1.2 litre, 3 cylinder turbo engine. The size of this little Corsa mated with that engine, 8-speed auto gearbox with manual shift option and flappy-paddles makes for a fantastic little package. Responsive, nippy and a hell of a lot of fun.

Opel Corsa SRi is available for $36,990 with the current clean car rebate of $2,438.79 bringing it down to a very affordable $34,551.21. And I say ‘current’ clean car rebate because it is looking like that rebate will be scrapped soon for all vehicles running internal combustion engines, no matter how efficient they are.

2012 Hyundai Veloster 015

 

I was wondering how it would be testing the 2012 Hyundai Veloster with having to squeeze two children and their car seats, one rear facing, into the back seat. Being a coupe I was expecting the usual useless back seat where for any human to be seated they would have to be legless, and by legless I don’t mean out on a bender in town legless. I needn’t have worried, for the Veloster has ample room in the rear and easily accommodated the little rug rats and their seating requirements as easily as most larger family transportation devises, headroom could be an issue though for taller bipeds. Then there is the boot space. Once I had the seats in and saw how well they fitted I assumed all this space would have to be created at a loss to luggage capacity in the hatch area, incorrect. We managed to fit in our largest pushchair for our youngest ankle biter with room still for a couple of shopping bags and other bits and bobs.
