Drove one of UK's best-selling cars that costs £24k - but wouldn't buy it' - AOL

AOL’s review of the newest Vauxhall Corsa focuses on a tension between mass appeal and standout quality. The article notes the Corsa has been a UK staple since 1993 and remains among the top sellers: SMMT figures for 2026 so far show 18,470 registrations, placing it in the top five behind the Nissan Qashqai, Jaecoo 7, Kia Sportage and Ford Puma. Priced at £23,910 OTR, the tested car is described as a hybrid supermini using a small turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine and a hybrid system delivering about 145 BHP to the front wheels via an automatic dual-clutch gearbox. The writer praised punchy acceleration, strong regenerative braking and communicative steering, while questioning overall appeal.
