"The 2017 Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback Special E 1.4 [75] ecoFLEX Energy 3dr is a practical and budget-friendly supermini with a focus on efficiency and comfort. Powered by a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 74 bhp (75 PS) and 130 Nm of torque, it offers steady, reliable performance for city and suburban driving. Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, it achieves a fuel economy of approximately 55-60 mpg (combined, WLTP), thanks to its ecoFLEX technology, which reduces emissions and enhances efficiency. The Energy trim is aimed at combining value with a good level of standard equipment. Exterior highlights include 16-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, and heated side mirrors. Inside, it boasts heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, air conditioning, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with IntelliLink, supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Though a three-door hatchback, it provides a decent level of practicality, with a 285-liter boot and enough rear-seat space for occasional passengers. The compact size and light steering make it particularly suited for urban environments, while the ride quality is smooth for its class. Safety features include six airbags, ABS, stability control, and hill-start assist. However, its performance might feel modest for more spirited drivers, and the three-door design can limit rear access. Overall, the 2017 Corsa 1.4 ecoFLEX Energy is a well-rounded and affordable choice for young drivers or those seeking an efficient, well-equipped small car for daily use."
