I don´t think this article should be merged with Celta, because Celta and Corsa are different cars. As a matter of fact, they are sold side by side in the Brazilian car sellers. Celta is the mini, and COrsa is the supermini. Carloseduardo 13:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
OPEL CORSA MK1 (1983-1993)
In early 1983, Opel launched an all-new front-wheel drive supermini - the Corsa. It was built at Zaragoza in Spain and sold in Britain as the Vauxhall Nova. Power came from 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engines, which were mostly noisy and unrefined. Reliability too was far from perfect. But the Corsa's key selling points were its competitive starting price and low running costs. It was aimed squarely at the Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo and Austin Metro. The launch of the Nova saw the Chevette disappear from the Vauxhall range.
Bodystyles were hatchback (three and five doors) and saloon (two and four doors). The most popular bodystyle was three-door hatchback.
In the autumn of 1990, the Corsa was facelifted with a new front end and improved interior, but the age of the design was starting to show in the face of more modern rivals like the Peugeot 106 and Renault Clio.
The last of the first generation Corsas rolled off the production line early in 1993, and the Nova name was shelved on British Vauxhalls. Even now, more than a decade after the end of production, the Vauxhall Nova is proving popular with 'boy racers' because of its low insurance premiums and paltry value.
OPEL CORSA MK2 (1993-2000)
The second generation Opel Corsa was launched in early 1993, a completely new car - this time using the Corsa badge on Vauxhalls as well. The front-wheel drive chassis was designed to make driving as easy as possible, which made the Corsa an ideal choice for driving schools. The 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engines and 1.5 diesel were all-new injection units. More expensive versions of the Corsa could be had with power steering, electric windows, central locking, antilock brakes and airbags. Like almost all of the competition, the Corsa was available only as a hatchback with three or five doors. Running costs and asking prices were both low. The Corsa proved to be an instant sales success in Europe.
A facelift in the autumn of 1996 saw the Corsa receive a new grille and the chassis retuned by Lotus to give better handling. Economical 1.0 three-cylinder petrol and 1.7 turbo-diesel engines were added to the range. But there were few real changes.
OPEL CORSA MK3 (2000-present)
The third generation Opel Corsa was launched in the autumn of 2000, a welcome launch because the old Corsa was falling behind the likes of the Fiat Punto and Peugeot 206 in the supermini sector.
At the front, the new Corsa preserved traditional Vauxhall/Opel styling characteristics, but at the back it resembled a Fiat Punto. Beneath the exterior lay a spacious and comfortable interior, which came with impressive equipment levels. Almost all of the range could be had with air-conditioning, electric windows, CD player and central locking as either optional or standard equipment. The 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 petrol engines were carried over from the previous Corsa but the 1.7 turbo-diesel and 1.8 petrol were both all-new.
Lotus was responsible for tuning the new Corsa chassis, which was interlinked with 'speed sensitive power steering'. This combination gave excellent ride and handling. In many ways, the new Corsa felt like a large car trapped in a small body. Its classy dashboard would not feel out of place in the Vectra two sizes up.
After four years in production, the third generation Vauxhall/Opel Corsa is still one of the best superminis on sale in Europe. In 2002 it overtook the Ford Fiesta in the British sales charts but was beaten to the top of the supermini sector by the Peugeot 206.
Who or what causes these entries to appear? They have been appearing across many car articles over the last few weeks, sometimes on the talk pages.

There are a dozen more if you go back through my contrib list, including several Renault, Peugot, and VW cars. akaDruid 09:15, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I keep seeing references on GM DAT developing next GM Gamma platform in various GM-related articles, but Fiat Punto article says it's joint responsibility of Opel AG and Fiat.

Souped up has just been changed to suped up presumably because the writer thinks (wrongly) that suped is a contraction of supercharged. In fact souped up is correct, here's an extract from the Cambridge Dictionary:
SOUPED UP
to make mechanical changes to (something, esp. a car) to make it unusually powerful
Example: He souped it up so that it could go at speeds of over 100 mph.

Hi. The Chevrolet Corvair had a model called the Corsa as well. I don't know if that's important enough to mention or not. They did make thousands of them...
There is an image of the Opel Corsa B on the German Wikipedia [1] and I was wondering if there is a possibility of using this image on this article. If so, how do you transfer the image here? - Daniel Blanchette 17:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Any mention of the 1.5 Izuzu diesel engine in the Nova? These little engines have gained quite a reputation, and can be argued to match the GSi at top speeds!
I question the point of calling this article "General Motors Corsa".
Despite the fact that Opel's cars are badged as Opel, Vauxhall, Holden and Chevrolet, they are designed and engineered by the Opel subsidiary of General Motors.
I don't see this approch being used for all the other General Motors models.
You don't write the "Ford Motor Company" DB9 for Aston Martin or the "Ford Motor Company" XJ? Or maybe the Volkswagen AG Flying Spur for the Bentley?
It serves no useful purpose as far as I can see. Can somebody please change it?
Neither do Ford or Jaguar or Lincoln or Mercury or Volvo sell versions of the DB9, that is a faulty argument, and while they are certainly engineered and built by Opel I would question the claim that they are entirely Opel designs, and the significance of the use of the model by several members of the GM family should not be overlooked, neither should the significance of the Vauxhall badged version being the first of the new model to be officially unveiled. Because of all of these issues I see nothing wrong with referring to it as the GM Corsa with redirects from the other pages.
I don't have time to try to incorporate this information into the article, or validate the information. A friend of mine emailed me regarding this info. It's a topic that he keeps up with. I'm trying to get him to become a contributor to Wikipedia. But until then, someone 'as' or almost as knowlegeable as he is should incorporate the following:
Brazil has 180 proof ethanol, (90% ethanol, 10% water), at every "gas" station for roughly half the cost of petroleum gasoline. 40% of the autos in Brazil do not burn gasoline. The Chevrolet Corsa comes off the lines to burn this fuel with NO petroleum in sight, and these cars adjust themselves for petroleum fuels also. The fuel is domestically produced within the country of Brazil from agricultural products, mainly cane sugar, not corn and grains.
And this article had some good info to incorporate regarding that also; [2]
And this following information starts to break into another area which I don't think belongs on this page, but should be on another wikipedia page and internally 'linked' to something from the Corsa page. I know I and many others would love to follow the hot topics that help ease environmental impact.
Two huge ethanol plants were planned, funded, and ready to be built in Indiana last year. They never broke ground. The petroleum industry simply told them that present distribution and consumer delivery systems would intentionally be made unavailable to them. An additional complete motor fuel delivery system will be need to built to get this fuel to the consumer markets.
Most of people of the world are being scammed by the powerful petroleum industry, yes.
Recent claims by the USA fed to fund hydrogen technology development were undertaken because of the low threat to the petroleum industry. The real and viable alternatives will not be implimented.
Hydrogen IS a viable alternative. It is the methods of unlocking it that are the problem as stated below. The Ballard Fuel Cell is very cool. This thing is real. ( http://www.ballard.com/) It utilizes H to produce electricity with no combustion taking place and does not produce CO2. Electrolysis is the current option to split water, and cheap abundant electricity will be needed.
Most of the electricity produced is by methods that damage the environment. All electrysis will do at this time is shift the damages from the vehicle itself to the source of the electricity, and this electricity is not cheap enough to warrant producing the hydrogen.
There's lots of other fun stuff to do as an individual though, but those do not address the demands of our consumer market environment, and the conventions within it, at this time. Or, Stanley Meyer had made a sensational breakthrough, dunno. I never see the detailed plans and the technology explained, only the claims.
I've just seen the new Corsa D "in the flesh" at its UK launch. I can confirm that it is available in 3 and 5 door models. Anyone mind if I update the section on the Corsa D to include (very briefly) what is on offer? Thanks. 86.136.226.153 15:25, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Why is everything in the article referring to Vauxhall Corsa? Isn't it only called that in one Market when it is designed by Opel and also marketed as Opel in the vast majority of places?
I bring in question this statement:
"The Nova name was not used in Spain, because in Spanish, 'Nova' means "doesn't go"." This is untrue for 2 reasons. One being that the car is called Corsa from the start, but the name was changed for the UK to the Nova. It wasn't called "Corsa" specially for the Spanish market, but rather, it was called "Nova" for the UK market.
Secondly, "Nova" do not mean "No Go" in Spanish - http://www.snopes.com/business/misxlate/nova.asp
So this statement should be removed, no? EnglishDude 13:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I have added a fine picture of a Vauxhall Nova. I recently returned to this site to find someone had tried to replace it with a worse picture that wasnt even their own original work - and subsequently there was then no picture. Nobody even reverted it to the good picture I added. My picture has been there for months now, and I hope that in future people will think to revert vandalism rather than just removing it. -- TheEditor20 12:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I recently rented a Corsa C and, during a 400 mile trip on paved road had problems w/a failed rear wheel bearing. Any history or recall related to this issue w/this car? The vehicle had less than 2000 km on it. 75.22.148.192 11:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I bought a corsa 130i 1998 model n few months ago and noticed that the dipstick was the wrong length. Luckely my sister in law had the exact same corsa and same model but when used her dipstick i found that even her dipstick was the wrong length for my car. The manufacturer says that the amount of oil needed after a service is 3.5 litres but none of the dipsticks reaches the the oil in the sump. Now my question is, how many changes did general motors make on the corsa engine in 1998 if so many different dipsticks are available for the corsa 130i? And how would i know which one is the right one for my car? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.247.170.7 ( talk) 17:05, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
I think more needs to be said about the Corsa pickup and some pictures included. In South Africa its probably the most popular small pickup around, there are so many on the roads. Also of more interest is the fact that the old shape and the new shape are currently available as new in South Africa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmark164 ( talk • contribs) 08:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Same guy again here, many thanks to whoever has incorporated this into the article with a proper book reference and everything! Even mentioning that it was only available with the 1.2 engine. It's not far gone either as I know someone who used to have a blue K-reg 4-gear B in 2010, and I saw a red M-reg one for sale in 2011 or 12. -- 81.129.18.164 ( talk) 22:15, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

There should be a seperate article for the Chevrolet Sail, because the second generation is not identical with the Corsa anymore and is now different in design and technology. talk —Preceding undated comment added 15:12, 22 February 2012 (UTC).
Who has seen fit to remove the whole of the Corsa van section? Surely that's all relevant information? Yesilikecars ( talk) 18:21, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
There are no mentions of the various gearbox options available for the Corsa A, and yet there are for all the sucessive models. Someone should try and find out which models had which transmissions and also put them in the descriptor box to the right just below the engine choices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.106.4.222 ( talk) 17:22, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
The engine table states that the 1.2-litre petrol engine was only available for short time after release and then was dropped. To which countries does this apply? In Germany this engine is the basic engine up to now. -- 92.226.137.15 ( talk) 14:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Nearly 2 years later I have just done it now (same guy as above). It's the "F13" 4-speed manual and was on K to M reg Corsa Bs - http://vehicles.vivastreet.co.uk/car-parts+greasbrough-s61/vauxhall-corsa--1993-1995--gearbox---manual/61908327 -- 86.157.125.183 ( talk) 11:02, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
Same guy again here, many thanks to whoever has incorporated this into the article with a proper book reference and everything! Even mentioning that it was only available with the 1.2 engine. It's not far gone either as I know someone who used to have a blue K-reg 4-gear B in 2010, and I saw a red M-reg one for sale in 2011 or 12. -- 81.129.18.164 ( talk) 22:15, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
There is no picture of original (before face lifting) Corsa C. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.191.165.239 ( talk) 06:48, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
There should be a seperate article for the Chevrolet Sail, because the second generation is not identical with the Corsa anymore and is now different in design and technology. talk —Preceding undated comment added 15:12, 22 February 2012 (UTC).
Who has seen fit to remove the whole of the Corsa van section? Surely that's all relevant information? Yesilikecars ( talk) 18:21, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
There are no mentions of the various gearbox options available for the Corsa A, and yet there are for all the sucessive models. Someone should try and find out which models had which transmissions and also put them in the descriptor box to the right just below the engine choices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.106.4.222 ( talk) 17:22, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
The engine table states that the 1.2-litre petrol engine was only available for short time after release and then was dropped. To which countries does this apply? In Germany this engine is the basic engine up to now. -- 92.226.137.15 ( talk) 14:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
