Review of the "NEW OH!" - 2015 Opel Corsa 1.0 T

GO ON AND CHOOSE THE NEW OPEL CORSA

We have all had to make a choice at some point in our lives, it's these choices that ultimately goes on to shape our very existence. Whether it be a choice of clothing to wear, beef or chicken in the clouds, accepting a job offer in the Middle East etc etc the list can go on. Choice in this day and age has become one of the liberties of freedom and the power to choose should not be taken lightly as some choices can either come back to haunt you or you can simply revel in the knowledge that you made a good choice.

Today I'm here to tell you that the good folks at the Thorp Motor Group has spoilt us with the choice of not one but three new models of the new Oh! You might have heard about or seen the new Opel Corsa doing its rounds and I had the privilege "owning" one for 24 hours and this is the review to come out of it.

I was given the new Opel Corsa Cosmo 1.0T, and what a delightful little car it was to drive, this little beaut really packs a punch with its 1.0L Turbo ecoFLEX engine which can generate 85kW / 170Nm of torque and power. In earlier days if you drove a car with such a small engine you could never imagine yourself as being called "the King of the Road", well now with Opel adding a turbo charger to the mix you can. And to test this we thought we'd put the Corsa up against the fastest chicken on a skateboard.


Why we chose to do a street race against a chicken on a skateboard will remain a mystery and it was a choice we stuck by. Why not choose to check out some of the features which come standard in the Cosmo which is retailing for around R 236,000.

Final thoughts:
This car is simply amazing and every chance I got to show off its beauty and power was met with awe and amazement, so if you are in the market for a new car then the new Opel Corsa should be your top choice but don't take my word for it go on and book a test drive today and remember if you don't choose this car it might come back to haunt you... just kidding!


Thanks to Thorp Motor Group for giving me this opportunity, thanks to aFREAKa clothing for the fun onesies and thanks to my team, it was really fun putting all of this together.
