Peugeot 207 vs. Opel Corsa

[Cosmin]

I want a new car for my mother .. just take a sit and please give me your sincerely opinion .

Thanks .

[SittingBull]

I'd go for the Opel from an asthetic and reliability stand point.

[External HDD Veteran]

I'd choose Peugeot..

[Cosmin]

At the same price Opel comes with more optional components as standard .

same engine ( 90 HP )

[Sethos]

My car knowledge is pretty limited, everything comes from Top Gear mostly :laugh:

But based on their "Surveys" it really does sound like Peugeot makes some very unrealiable cars.

[FreqFace]

Ugh... I hate Vauxhalls... I'd go for the Peugeot depending on the price, even if they are less reliable (I don't think Vauxhalls are that much better for reliability anyway).

[TheElite]

I think the 207 is a bit bigger than the Corsa.

[PT 13]

Peugeot for Quality ? they are more reliable (from personal experience)

Corsa for looks

[Yogurth]

If You do not need to go for either of these, check Toyota Yaris. Toyota makes the most reliable cars today.

[Kerm]

Can't you get the Corsa with that windscreen that comes all the way up above your head?

That would be amazing!

[Beastage]

I'm adding FIAT Grande Punto to the mix, nice looks, similar engines , about the same equipment

[Sensayshun]

I don't know anything about the corsa, but I've been in a 206 before and that was great fun. Technically it was slow, but it FELT fast and you can really chuck them about. The stereo was pretty damn good and yeah, was just a fun car.

TOYOTA FTW, they are good strong built cars

[Axel]

Neither. But if I had to choose one, make it the Corsa - I had one for a hire car before and it was an adequate drive. Not that I can comment on what the new model is like. You couldn't even pay me to take a french car... unless I was about to crush it. Yick.

I like Seat, great build - all VW parts and engines. Won't let you down. I've got the 2003 Sport model with the 1.9TDi Engine (PD130)... same 130 horsepower equivelant to today's FR version. Very nice car to drive as well as pretty decent fuel economy. That also goes for the VW Polo, inmy opinion it looks a little bland, but you're still getting a quality car.

My friend had a Yaris also and I've heard they are fantastic little cars.

Well .. Toyota is more expensive and it's interior looks strange .. As for Seat .. hmm , that Ibiza looks a bit old , even the new Polo that is in fact a facelift only ..

I wish I could edit my first post and add Poll option , please teach me how ) .

Neither.

Mitsubishi Colt CZ range. 3 door or 5 door, depending on requirements.

[Cosmin]

well .. yeah but cannot pass 13.500Euro :|

[snyper]

corsa, corsa, corsa, corsa, crosa - dont buy the 207.

I repeat do not buy the 207.

[Cosmin]

I'd like a reason +snyper .. thanks .. ;)

[snyper]

Try selling the 207 in 5 years.

Try getting a spurious part for a 207, 307 or 407.

Its a rattley car after a few years too.

The opel will hold its value better and wear better than the 207.

I would go for the corsa, i have a corsa at the moment, and it has been in the family car for the last 5-6 years and i recebtly got it as my sister has got a new car and my mother also got a new mini.

And in that time it has not broken down once, and is still really nice and good to drive. And this one was second hand too! So from my perspective go for the corsa, there nicer cars all round! :D

Edit: Sorry didnt mean to quote pics! :D

[Cosmin]

Interesting .. so german cars in TOP on neowin ;)

[snyper]

well, i know some of the opels are made in Portugal..

... wondering why i find underwear in the new car i bought...

[Cosmin]

Yeah .. I mean german technology / style and .. fidelity ..

[Shibby]

I'd go for the Opel Corsa. They would be easier to sell later on, as the younger ones would prefer them.

We've had three opel/vauxhall and we've never had any problems with them what so ever. But our other cars have been german and also a Land Rover (with a BMW engine)
