Vauxhall Corsa. Pretty good little car; very reliable and comfortable to drive on both local and international journeys.
The Vauxhall Corsa is good to drive and has strong yet efficient engines on offer. It can get a little bumpy on lumpy roads around town, though.
Vauxhall make pretty reliable cars, yes. They came fourth in the Telegraph's top 20 brands for reliability, with 90 problems per 100 vehicles. They came ninth last year with 98 problems per 100 vehicles, so not only have they done extremely well, they are also improving.
On the move. Once you're moving you should feel comfortable in the Corsa. It's easy to drive and visibility out of the front, back and over the shoulder is pretty good. It's easy to over steer and over correct when the wheel is too light, but that's no problem with the Corsa.
