Vauxhall Mokka
VS
The Opel Corsa is the cheeky city hatch that zips into parking spaces and pockets with equal ease, while the Opel Mokka trades that nimble charm for SUV attitude, a higher driving position and a few extra inches of boot space. If you want affordable fun and frugal running costs, pick the Corsa; if you crave kerb appeal, a commanding view and weekend practicality, the Mokka is the smarter, slightly posher choice.

The Ford Focus feels like a grown-up hatchback — sharp to drive, spacious enough for weekend gear and loaded with tech for longer trips, while the Opel Corsa is the cheeky city slicker: compact, frugal and easy to park. Pick the Focus if you crave driver engagement and practicality; pick the Corsa if lower running costs, manoeuvrability and urban friendliness top your shopping list.
