I've been driving the Symbioz Full Hybrid with the iconic trim for 3,500 km. I test-drove both cars. I think the win goes to the Symbioz. Good quality at a family-friendly price. Unfortunately the Opel is simply too expensive. Strangely, what never really gets mentioned is that the Symbioz's suspension is absolutely superb.

Vauxhall Corsa

The Opel Corsa is a tidy little package that blends cheeky styling with sensible practicality, perfect for city streets and weekend escapes alike. It’s easy to live with, economical to run and just lively enough to make daily driving a bit more fun.
