The Vauxhall Corsa, marketed as the Opel Corsa in continental Europe, is a supermini car produced by the German automaker Opel, a subsidiary of Stellantis, since 1982. The 1997-2000 model year, known as the "Corsa B," marked the second generation of the Corsa, a significant departure from its predecessor in terms of design, size, and engine options. This generation saw the Corsa adopt a more rounded, contemporary look, shedding the angular lines of the previous model. It was a huge commercial success for Opel, becoming the best-selling car in Europe for a brief period. The Corsa B offered a diverse range of engine options catering to varying performance needs and fuel efficiency preferences. The lineup included 1.0-liter, 1.2-liter, and 1.4-liter petrol engines, as well as a 1.7-liter diesel engine. These were paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission, allowing buyers to choose the drivetrain that best suited their driving style. The Corsa B also boasted a spacious interior, comfortably accommodating four passengers, and a practical boot space perfect for everyday errands and weekend getaways. The introduction of safety features like ABS and front airbags further enhanced the Corsa's appeal, making it a reliable and safe choice for families and individuals alike.
