I'm looking to buying my first car soon and feel I am a bit spoilt for choice. I have reduced my options to three; Mazda 2 1.3 Active, Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 Active and the Opel Corsa 1.4 Essentia. Any suggestions? What would your pick be?
Answer
I would go for the Mazda2, but that's just because I love it so much.
On paper, the Corsa is the most powerful of three, although you'd be hard-pressed to physically feel this.
They are all fairly well equipped, however, the Mazda only has front electric windows and you'd have to pay extra for airconditioning in the Fiat.
The Mazda also has the smallest usable luggage area, while the Fiat has the biggest. However, all have seats that fold forward - that's rather useful in a pinch.
But if you're going to be driving the car for a while, you're the one who will need to be completely happy with your decision. Dynamically, I'd rate the Mazda higher, but I'd still suggest that you drive all the cars on your shortlist and narrow it down from there.
Fiat has unfortunately not had the best quality track record, but no importer's products are 100% perfect.
Good luck! Regards
