The city car Opel Corsa ecoFLEX and VW technology want Polo blue motion despite their lightweight diesel engines and no rolling disclaimers be start stop systems. Which saves best?
If - there was also an eco rating for the car Quartet the two would be desirable as many a Supersport: with 94 and 96 G CO2 / km include Opel Corsa 1.3 CDTi Ecoflex and VW Polo 1.6 TDI blue motion technology, finally to the genugsamsten compact car at all. Can be but no talk of asceticism.
In contrast to the upper saver VW Polo blue motion, whose rough running and tough 1 that 2-litre cylinder diesel required waiver as well as the small selection of comfort options, offer the two opponents of Opel Corsa 1.3 CDTi Ecoflex and VW Polo 1.6 TDI blue motion technology cultivated four-cylinder engines with lively 95 or 90 HP. They can also with plenty of upgraded into tools.
Since the revision of early 2011, the Opel Corsa looks a bit similar to its larger brothers Meriva and Astra from the front. The impressive fuel economy is due but other measures: Sun provides a start stop system for the engine only runs when it is used, what you want to save a pint in the city.
In addition to a reinforced starters, a longer translated transmission, a streamlined spoiler lip and a lowering of 20 mm is included in the start-stop package of Opel Corsa for 300 euro. But one detail reveals the struggle of the engineers on the consumption front most clearest: so the Ecoflex tank contain five litres less than the fuel tank of the conventional varieties.
Despite long translation of the well-known 1, 3-liter in the Opel Corsa ecoFLEX nagelnd robust, through but wacker and homogeneous. Even beyond the highway recommended speed, the Corsa can put in as yet, significantly. Because the switch-off attendant also quickly anknipst the common-rail diesel engine, the start of the traffic light without additional Memorial second succeeds. For this you may miss already no longer the pleasant silence in the State after a short time.
Solely for reasons of comfort, the Opel Corsa ecoFLEX is worth his money. Consumption reasons anyway: even the 5.3 litre / 100 km in the predominantly quickly completed trial can be seen.
To fourth from Berlin to Munich? Makes no 11 euros in fuel costs per nose in the Opel Corsa ecoFLEX. With particularly light Gasfuss the injectors zerstaubten even only 3.9 litres of diesel per 100 km. Since even the cropped tank for over 1,000 km range.
That the combination of small cars and diesel must not fear the competition of alternative drives, also the VW Polo proves with his 400 euro expensive blue motion technology package. Although approved it 10% more that in the test section, move with discipline and foresight driving but with 3.7 litres / 100 km.
Thanks to torque-plus, 1, 6-litre in through, wuchtiger and switching fauler ride. Even bigger fall out the differences in the refinement: in comparison to the sonorous droning and soft current TDI of the VW Polo radiates the rustic CDTi Opel Corsa commercial vehicle charm.
At all the VW goes Polo comfort in a different League. While the Corsa chassis with its reduced spring trails stiff passes short shocks to inmates, and whip-like bear in long shifts, the smooth scrolling VW will Polo its passengers quickly forget that they sit in a small car.
The effectively insulated chassis and wind noise, as well as the meticulous processing are anything but kleinwagenhaft: from the soft foam dashboard with solid clicking switches of comfortable, adjustable over a wide range of seats in the last corner of the fluffy ausgeschlagenen boot a disk from the 3, 97-M dwarf can cut to some compact.
Also driving dynamic shows superior Polo is the VW, smart follows the commands of his emotional control and remains neutral and easily manageable and in the border region. With its decoupled acting steering and the Opel Corsa is the hakeligen fast switching gears are less fun. Also, he used slides over the front wheels and loses the traction on wavy track more. In terms of space but he has his geliftete nose front. Rear passengers sitting in the Opel Corsa something airier and enjoy more headroom. The maximum volume of the trunk also generously precipitates as in the VW Polo. In addition, its back seat in favour of some extra-liter loading capacity can be steeper make.
Although its quality appears visible and significantly cheaper, the Opel Corsa comes to purchase little cheaper. In the variant satellite (among other things with leather steering wheel, air conditioning and CD-radio), the price on the VW Polo is just over 400 euros. Which is in turn better equipped as a Highline with heated seats, Park piepsern, and other amenities.
In the cost section, the Opel with the generous guarantee scheme has advantages, even if it not as full-bodied promised lifetime applies. Material costs have to be paid rather from 50,000 kilometres to a certain amount itself. Despite impressive fuel economy, the hard suspension Opel Corsa appears with his rough diesel total not more on the amount of time. The VW Polo engineers as significantly better, managed include the sprite file, without equal with polishthe comfort or quality. In any case only the dimensions are kleinwagenhaft in the class-leading.
