The Chevrolet Corsa 1.6 MT, from the model's first generation, is a small three-door hatchback. One useful starting point is what the driver's own gear selections do to engine speed.

Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
79 × 81.5 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1598 cm³

Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
5
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
101 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
74 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
With a manual gearbox, each ratio fixes a relationship between road speed and crankshaft speed. Selecting a higher gear drops engine revolutions for the same pace; shifting down raises them, which is how a driver keeps the petrol engine in a useful working range.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Front-wheel drive always sends effort to the same pair of wheels, but grip is supplied by the surface, not the layout. Wet paint, gravel or a patch of ice under one front tyre reduces what that side can transmit, so available traction falls while the drivetrain is unchanged.
Body and Practicality
A three-door mini body puts one long door on each side, so front occupants get a wide opening while anyone using the rear passes the same aperture. That single door needs more clearance beside the car than a narrower one when swung fully open.
