Opel Corsa Engines and Transmissions

Opel Corsa engine choices include the gasoline 1.4 MT and 1.6 MT Coupe versions and the 1.0 MT Sedan, all with manual transmission and front-wheel drive. These are examples from the range: smaller engines suit gentle local driving, while larger engines generally make hills and carrying passengers less demanding.
