The corsa is a good car.and much improved...and very roomy had one as a hire car recently very impressed. Hate fiats and fords are reliable but very boring!! IMO test drive them all..

I would go for the Corsa. ive owned a 05 Corsa and a 05 Punto. The corsa is ALOT more reliable.

the fiesta and corsa are as reliable as each other. check the thinghs that count, like service costs, insurance and mpg. they will make your minds up

Hey guys. Be serious - I suppose most of you are keyboard racers.

The word "reliable" is totally incompatible with Fiat. There are some small exceptions for the newer Panda for example. Still have problems but it's more than a Fiat.

Ford is more trustworthy but still not enough. The best from the three is Opel

Here is my opinion - like it or hate it -> it's your problem. Please note that I tried to make a general categorization so it's possible that some model from one manufacturer to be better that the other already categorized on higher place.

Best class:
Japanese - Acura, Scion, Lexus, Infinity
German - Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche

Middle class:
Japanese - Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Mitsubishi
German - VW, Opel
French - Citroen, Renault
Italian - Alfa Romeo
Korean - Hyundai

Middle-Low class: (this don't mean the cars are bad)
French - Peugeot
Italian - Lancia
Japanese - Suzuki, Daihatsu
German - Ford
Korean - Kia

Lower class:
Italian - Fiat

Lowest class:
All chinese brands
Some russian oldies

Thank you for your attention.

i'd go for the corsa mate, it's an all round better package and residuals are better too

being a mechanic, the zetec fiesta is an excellent choice, with regular servicing and a low milage one will give you many many years of trouble free motoring, the corsa a close second,,,,, dont touch the fiat with a bargepole! lollollol
