Ahead of the car's debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, Opel has put the new Corsa on sale in Germany. The official website already lists configurators for both the 3- and 5-door models with all the trim levels and the engines listed.
The 3-door Corsa is of course the cheapest to buy, starting at only €11,980, which is just €230 more than the ADAM. Unfortunately, we'd stop short of calling it cheap, since the standard engine is a 1.2-liter with 70 PS and a 5-speed manual that does 0 to 100 km/h in 16 seconds. It falls in emissions class D, while the "Selection" trim level (picture above) doesn't come with LED accents or alloy wheels and has a dark, bland interior. Prices are, however, on par with the 2014 VW Polo, starting at €12,600 in Germany.

The new Corsa is also offered with a 90 PS 1-liter turbo engine, which when paired to a 6-speed will set you back €14,480 in Germany. Only the more expensive 5-door model receives a 115 PS version of the same 1-liter turbo.

Diesel models start at €14,930, in which case you get a 1.3 CDTI ecoFLEX with 75 PS. The 95 PS version of the same engine is the most expensive all-new Corsa you can buy at €15,730 in standard trim (it can reach about €19,000 though).

If you want an Opel Corsa with only two pedals, there are two options: an automated manual and a six-speed auto, both mated to a 1.4-liter engine.

On the technology side, the new Corsa introduces a host of new features. The IntelliLink infotainment system uses a 7-inch screen and can be ordered for as little as €300 (£250). High-spec cars will also get bi-xenon headlamps with LED daytime runners and even Park Assist or Blind Sport Alert are offered as part of a €580 package. If you're not confident in your parking skills, the reversing camera is another cheap option at €295 on the Opel model.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
