I'm more than my happy with the driving experience of my 1.4petrol,nippy,good economy pulls well even at motorway speeds.
Have not driven the diesel version but do drive a Corsa Diesel CDTI(56plate) for work so I'm aware of what modern small diesels drive like and to be honest I don't think I'm missing out.
I'm aware the diesels can be chipped up to considerable more BHP but either ones a good choice.
ps.Selling mine due to emigration.

Hi Andy,
This is a long standing topic and at the risk of repeating things, I have provided you with a link to one of the many threads:-

Car ownership is a personal experience and to that end only you can make up your own mind at the end of the day. Don't forget that the TDI comes as a 75 or later 90 horsepower and don't discount the 1.6 fsi either.
If possible try all variants before you buy.
Good luck,
Darren

Corsa is a heavy and rather less aerodynamic car:
Cd: 0.32
CO2 emissions: 124g/km
MPG Combined: 61.4
Engine: 1248cc Diesel
Transmission : 5 Speed Manual
BHP: 75/170 NM
Top Speed: 102mph
0.62mph: 13.5
Kerb Weight: 1044 kg
A2 1.2 TDI:
Cd: 0.25
CO2 emissions: 81g/km
MPG Combined: 95.3
Engine: 1191cc Diesel
Transmission : 5 Speed Manual/Tiptronic/ECO
BHP: 61/140 NM
Top Speed: 106mph
0.62mph: 14
Kerb Weight: 960 kg
But 0-60mph is not real world motoring. More important is 40-70mph joining a motorway or overtaking ability and this is where the 1.4 TDI (75PS/195NM - so more torque and still less weight than Corsa diesel) is better than it's non turbo Petrol counterpart. The 1.6FSI has plenty of fans as well.
