2018 Vauxhall Corsa GSi pictures

The Vauxhall Corsa GSi has many of the same upgrades as a VXR, but with an engine that's cheaper to run

You can tell it apart by a single exhaust pipe and a GSi rear badge

The Corsa GSi gets sports front seats and a flat-bottomed leather steering wheel

With a 148bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine, the Vauxhall Corsa GSi can get from 0-62mph in 8.9 seconds

With less power, the GSi also sits 10 insurance groups lower than the VXR, making it more affordable for younger drivers

But it still features similar chassis upgrades, wheels and tyres, making it grippy and entertaining to drive

The GSi looks the part thanks to carbon effect door mirrors, a deep grille and air vents

Bi-xenon headlights, a heated windscreen and standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto should help get you to your destination

The GSi's three-door bodystyle affects its practicality somewhat, but it has reasonable interior space and a decent boot

A smaller engine benefits fuel-efficiency, helping the GSi return up to 49mpg - quite a bit more than the 37mpg Corsa VXR
