OPELCorsa 5 doors 2003 - 2006

　　Opel introduced a mid-life cycle refresh for the Corsa in 2003, after four years since the launch of its third generation.

　　The little Corsa gained its respect on the market, and Opel felt like the car needed more attention for it. Its customers asked for a fancier appearance, and the carmaker improved it in all areas.

　　On the outside, the small-segment Corsa received body-colored handles and door mirrors for the upper trim levels instead of black as on its non-facelifted version. Also, the black rubber stripes from the bumpers and on the sides were replaced following the car's color. Moreover, the little vehicle received a sportier bumper with two side-scoops that flanked the center grille on the lower apron, where Opel installed fog lights as an option.

　　Inside, the carmaker kept the same look but with better materials. The carmaker installed white dials inside the instrument cluster for the upper trim levels depending on the options. Its base models retained the black ones. There were several options for the climate controls, either manual or automatic systems.

　　Under the hood, Opel installed new or improved engines. The base, inline-three, one-liter unit gained two more ponies. For the diesel version, the German carmaker introduced a new, 1.3-liter unit carried over from Fiat, while the older 1.7-liter four-pot made by Isuzu was increased to 100 hp.
