If you had to be driving one of these cars in a crash..Which one would you choose?

It's not "a toughy" at all, the Volvo would need T-Cut to polish the scratches out, and the Corsa would need a tow truck to shift it. "Modern safety design" on a Corsa is pretty much ABS (if you're lucky) and a big squishy area at the front of the car called the cumple zone which folds up and makes the car 3ft shorter when you hit anything bigger than a large beetle. Volvo since the 1980's have had all the safety features and protection of almost anything rolling out today.
