You could try keeping hold of the door while you put a foot on the ground.
I must say it's never happened to me getting out.

Any aftermarket nylon car mats in yours?

 

I used to get this a lot in older cars. It's static electricity that builds up. Found it was worse in summer for some reason and happened every time I touched the rubber at the base of the window. Not had it happen in the Corsa yet though. Had a shock through my bum once at work when a customer brushed me with a trolley! :lol:

 

I used to get a strong shock from a Fiat 500 i had, it really was a unpleasant zap to my hand when getting out of the car.

 

I used to get it in my fiat punto and it was a good shock too

 

I was getting this for a while but don't get it much anymore, the odd occasion maybe but my mate has been getting shocked every time she gets out the car now though.

 

It depends on your footwear and the surface you walk on in the office/shop etc. Some shoes seem to attract static more than others and this is what causes the 'electric shock' as the static charge in your body jumps to the car just as you are about to touch it.

I used to get those static shocks all the time when I wore trainers. Haven't had any since sticking to my Caterpillar boots.

Static build up used to be really bad in the old Tesco store (they built a new one back in2007/8), so much so that I would go suitably dressed in all cotton clothing if possible, lol! I wouldn't push the trolley either! The new store is much better although it still does it. Either that or I've become somewhat immune now I work there, lol! Most days I hear someone complain of the electric shocks they get!

 

i can remember years ago you could get a strap which fixed to the underside of the car hung down and earthed the car. have a look in halfords or some old school car shop.

just found this

I've got this in every single car (Civic, Panda, Clio, Passat, i20) including our Corsa.

 

that s simply shocking

 

Be an idea just to push the door with the sleeve of the shirt. That way ya don't get a jolt.

With my Fiat 500 i got into the habit of using my elbow to push the door shut.

 

Get them all the time in my Nike's, since I started work in my Steel Toe's I don't get them anymore, so probably just something to do with your footwear.

 

My C1 used to do it occasionally but not very often.
After picking my car up today, after my first short drive, I got a shock when I got out of it! I instantly remembered reading about it in this thread!
Didn't do it once after that! Very strange!
