Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback 1.2 LS 3d (1995/N) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
For the money you pay its not a bad car at all, although it is lacking in technology, its a lot nicer than its rival the Fiesta.
Costs
Very economical, services are extremely cheap, and even cheaper if you do them yourself, buy a Haynes service and repair manual, and there is hardly anything the DIY mechanic can't do.

On the road
Driving
Very slow acceleration being single point injection, handles horrible as standard but fit suspension from a sport/SRI/GSI model and it isn't so bad.

Living with it
Reliability
Never had any problems with it so far, just watch out for optimistic fuel gauges!
Image
Tiny steel wheels and extra high suspension make it look like a bit of a grannies car, but lower it and slap some nice alloys on it and its tolerable.
Comfort
Seats are fine for short journeys, but anything longer than an hour and you will be suffering from back pain for a while.

Security and Service
Security
Not fantastic as there is no alarm or immobiliser, but door locks are steering lock is much better than the fords of that year.
Service
Vauxhall are ok, but they have never managed to do a parts order for me without either forgetting something or giving me wrong parts. Very over priced on repairs.
