2001 Opel Corsa Vita review from Australia and New Zealand
"Overall reliable, and ideal for the city"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far the car has used up a lot of bulbs, and has had its brake pads replaced.
General comments?
This car is so far reliable and agile, with a nice solid feeling to it.
The road handling is good for a small car, and it is quite reasonable on fuel.
My car is labelled as an Opel Vita, and is the same as a Barina or Corsa. Opel Vita is the name used in Japan for this car, as it was imported used to New Zealand from Japan. I am thus far happy with the car.
Servicing of the car is however rather costly.
