1997 Vauxhall Corsa Vegas review from UK and Ireland
"Not an ideal 1st car, too high on insurance in relation to its performance. Go for the 1.2"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wing mirrors very wobbly- Replaced, £15.
Rear section of exhaust replaced, clanking when I went over speed bumps, even at crawling pace, especially with people in the back. - Replaced, £40.
Sometimes if I catch the car on the clutch a bit too early when setting off, it makes a very strange vibration at low revs, and loses power, but this wears off after traveling at 30/40 mph for a few minutes. Odd :S.
General comments?
Good car, 5 doors is a big bonus.
1.4 engine is nippy, and very economical, especially on the motorways.
