1994 Vauxhall Corsa SRi review from UK and Ireland
"A brilliant, cheap, nippy little hot hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 120,000, and again at 140,000 miles.
Speedo stopped working at around 100,000 miles.
Tiny bit of rust on bottom of the drivers door at 150,000 miles.
General comments?
Nippy little car. Although heavy as no PAS.
Cheap to insure, tax and run on petrol - can easily do 330 miles to a full tank.
Great first time car.
Lots of modifications available for it.
Interior is basic, but as mentioned before, lots of modifications available to add your own touches.
Would highly recommend this little car...I've just brought a Corsa C, and hope it is as reliable as the Corsa B range!
Lots of room inside, even if you are 6 foot!
Faults only started on my Corsa B when I hit the 120,000 miles mark, (did 60 miles a day, motorway driving) and then it was probably because I got lazy in getting it serviced regularly.
