2002 Vauxhall Corsa SXI review from UK and Ireland
"This is an awesome car, and I will probably never sell it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gear linkage went, but was replaced under warranty.
Gear gator is now starting to show signs of wear.
General comments?
Driving position is excellent.
Engine pulls very hard around 2000rpm.
When the turbo cuts in, it pushes you back in the seat.
Handling is great.
I have done all the miles on this car since new.
Fuel economy improves with age 57mpg.
Costa about £53 to fill up on £1.30/ ltr.
Tax is £115 per year.
Insurance fully comp for 2 people £400.
Service around £200.
Tyres do about 45000 per set.
Will do about 100mph in comfort.
Brakes are good.
