1999 Vauxhall Corsa Club review from UK and Ireland
"The most economical supermini"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central locking - dealer charged £40 to repair.
Catalyst bracket broke, and the cat itself 'cracked' (just on 2 years ownership). Mentioned to the dealer about other comments on this website about Corsa cat brackets, and Vauxhall picked up the cost!
Coolant leak around the thermostat.
General comments?
Car is incredibly cheap to run. Never less than 40 miles per gallon, despite being used almost exclusively in London. Let down by problems like the Cat bracket, which other visitors to this site have clearly identified as a common fault.
