1989 Opel Corsa GSi review from Netherlands
"Fast, affordable and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left seat is slightly damaged.
New front-window at 174.000.
Some places are getting a bit rusty.
General comments?
Very rare car these days, you don't see them a lot in Holland. It has a sporty appearance.
It is a quick and very reliable car. Although it isn't very new anymore it never let me down even not during the winter.
Once I've driven over 200 km/h!
The suspension is very stiff so the handling is great. The special sport seats are very comfortable.
There is just enough space for four grown ups although you cannot make long rides while having passengers in the back.
The trunk is large enough for daily use. On the motorway at 120 km/h it isn't noisy.
I like this car very much and I want drive it as long as possible.
