1999 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 SXi 16v review from UK and Ireland
"A quick good looking car for a young driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The back seat was stuck in the forward position.
Central locking broke on drivers side.
General comments?
The Corsa SXi is a great little car, quick, good-looking and a babe magnet for those
young girls.
The performance is very good for a 1200cc, and has a very sporty feel.
It handles superbly and it feels like you could go at any speed around any corner, it
also has very good brakes for when your going a bit too fast!
The only problems I have encountered with this car was a central locking problem
and one of the back seats got stuck in the forward position.
Both were relatively cheap to repair.
With alloy wheels and bucket seats as standard the Corsa SXi is a great buy.
