1990 Chevrolet Corsica LT review from North America
"Cheap, fast, reliable and did I mention cheap?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The coolant low light comes on sometimes. There is enough coolant in there so it's probably just a bad sensor.
The paint is peeling something bad. But some simple scraping and respraying with regular auto paint fixed that. The under coat stayed on though so it was just the surface paint.
The seats are starting to fall apart. Probably from having someone sit in them for all those kilometers.
General comments?
This is a great car. We got it when our old V4 Cavalier was in an accident that forced it to be scraped. We got this car at a Ford dealership (of all places) for a very low price (we had insurance money left over).
The car has had some minor problems most of which were with the usual stuff wearing out. This car has some great kick to it. I can regularly out pace more recent cars from red lights. Of course I would loose to high end sports cars, but everyday minivans or sedans are no match.
For a 13 year old car this thing is nearly unbreakable. It is just now starting to show very small rust spots. Nothing you would loose sleep over just yet. Heck other than the paint peeling (which on a black car makes it look like a cow) it's in great shape.
Since the car is so old I don't fancy selling just gonna run it into the ground until it won't go anymore. I probably got another 3-4 years in it before it finally dies... then again it might just surprise me again.
