Although I've seen many other Corsica's on the road which seem to run great, I feel I bought a lemon

1996 Chevrolet Corsica review from North America

"With a little love and care it will run forever."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Chronic radiator leaks. Had to get it fixed 3 times.

Brakes had to replaced relatively often, but that's mainly because of my driving.

Blinker switch broke off in 2002 leaving me with no brights.

Headlights were not bright at all.

Check Engine light enjoys playing tricks on me.

Anti-lock brake light came on in 2002, but I was told that it just means that I no longer had anti-lock brakes, but I did have brakes.

Blew a piston in February of 2003. But I assure you that this was just from poor maintenance, seeing as the oil was more like a peanut butter substance.

General comments?

With all the things listed above, you might find it hard to believe that I loved this car. But I did. In fact I'm currently looking for another Corsica in the paper. Most of the defects listed above are minor.

I wish terribly that I would've taken better care of this car, as it was very reliable. I never had to try a second time when starting it. The engine had plenty of jump (which a took advantage probably more than I should have). And it was just one of those cars that you can depend on to get you where you are going.
