1994 Vauxhall Corsa Merit E-Drive review from UK and Ireland
"A very good little runner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the car is first started in mornings, it takes a while for it to tick over smoothly.
Car is currently undergoing head gasket replacement.
Spark plugs replaced.
General comments?
Hopefully, the starting issue will be resolved when the head gasket has been replaced.
Other than that, I was very surprised how how the car performs for only being a 1.2i. The acceleration is surprisingly quick.
I also found the car to be quite roomy for only being a small car. Me being around 6ft, and have ample room.
