1989 Opel Corsa swing review from Netherlands
"Like a tank!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The waterpump gave up on me after a drive of about 3500 kilometers through rough terrain at about 110.000 Kilometeres. (Verdon gorge-Southern France) On the wayback I raced an Opel Astra 2.0 and beat him by about five minutes after 1200 Kilometers. (Victory is sweet!) But I had that fixed (the waterpump) for about 17 euro's. Now it's driving great again.
General comments?
I have no negative reports on this car. It's old an rusty OK, but it will bring me anywhere and if it has somekind of problem there's always a dealer around to supply me with the correct parts. Topspeed is 150 kilometers per hour. And its seems the faster you drive the more quiet the car gets.
