1994 Chevrolet Corsica review from North America
"I hate it and feel it's a lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the transmission at 148,000 miles.
ABS quits working when you get to 40 MPH.
Service Engine Soon light engages once you drop back below 70 MPH.
Power steering seems to go out in heavy rains.
Runs week and sometimes even stalls when engine is just cranked and cold.
Suspension system shattered and had to be replaced.
Occasionally the PDLs will go out.
Lots of visual defects on dash and back seat from sun (and the Corsica's cheap materials).
Coolant line started to leak and needed to be replaced.
General comments?
This was my very first car. I'm glad it's not going to be my last. From the very beginning, I knew there was something about it. It's possesed. Everything that can go wrong has (well, for the most part). The only good thing about it is the extremely swift acceleration. 0-60 in about 7 seconds. This car can also go through some gas. The MPG rating is supposed to be 21 city and 26 highway. Not true. More like 15 city and 20 highway. This may also be my emission controls as the SES light glows from time to time. All in all, I would NOT recomend this car to anyone. I can't wait until March when I get my Pontiac Grand AM G.T-1. ;)
