2005 Vauxhall Corsa SXi review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic car, brilliant buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I've had it for 6 months its been back for a few reasons.
The brake pedal switch keeps going, its been replaced once and is clicking again a month later, it doesn't affect anything just makes an annoying clicking sound when pressed.
The glow plug sensor also went and sent the engine management light on so this has also been replaced.
The wind screen wipers were smearing the screen so much you couldnt see if it was raining, took it back and got some more under warranty which are brilliant.
General comments?
This car always starts first time even when cold and since its got a few more miles on it, it is seeming to go quicker and quicker.
It is brilliant on fuel, the best I've got it 450 miles to £35 of diesel.
It is a bit of a shame the SXi doesn't come as standard with air con so can get a bit stuffy in the warm, but was quite expensive to add on as an extra.
The seats and exceptionally comfy.
Love the radio/CD controls on the steering column, makes it a lot easier.
The boot is big enough for quite a lot of bags from the supermarket.
I have the car in the dark metallic ultra blue which is fab when clean but can show dirt/dust and also scratches (only 1 little scrape on the wing mirror) show up .
