General Comments:

I have owned Corsa B 1993 1.4 Swing for the last 21 years. The car is pretty economical, and very reliable.

Notice that nothing needed to be done about the rust, shocks, suspension, wheel bearings, radiator, dynamo, steering, other electrical stuff etc.

There is some rust underneath the doors, but not on the chassis, and the parts checked at EU Control/MOT.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
