Faults:

Currently on the third or fourth alternator

The manufacturer paint is faulty and is peeling off all over the place

The right rear shock makes a lot of noise

Oil pressure gage is malfunctioning. Power locks stick, driver power window switck sticks.

Air Conditioning compressor seized up, all fren has leaked out, air conditioning a write-off.

High beam/low beam selector stuck, so no high beams.

Air vents are semi-clogged, not a lot of air flow.

Power steering slightly out of alignment.

General Comments:

Despite all the problems listed above, there is nothing majorly wrong with the body or engine, and it runs great.

The 3.1L MFI has plenty of power, still has great acceleration when cruising over 100KPH.

The interior is in relatively good condition for a car of it's age, however it was not a charmer to begin with!

I was the first owner of the car, even though it is a 1990 bought in 1991. It was on the dealer lot for almost a year, because of all the extra features, no one wanted the extras.

All of the problems listed above are nothing major, and once fixed to not alter the operation of the car.

Faults:

I have had to replace the thermostat twice within the past year.

Currently have a mysterious problem with the low coolant light coming on, while there is plenty of coolant in the reservoir, and it is not leaking on the ground.

Cruise control quit working.

General Comments:

The V6 offers the get up and go needed.

Overall reliable car, not flashy, but gets you where you need to go.

Faults:

Heater coolant pipe leaked, Turn signal switch failed, Alternator failed, suspension bushings broke and the final failure was the rear gas lines ruptured above the muffler. At the recommendation of my mechanic I donated it to charity.

General Comments:

Would not recommend this car to anyone who lives in an area where salt is used to clean the roads. Out of the cars I've owned, this was the most unreliable and most repaired.

Faults:

Cracked head gasket at 130,000 miles.

General Comments:

Another Chevy for my family that has been worth it's weight in gold.

Still going strong after 13 years on the road!

Faults:

Problems so far have been minor. There are several cheesy plastic bits that have broken.

The paint is in quite good shape for a dark colored GM product of the vintage. It may have been repainted as part of a recall though.

The only work pending is a broken spring and fixing the hand brake. Not bad for 160K+ miles.

General Comments:

To be honest I have never trusted American Cars. This 1990 LTZ has changed my mind though.

The Corsica is quite a powerful car for its size, a little too powerful at times. It is quite easy to day dream your way to 65 or 70 MPH. John Bull does not care for such things so I do my best to be aware of my speed.

Handling for an American car is quite good, not up to some German cars I have driven, but not the pig on roller skates that I expected from a GM product. The LTZ package did have a slightly more performance oriented package though. It is a pleasure to drive and even fun on twisting roads as long as you respect its' limits.
