Although I've seen many other Corsica's on the road which seem to run great, I feel I bought a lemon

General comments?

I really like this car. It has never left me on the road. I drive my cars vary average, to maybe a little bit aggressive. The 3.1 does very well in this small of a car. I am able to pull a 4x8 trailer down interstate at 75mph with nothing on it. When loaded I pull it in drive at 65 or 70. I have taken very good care of my care and it has taken care of me. I use Mobil Fully Synthetic Oil and change oil early. I have my own ODBII scanner so if a light does happen to come on I check it right away and take care of the issue. The reason I am so anal about this is because the Fuel Pressure Regulator diaphragm went out and caused it to run rich, which ended up damaging the O2 sensors along with the Catalic Converter. If I would have taken care of the one issue I would have saved lots of money.

The one negative thing would be the lack of leg room in both front and back seats. The car seems like a decent size 4dr, but really doesn't have a lot of interior space.
