Sun visor broke.
Bought car in 1992 17000 miles still love it at 250000.
16 years and 233,000 miles and the only thing that went wrong was that the sun visor broke?
Why do I have trouble believing this?
Wow this review was very helpful. Thanks man! I would have never guessed that the sun visor would break. Better scrap it now. Come on.
Seriously though, I would beleive the reviewer if he stated that he had no major problems with the vehicle during ownership. I wrote a review praising my former Corsica because I couldn't believe a low class vehicle could be so reliable. It had the 2.2 engine that I admit never got a complete tune-up, except replacing the spark plugs, wires etc... done by myself (rookie), yet that engine went 352686 kms before it was in a head on collision and got scrapped. The engine and transmission were still in great operating condition at that time, as I was a real stickler on changing the oil and tranny fluid at proper intervals. It's everything else I pretty much put off until the car started falling apart. I was about to change the motor mounts in the car before it was smashed up. Other than that, I can remember changing the serpentine belt tensioner, which is actually a big job because of what it is and where it's located. Cost was around $250 with the part. I changed the factory original heater core, the muffler, and brakes all around in the time I owned the car (just over 200,000K to 352,686K. Maybe a few smaller odds and ends that I forgot about over the years, but there was surely never anything major wrong with the car while I owned it.
I would gladly buy another with the 2.2 if one was available that has been taken care of. Proper maintenance is key to any vehicle if you expect it to last a long time.
