1994 Chevrolet Corsica review from North America

The battery was weak when I got it, put a $45 batter from Wal Mart in it and so far no problem.

The high beam lights do not work, $15 part on turn lever is bad.

I bought this car in February 2008 from a coworker. It has a few issues, air does not work, bad compressor. The right two power window motors are bad, or the switches are bad, those windows do not go down... not fun in 95 degree heat! the headliner and seats on my car are good, but I have seen other Corsicas with splitting fabric from dry rot. My dash has a few cracks in the vinyl from the sun. It does not burn oil and does not leak any. Cruise control still works. I was surprised to find out the back seat folds for more room and it folds in halves too. It is pokey but I am in second gear at 15 mph and third (top) gear at 25 and then the lockup occurs at 35 to 45 mph. Gas mileage is 28 to 30 in normal stop and go driving in town and some open road driving. I noticed highway driving gets upwards of 35 mpg and up to 38, not bad for a three speed automatic. No CV joint or power steering problems. A great car and I will look for another when it dies because NOBODY wants one and they are cheap! I could have bought a 94 Accord but would have paid $2500 to $5000 for a car similar to the Corsica. I know enough about old Hondas to say they are great but have problems with the air conditioning, sensors for the engine and automatic transmission and paint clearcoat to choose to go with the Corsica and am glad so far I did!
