1996 Chevrolet Corsica review from North America
"Awesome for first car/beater or from A to B"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine stated the MAP sensor was defective... changed it and later found out it was one of my sparkplugs (was swimming in the socket).
Alternator.
E-brake came off.
Roof leaks around the windshield.
Rear brakes lock up way too easily when starting up.
AC stopped working.
General comments?
Bought the car for $500 and put about $700 in it in the last 2 years of owning it.. I think it's a pretty fair deal considering the year of the car. Very comfortable and reliable compared to other beaters :P.
