1993 Chevrolet Corsica LT review from North America
"A reliable friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The original transmission is slowly going (and going slowly, I might add), but that's to be expected for a car with these kind of miles.
The front pads wear quickly, and the rear shoes grab at slow speed - probably my fault.
The front suspension suspends very little nowadays.
All repairs from previous owner include front struts and axle, starter.
General comments?
I just recently purchased this car from my parents, who had owned it since 1997.
Before that it belonged to the Canadian Department of Defence.
It has been the most reliable car any of us have owned, with never a breakdown (I'm probably jinxing myself)
The next-to-gone torque converter dampens the car's once quite fast attitude. A good condition Corsica can surprise people with its speed and handling.
