General comments?
Since I bought this car, it's never been without problems. There has always been something wrong with it that needed fixing. If you can name it, chances are I've fixed it.
If you're thinking about a Corsica, do a pressure test on the cooling system and never buy without an inspection. The best feature of these cars is the style. They are attractive cars and the body doesn't rust. It's deceiving though, because my Corsica looks like it's in great shape, but I could have bought a new car for what I've put into it.
The car is attractive and the V6 has fairly decent power.
