1984 Opel Corsa 1.2 petrol from Serbia

Summary:

Built for people who just wanted to pour gas in and drive

Faults:

Considering the OHC engine, almost nothing went wrong, even though the car was already 14 years old when I got it.

The downside to Opel Cadettes and Corsas built in that time is the rust eating the chassis badly. I had to get it heavily repaired, but then, that's what you get with a car that old.

The clutch broke just in front of my house, luckily, repaired it for 20€.

The front wheel got blocked, but it was again due to irregular services.

General Comments:

All in all, it was just what I was hoping to get - a car which is cheap to run, easy to fix, and reliable. I cannot imagine a car which would malfunction more rarely.

A great car for city driving, low consumption, easy to find parking space...Surprisingly, enough room in the back seats and in the trunk.

It has served me well for full 6 years, before finally falling apart just like Muttley's car...

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
