1997 Opel Corsa City review from UK and Ireland
"Get something else.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At night dims would flick to full beam every time you hit a bump or use your indicators.
Engine would stall at 40mph for no apparent reason.
A lot of road noise.
Windows fog up very easily, and take ages to clear.
Car starts to shake violently at 75mph.
Cabin too small with very little storage space.
General comments?
Good acceleration.
Brilliant as a small town car.
Glad to be rid of it!
