1999 Opel Corsa Sport review from Portugal
"Great car, great looks and top reliability!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor faults during this period:
- Driver's seat broken
- Horn buttons at steering wheel are worn
- Leaking heater matrix @ 230.000km
- Starter motor @ 280.000km.
General comments?
Excellent product. Reliable, solid and bullet proof, the Corsa B, when equipped with an Isuzu power plant becomes a truly strong work horse. It provides brisk acceleration, regarding its 1500cc; it runs smoothly and it's so MPG friendly: usually 5.5liters per 100km under heavy traffic; 4.8l on open road. I love it!
