Faults:

Car feels like it is going to stall at low speeds.

Had air mass sensor changed recently as car was juddering at high speeds, and an orange light was coming on.

Told by garage it was the air mass sensor, so this was changed even though nothing was coming up on diagnostics.

Now there is a problem with the car when it is running at low speeds, but the engine light has remained off.

General Comments:

Car has been reasonably reliable up to now.

Does anyone have any comments which could help?

Faults:

Nothing major, the fan belt squeals in cold weather and the tyres hit the mudflaps when cornering hard, but that is because I have 17" alloys on it.

General Comments:

The Corsa has good performance, especially off the mark.

Spins it front wheels easily.

The handling is good and very predictable, but can get twitchy at higher speeds.

Mine has power steering, which is quite rare for the old shape Corsas, and it is perfect and not too light or heavy, and makes parking easy.

It looks fantastic especially, as it has a eyelid boot spoiler, Lexus lights, nicely finished exhaust and 17" alloys. turns a few heads.

The seats are very supportive and comfortable, but the space between the front two seats is a bit tight, but there is plenty of legroom in the back and front, which is surprising for a car of this size. Not recommended for 5 people though.

It does offer a good ride, but makes a fuss of going over things like grids and small potholes, which other cars glide over.

It has exceptional fuel economy, especially when driven sensibly.

It has rather limited boot space, but is more than enough for weekly shop.

It has very low insurance (group 3), which is ideal for young drivers.

The 60bhp engine gives a nice growl at the higher revs.

The standard equipment is very basic, and it is rare to find a Corsa with electric windows and power steering.

It is very reliable, and has never not started first time, even in -3 degrees.

Faults:

Totally shagged brakes at 52,000 miles, despite the pads eating the discs it still stoppped.

Was an easy, cheap fix. Vectra discs and pads fitted it, however were a pain to fit.

The rear brake cylinders were leaking on both wheels, again a problem.

Cam belt was changed at 50,000 miles, lucky as the water pump was just about to fall off. If your Corsa rattles when you rev and it's the same rattle it's the pump.

Eats wiper blades and tyres, the standard 145 R13s will not stop one of these. If you're keeping the 13" rims get 165/70 tyres and get good ones.

General Comments:

Love him, he's called chav and never let me down. Easy to service and maintain, nice and cheap, goes 350-400 miles on a 45 litre tank.

Wouldn't suggest it for a petite lady as the steering is very heavy.

Faults:

My cat on exhaust had to be replaced after 2wks of owning car. good fuel consumption. no power steering so steering very heavy. on good day car drives nice, but is very stodgy sometimes.seems to jump through changing gears on /off.bad problems with back window very badly demisted and wet through takes ages to dry. overall I like my corsa. back window spray works when it feels like it.

General Comments:

Good little car quite happy to drive it. would probably buy another, but newer.
