2004 Vauxhall Corsa Reviews - Page 2 of 4

The 2nd day I had the car my horn wouldn't stop, turned out to be a problem with the horn pad.

Within five months of having the car my manifold had a fault and had to be changed by the dealership.

My timing chain also needed changed after 5 months and still didn't stop the rattling noise I have been receiving.

After 13 months of having the car my 1st and 2nd gear selector wouldn't work so couldn't go into 1st or 2nd gear.

In the 15th month I had a problem with my A.B.S linkage and this had to be sorted.

My engine is also playing up again, keeps rattling and the car keeps cutting out.

I really liked this car to start off with, still do, but been put off by all the problems I've had with this car.

This car is really good for petrol although started to use slightly more with the engine problems.

LPG Tank found loose and gauge for LPG non operational - replaced by maker.

Continual poor pick up on LPG with frequent stalling - never rectified in spite of being back to makers and specialists on five occasions.

Fuel consumption on LPG equal to about 28 MPG (on a run) and therefore doubtful is cost effective to operate on LPG.

Intermittent fault on LPG system with fault light coming on occasionally, but never rectified.

My previous car was an LPG 1.6 Astra and was both reliable and economical (31.5 MPG on LPG) and I regret ever changing the Astra to this dog of a car - now replaced with Renault Modus Diesel.

A Dog from day one till the last day.

Nothing.

Great car bought in November 05, so impressed with Vauxhalls I have just bought an Astra Sport Hatch.

Did 6500 miles in 3 months without complaint, averaged 43mpg in mixed driving dropping to about 30mpg in urban conditions.

Car seemed really well made and was stylish and attractive. The only comment I would make is that the steering is too light.

Front Right wheel squeaks, lip found on braking disc, replacing them using warranty cover.

My first car, great runner, effortless to drive, great on full economy. only 44 litre tank, but can do over 400 miles with one tank.

Dashboard illumination near the fuel gauge has blown a bulb which looks unsightly, but nothing major.

Not a wise move to start up from cold and drive straight off like it says in the handbook as mine stalls when you go to move off, its better to leave it running for 30-60 seconds to let it get itself sorted a bit.

Very spacious for a small car.

Very economical I get 250 miles (sometimes more) out of a full tank which I consider good as I spend more time in the car sat in stationary traffic.

Considering the small engine its quick! The put your foot down and the turbo just shoves you back in your seat as it pulls away. Blows away the old bad points of small diesel cars!

Found it had a squeaky clutch, and the problem continues even though the garage have had a look at it 3 TIMES!

The interior of the door is also squeaky when it is push against.

There is also rattling inside the door, but I have no idea what it could be!!

All this and it had only done 3500 miles!!!

Nice drive!

Looks nicer than most small cars on the market.
