1992 Chevrolet Corsica from North America - Comments

"Reliable, reliable, reliable! Excellent value for the money!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Not much apart from wearables, and minor things given the distance traveled.

General comments?

An excellent purchase! My odometer today reads 270 000 km, and my 4 cylinder Corsica just won't stop! When you get to higher odometer readings, adding on kilometers becomes fun.

I have babied the car and it serves me well. I have kept it outside for the last three years and having done the rustproof once a year you'd be hard-pressed to find any trace of rust. The Corsica is reliable beyond expectations. I can't say enough good things about the reliability of this car. (My next purchase will be an Acura sport coupe, I know, again, I will not be disappointed.)

WHAT CEZAR SAYS: As a domestic vehicle the Corsica will be a good purchase for someone looking to buy a reliable car at a low price, provided it has been well taken care of. If over 200 000 k make sure to get high mileage oil like valvoline etc., it helps a lot.

PROS: Above average reliability, relatively quiet ride at 175 km/h.

CONS: Manual transmission not available, no cruise control on the 4 cylinder model.

Back after a while, I am now at 315, 000 km and still doing well. I have replaced a radiator, water pump and sometimes I get a little annoying problem with the coolant. This small car has clearly done its job.

I am looking at a 2001 Passat, but given the comments there, I am still afraid. If that VW would do exactly what the this '92 4 cyl. Corsica did for the last 7 years, I would buy it without second thoughts. The reviews are more against it than satisfied. It's hard to guess. If anyone knows something that I would benefit to find out, give me a shout. classicalyoga@hotmail.com.

Back again on the same review: I am now at 320 000 km - the Corsica is still alive and kicking! If this Corsica bore the Silver Star logo of Mercedes, I would still be happy with the way it served me! Transmission and engine - flawless - and otherwise almost no rust. I can sell it happily as I moved on and purchased a new car, and now my girlfriend has trouble parting with it :) )

Awesome. I wish GM made all their models today as reliable as this little one!
