1991 Opel Corsa GL 1.4i

Summary:

Cheap to drive, fun to handle...

Faults:

Nothing.

Just a very funny drive. The 1.4i engine is very awake, and accelerates quite well. Reaches 150 km/h without pain, after wards the car starts to shake a bit.

General Comments:

Simple, but reliable.

Good seats for the size and nice performance. Good economy. Dashboard & interior improved quite a lot since model 1990+. 5-gear box gives more 'silence' in the interior.

Rust? A touch of typical 'Opelness'. The well-known places, but not serious at all. Maybe the Corsa is more strong than the Astra and Calibra?

1989 Opel Corsa GSi 1.6 SE

Summary:

Fast, affordable and reliable

Faults:

Left seat is slightly damaged.

New front-window at 174.000.

Some places are getting a bit rusty.

General Comments:

Very rare car these days, you don't see them a lot in Holland. It has a sporty appearance.

It is a quick and very reliable car. Although it isn't very new anymore it never let me down even not during the winter.

Once I've driven over 200 km/h!

The suspension is very stiff so the handling is great. The special sport seats are very comfortable.

There is just enough space for four grown ups although you cannot make long rides while having passengers in the back.

The trunk is large enough for daily use. On the motorway at 120 km/h it isn't noisy.

I like this car very much and I want drive it as long as possible.
