1994 Vauxhall Corsa Merit 1.2 petrol
Summary:
Cheap in every sense of the word
Faults:
Side mirror wobbles.
Mud flaps difficult to keep fixed.
General Comments:
The Corsa is very cheap, to insure and for petrol, I have to admit.
But it is very slow, even for a 1.2 litre engine.
Also the handling is very bad, it is heavy and not precise.
The gear change isn't easy to carry out - you have to grip the gearstick and wrench it from one gear to another with all your strength!
The clutch also makes a worrying squeak when depressing it.
However, I must admit that nothing major has gone wrong in the 3 months I have kept it, but it doesn't feel reliable. It feels as if things will go wrong with it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have got a 1993 Corsa GSI, and I feel that it is the best not only for power, but also the best handling I have had since passing my test!
I have not lost a race against any Saxo VTS or Pug 106 GTi etc etc. This is just awesome!!!
Superchip next, then possibly nitros!!! Watch out Astras and Calibras, this is fast!!!
