Faults:

Of course, there was the routine maintenance, but there were a few things I had to replace, such as the bushings up front, but that was completely my fault. A lot of things dry rotted because she sat for so long in my garage.

I replaced the alternator, battery, radiator, all hoses, and a few bulbs here and there.

General Comments:

This car has always been good to me. Never left me stranded, or stuck.

Surprisingly awesome in the snow and such. Nice healthy amount of ground clearance, so there is no fear of driving it through the grass/fields/dirt at around 10-15 mph. I actually hill climbed it (carefully) a few times around where I live. She was sure footed, much like a mountain goat.

An all around great car. Not to mention, very, very good on gas. I fill up maybe once every two weeks, and I drive everywhere.

Faults:

Water pump and AC broke the first month. Then it ran good for a few years.

Two weeks ago the engine would not start, mechanic said it broke a rod and the car was worthless with only 120k miles. It was babied and used only 3 or 4 times a week, can't believe it is in the junk yard now.

General Comments:

I am sorry I bought the car, since my 1989 Chevy Cavalier had 330k miles before it broke and the Corsica lasted only 120k miles.

Faults:

Lower intake gasket at 55000 miles.

Lower intake gasket at 100000 miles.

Radiator cracked and replaced at 60000 miles.

Radiator cracked and replaced at 150000 miles.

General Comments:

This is the second Corsica I have owned. The first one lasted 270000 miles. They are not the best cars nor the worst they just do the job with comfort and decent fuel economy.

The biggest problem is with GM and the dealer network, it took too many years to solve the intake gasket problem (In 2003 I installed a revised gasket that works better, so far).

Faults:

Ignition coils went.

Head gasket cracked.

Cracked cylinder head.

Alternator died.

ABS system failed.

Power locks malfunction.

Turn signal broke.

General Comments:

Always got from A to B, but many small problems and a few large ones were this cars downfall.

This car handles well.

Lack of interior space.

Faults:

Replaced radiator at ~100K miles.

General Comments:

Nothing flashy. Get you from point A to B.

Solid build. Testimony: A Dodge Neon rear ended me once. No damage on mine while his Neon needs entire bumper replaced. I feel safe inside this car.

Low maintenance: just the usual oil change. Replaced tires at 80K miles. Replaced brake pad when worn. They sure don't make em like that anymore!
