Faults:

When we first bought the car we thought it was a good buy. We were wrong. There are no Child Saftey locks, the car shakes even with an alignment, we had to replace the bushings on the tires, both O2 Sensors, throttle position sensor, it needs a new alternator, has an antifreeze leak, oil leak, the engine light is on and that is for a EVAP code. The Gas cap needs to be replaced! It is now stalling on me while in park idling. I love Chevy's but will never own another Corsica!

General Comments:

I really like this car. It has never left me on the road. I drive my cars vary average, to maybe a little bit aggressive. The 3.1 does very well in this small of a car. I am able to pull a 4x8 trailer down interstate at 75mph with nothing on it. When loaded I pull it in drive at 65 or 70. I have taken very good care of my care and it has taken care of me. I use Mobil Fully Synthetic Oil and change oil early. I have my own ODBII scanner so if a light does happen to come on I check it right away and take care of the issue. The reason I am so anal about this is because the Fuel Pressure Regulator diaphragm went out and caused it to run rich, which ended up damaging the O2 sensors along with the Catalic Converter. If I would have taken care of the one issue I would have saved lots of money.

The one negative thing would be the lack of leg room in both front and back seats. The car seems like a decent size 4dr, but really doesn't have a lot of interior space.

Faults:

(08-15-06) Radiator leaked when purchased it.

(10-10-06) Water pump burst, causing serpentine belt two months later.

(08-27-07) I hit 108,000 miles and found muffler brackets were broken and my lower-front control arm bushings were worn down badly. ABS light won't turn off.

General Comments:

Very reliable considering the high mileage. I have had several mechanics tell me it is a good little car. It is easy to maintain, even for a girl, and it always starts in extreme heat and extreme cold. Long rides aren't very comfy because of the seat design, but I love my Corsica!
