Your 92 OPEL Corsa 4 reviews

I bought this car at 48,000 km at 56,000 km Laggage from the distribution chain, engine blocked € 1350 “No care for the manufacturer. Today June 2023, 91,000 km, replacement of the intake manifold € 1500, no manufacturer’s care. I came across a bad series? CAR on not recommended, € 3,000 of costs in 6 years and for a reduced mileage. Dear acquisition. I strongly advise against this series. For me it’s over the purchase of a car in the Stellantis group. Citroen, Peugeot, Opel.

No problem. Engine 1.2 not very efficient but very reliable. On this subject it is advisable to use fuel index of octane 98 rather than 95 as the notice advocates it. �� otherwise absolutely everything has been working since 2007.Only management has been replaced following a generic defect. The car holds the road very well and turns flat. This is a 3 -door version corresponding perfectly to my use. Unfortunately “intelligent” at Opel have decided to remove 3 -door versions. �� The new Corsa 2022, 5 doors is just a Peugeot 208 rebadged by Opel.

Opel Corsa 2014 120hp never had a problem at 55,000 car breakdown which no longer has a torque the pulley vibrated to file so that this is the case at 55000 is necessarily a manufacturing defect is not supposed to change brief part which costs About fifty euros but beware Opel no longer produced it when the car is only 8 years old solution that Opel find me change the engine block only solution the joke frankly it is abused if a person of the OPEL group Sey my message and would have a solution I am interested thank you cordially

Vehicle that accompanied us almost 10 years without any size problem and that we think we can consider reliable. The vehicle has a low seat with very good handling, its wide tires are reassuring. It is very practical in town and very comfortable in the mountains. Comfort is firm which is common to German I would say. Plastics of the dashboard have kept after 15 years. I regret that the latest automatic boxes are not comparable to this model in terms of consumption and performance. The range has evolved into more aggressive cuts.

I bought this car (first car) and I paid the consequences. Purchased at 147,000, I encountered many problems and a major breakdown: key indicator with c hep (corrected by change of candles), antipollution indicator (corrected by new EGR valve), and my major breakdown: a cardan has yielded during ‘A robbery to turn around, towing at Opel, changed transmission. All this in addition to the classic maintenance (drain, discs and platelets, tires, levels. ) cost me more than € 2,200 in less than a year of use for 20,000km. Morale: Do not buy your car with your eyes closed. In the event that this model rolls (buy a well-maintained and well-treated), it is very practical (small dimensions) but lack of recovery (engine too low for weight) and the Enjoy finish leaves mediocre seats and sound Not top but very good first car if once again well maintained and well treated, but still favor the engine 90/95 if you can.

Opel Corsa e – Launch : October 2014
Petrol engines: If the problems encountered are varied, the breakdowns remain quite rare. However, there are power losses on the 1.4 t and on 3-cylinder 1.0 t, the latter having also suffered from stalls when the engine is still cold.
Only the Corsa d’Enton 2016 were affected, due to electronic management. Same anomaly on the 1.2 and 1.4; the cartography must be reprogrammed in the event of a problem. These engines also presented ignition defects.

Diesel engine: If he suffers from aging services, the 1.3 cdti (declined in 75 and 95 hp) is rather reliable. Only real downside: distribution belts distended on engines made between fall 2016 and March 2017.
Without gravity, power losses and the ignition of the diagnostic indicator light on the dashboard, generated by an electrical beam defect, were reported to us.
Transmission: Premature clutch wear and wear affect a few versions 1.4 turbo. An abnormal noise was able to be heard at the level of the gearbox, on models 1.0 and 1.4 sold before summer 2015, but a fixing installed by OPEL technicians, near the control cable, rules the problem.
Frame : Insufficient tightening of the parking brake led to a recall of the Corsa (and Adam) dating from January to April 2017. Another campaign was set up, at the end of 2015, for a lower suspension arm defect.

VERDICT
Some criticize the Corsa the great age of its technical base, resumed of the previous generation. But it serves reliability, since mechanical damage is rare. The real faults of this city car are rather on board, in the various electronic systems, which regularly show failures.
