    Bullet proof? Are you sure?

    Nephew went through 3 of them in as many weeks, all 3 leaked oil badly.

    OK the 1st one may have had something to do with being upside down?

    2nd one had a major oil leak and the engine went pop.

    3rd one may have had something to do with the front wheels pointing in different directions after kerbing it.

    If they are bullet proof why so many breaking for spares? even low mileage ones.



    Yes I am sure. I'm not sure who your buying your cars from but I would shop elsewhere in future.


    I have had a 1.0l Corsa B and that withstood me and my two siblings learning to drive in it and I cannot remember that needing any work on it.


    My mother had a 1.0L Corsa c and I cannot remember that ever needing any work doing to it.


    I currently own a 1.0L Corsa c that I bought two years ago with 19K miles on it for the grand total of £1300 to go back and forward to work in it. It now has 70K mile son it and the only mechanical issue has been a £3 oil pressure sensor.


    There is a know fault that the brake servo seal leaks water into the foot well, however this is an easy enough fix.


    They are fantastic cars.
