so in my corsa i got a little 1.0ltr engine. Its an embarrasment and hopfully soon will be replaced with a c20xe, but anyway my point is my corsa has been sat now for about 2 months and decided to go start it the otherday.
First time like it was new :O and this is a engine i've taken to the redline in every gear for over a year everyday!!! i have to admit i am amazed by the thing

anyone else ever had a invincible car?? xD

My pug will just not die. I've given it death from the day i got it and now on 48k. Currently sits in my Mum's garden unused until i decide what i'm doing. Starts first time every time in this weather.

It was even starved of oil at one point and then run for about a month with a leaking rad.

I'd have another!!

yer they do, just replace chain and tensioner and thats sorted..... its a 3cylinder 1.0l its not meant to be powerful is it.....

its like anything look after it and it will look after you and mine has, so i'm staying faithful to it! i want a good reliable run around and it ticks all the box's there.

My little 1.0 didn't have a single thing go wrong engine wise

Really strong engines. Stupidly econimical as well. No matter how I drove it I was still able to get well over 100 miles to £10

Very slow though but you can't have everything lol

i agree, my 1.0 didnt have much go wrong with it for the amount of miles i done in it. although as for econimical they are good, but now i got a diesel, the corsa is pretty poor compared to it.
