My metallic black 89 Corsica sedan was being repainted when it was 2 months old. Again after it’s third year. Both under warranty. Needed a third paint job at 10 years old, but took it to Macco. The Macco job wasn’t perfect, but it lasted another 10 years lol. Have had it 31 years now. Just hit 127k.

@@jkeelsnc It was. Some bands or owners of songs don't mind if a song happens to drift into the background for a few seconds. Others lose their mind if they can recognize three notes. I forget the movie, but an entire segment of it had to be re-edited because a car drove by and you could hear Pink Floyd playing on the radio. At the time the members of and record company for Pink Floyd were busy suing each other into oblivion. So the director knew that even ambient background sound would result in an army of lawyers coming after the movie as soon as it was released. They've calmed down a lot since then. But other bands (King Crimson, Rolling Stones, Beatles, among others) are constantly scanning to find anyone who uses anything too close to what they have a copyright on.
Paint quality was a problem with a lot of cars in the late 80s and early 90s. Chrysler's paint would peel right off the primer. Ford had issues with the clear coat mysteriously thinning out to reveal bare paint. It was a bad era for car paint. Cars nowadays are having paint problems too. Manufacturer's have been covertly switching to water based paint and it's not durable at all. Hyundai and Nissan are having issues with delaminating paint.
I bought a 1988 FWD Cutlass Supreme that same color in 1994, and despite only being six years old at the time half of the paint had already peeled off and the windows would be covered in a gray film after it rained. Needed a cheap car and for eight years it only stranded me once when the notorious GM electric fuel pump failed.
@@twincitiesdashcam9119 I'm pretty sure the white paint was affected too, so maybe you got lucky. My Mom had a 92 Acclaim in a periwinkle kind of color and the clear coat thinned pretty quickly. By year 7 all of the paint had flaked off from the door frames at the A-pillars revealing gray primer. The rest of the paint was dull and chalky, probably on the verge of peeling too. That A604 4spd was a real junker. My Mom's Acclaim had the Torqueflite 3spd and it was problem-free for 182k miles.
Honda used the same design in some of their late '80s cars. But nobody actually left them attached in when getting in and out. That was just to fulfill a federal requirement. Most other cars only had the shoulder belt attached to the door (like VWs) and had a separate lap belt, or used "mad mouse" automatic retracting shoulder belts -- which I actually thought were really cool when I was a kid.
@@halohunter5217 I had a two-door Geo Metro with them, always used them like normal seat belts. I tried leaving them passively buckled ONCE, and when I got in the lap belt wanted to go under my knees at calf height!
Yes the 2.8 with manual trans was a decent performer for its price, though not too many were sold. The more common 2.0 with 3 speed auto was clinical depression on wheels.

I don't work in there anymore, but I dream about moving to USA or another country where I can do what I know and love with more dignity, but I'm 43 now, and I think that's too late...
Back in the early '90s we had a Corsica as a loaner while the family car was being worked on. I still remember when I shut the passenger side door (I didn't even slam it hard) the window fell down into the door...
Whats more when these older cars went wrong, chances were you could fix it yourself and keep it running for peanuts as they were pretty simple. I wouldn't even attempt to do any serious overhaul work on a modern car. They have been designed deliberately to be un-serviceable by anyone other than dealers with $$$$s worth of special tools and diagnostic equipment. Its all a scam.
soundseeker63 you'd like to think that but these things had that V6 so shoehorned in there you had to take the engine out of the car to change the serpentine belt! I'm not joking either lol alternatively you can detach the engine, support it from underneath and jack the car up off of it lol. They were cool cars though and had pretty decent power!
@@soundseeker63 sounds like you never changed the plugs in one of these... or the belt (had to remove motor mount) or the coils... or.... These things were junk from the factory.. meanwhile I have had no issues fixing my 2001 BMW or 2009 Kia...
Blew my mind to see that 5-speed shifter in this Corsica. Finding a Beretta with a V6/stick combo was rare enough, I didn't think GM ever made a Corsica with a manual.
Both manual and hatch versions were really rare. Back in ‘07 I had its cousin an Achieva coupe with the Quad4 and manual for a few years. They also made about 6 of those. It wasn’t as fun to drive as I thought it would be. Had a Saturn at the same time, they were much more fun to drive as long as U were good about checking the engine oil level
I know everyone says these car were bad but I miss them. Nice basic transportation without the distraction of an infotainment screen and scrabble-book collection of driver aids. No drivers using cell phones in their cars back then either.
@@OrangeCrusader Not True . Zach Morris had a Giant cell phone on the show "Saved by the Bell" at the same time this video was being made in 1989. But then again if Zach Morris can afford a cell phone in 1989 be probably would not be driving a cheap Chevy Economy car lol.
I remember my friend being gifted with a used 4- door version when we were 16. I prayed to the gods that when I turned 17 my mom wouldn't be that cruel. I was right... I got the 5- door version.
In the summer of that year, i bought a brand new cavalier z24, it was a blast to drive at the time! Mine was burgundy red with silver accent. I wish they do a retro review of that model!
@R Robert The 90 was the best year for the Z24, It was the first year for the 3.1 and last year before the facelift. My brother had a 90 Z24 Red with a 5 speed. They are really hard to find anymore. Hold on to yours and thanks for keeping it alive.
I'll never forget this car. My religion teacher had a blue one like this with tint. Just like the Corsica, Mrs. Haas did not play and whenever she got serious, she meant business. This was also my mom's first car and although I had not made it to planet earth yet, according to my grandmother she couldn't stand that fucking car & she hated every minute of ownership. 🤷♂️ I don't see what the big deal was, seemed like a pretty practical & okay car to park in her driveway back then
The GM 60degree V6 was no joke, especially the 87-93 vintage here. Not hi tech by any standard but they were mostly reliable and gave you a choice between decent fuel mileage or tire burning torque. Unfortunately they "improved" the design around 92-94 (the 3100) and that's when the problems started, and were never fully acknowledged or addressed by GM all the way through the mid 00s
Nah, these engines only got better (G6 GTP anyone?) And thanks to GMs terrible intake gasket design, you can grab these engines dirt cheap. Only downside is that the manual transaxles are tough to find.
I’ve been waiting for this video for sooo long. My mother owned one of these growing up all thru my childhood. She also had a brand new beretta. My twin brother and I used to lay in the back and stare at the sky while going down the highway, loved the hatchback. So many memories!
The 2.8/3.1 engines from 87-93ish sounded great due to the splayed valve/exhaust port design. Unfortunately these heads were only available on the FWD versions of the engine as seen here. The Camaro/Firebirds with the 2.8/3.1/3.4 kept the original head design and sounded totally different. Ditto for the S10 vehicles and anteater minivans. Completely different top end.
@@captainmorgan5449 I agree. My cousin had one and was surprising. People won't believe this . But that fiero was good in the snow (am Canadian) . It was like a Volkswagen bug . You past through the snow. Ha ! Ha ! Would love to have one . Always love those Fiero GT
we had a Corsica growing up and that thing would run no matter what, we even used it to clear snow in our driveway once. I have a big soft spot for them
In 1992 I bought an "88 Corsica 4-cylinder for college commuting. Ugh. So sluggish. In 1993 I upgraded to an '88 Corsica with the 2.8L V6. Loved it. And oh man, everyone wanted to drive that quick little zinger. It was fun! And the V6's burbling baritone exhaust note ALWAYS drew comments.
I just recently seen one of these beauties on the road in 2019! I must say that I was really impressed to see one that actually survived after all these years... lol 😂
I'm not sure why, but here lately I have been really in love with the whole back to basics car sort of thing. I could not stand corsica's when I was younger. Growing up my first car was a 1994 cavalier and I could not stand it. As I get older I have an appreciation for these older basic modes of transportation.
@@brettcannon74 That isn't exactly true: The Beretta and Corsica design was derived from the Chevy Cavalier's J-car platform. Sunbird, of course, is Cavalier's Pontiac cousin.
I really dig that drawer-style glove compartment. Seems like that design could hold more and made everything more accessible. I wonder why that didn't catch on more.
I had a 1990 Chevrolet corsica. It was an ok car. Comfortable seats, decent ride/handling, and good mpg about 27 on the highway. Otherwise tachometer stopped working at times, water hose bust, and ball joints were bad. I began to wonder if the dealer rolled the numbers back, but GM did at least during the 1990s had issues with electrical, cooling, and suspension systems.
One of my best friends bought one of those when he first got married back in 1989, and he loved it! It really was a well-proportioned and inexpensive car for the up-and-coming Yuppie back in the day.
@@Mr_Chris77 Oh my god that's too good! LMAO!! Also I would think this drawer over time would become lose and I bet it squeaked and rattled and would slide open and close every time you left the line and stopped in traffic.
I had a 1995 Corsica and it was the best car I owned back when I got it in 2001. I put 113K mostly trouble-free miles in over 7 years (far more than any of my other cars before), I still miss it after trading it in on a 2009 Mazda 3. And I miss it even more than my 2012 stick-shift Fusion I used to have.
When I was little, our family car was a 1995 Corsica, with the 3.1 V6 if I remember correctly. My parents bought it in 2001 about a year before I was born. It had no A/C (which is an essential in summer in Mississippi), the head liner was held up with thumb tacks, and the seats looked like a cat threw a temper tantrum on them. I have 4 older siblings, and all of them used it as their "first" car. As I grew older, the car had more issues, the most major being a blown head gasket when my oldest brother was driving to work. Years after, the radio went out, the rear windows stopped working, it went through a hailstorm, a leak brought water to the front passenger floorboard, a massive hole on the dash over the gauge cluster, and probably a few other minor issues I can't remember from the top of my head. Even through all of the abuse it went through, it had over 250K miles and still ran strong. Then, three years ago, my father sold it to our neighbors for $900. Not even one week later, my neighbors were t-boned in that car by a Ford Expedition that ran a red, and that was the end of that little POS car. Ever since, I've never seen another Corsica.
As nitpicky as reviewers get about current cars, it's good to remember what POS's cars were as recently as this one, and how positively they were reviewed then. Nowadays, this would be the Yugo of cars.
The EPA had required new paint formulas. Some took longer than others to get it right. Chrysler and GM took the longest. That's why so many of their cars had the signature burnt/fade area on hoods, roofs, and trunks. A friend who did body work told me GM started using fewer coats on many of their less costly models around this time. Unless you were an expert in auto paint, and had an old and new model side by side, you couldn't tell the difference when new. But as they aged it faded a lot faster.
I never thought anything of these cars when they were new. To me, they were "whatever" cars. But the 5 door hatchback I remember being around - it's an interesting idea! This review makes me appreciate that body style a bit more. As they said, you barely notice the difference between this and the regular sedan. One thing I thought was weird on these was how part of the back door formed the edge of the rear wheel well, rather than having a piece of the quarter panel between the door and the wheel. I don't know why they did that.
Got one for $150 back in 1998, had 187,000 miles on it. Would not idle, 2.8 V-6 with the 3-speed automatic. Cleaned the idle air control valve, and with working A/C that car got us through anything until 316,000 miles six years later. It was quite rusty, and then one day the engine simply shut off, no noise, nothing. Done. Yes, the car felt and looked incredibly cheap inside, but rode well and did its needed duties for us. Only needed a battery, brakes and tires over the time we had it. Duct tape was our friend too to re-affix things in the interior!
The Citation reborn!!!!!!!! Yes, that's right. When the Beretta & Corsica debuted in the spring of 1987, they were late replacements for the Citation, which had been dropped after '85.
Yep! As a matter of fact, it was shown as a Citation in 1986... But Chevrolet wanted to avoid the stigma of the Citation and renamed it the Corsica. Also... these were Chevrolet's version of the N-Car, best known as the Grand Am, Cutlass Calais and Somerset by Buick.
I miss the old Motorweek because they took all the "Precautionary" measures before testing vehicles on a strip like "flashing the brights twice" and discussing random nonsense with a Motorweek "co-worker" at the window of the vehicle just before launching the car. Very important areas they cover there !!!
I really miss this body style. My mom had a 5-door 1985.5 Escort when I was little, and my first car was a Subaru GL Turbo liftback. I swear that Subaru and this car share the same rear glass.
I rented Corsica's all the time when I'd travel to Florida in the 80s and 90s. Never a problem with any of them, and if you had a 6-cylinder, they were pretty quick for the time.
I saw a Chevy Brettea a year ago it was a red one and it was in really good shape so obvious the owner takes really good care of it, as for the Chevy Corsica I saw one two months ago( it was the sedan version) and again it was in good shape.
I live in Toronto, Canada. I rarely see Taurus', acclaim's, and Corsicas anymore. Meanwhile 1992 to 1996 Camrys and 1990 to 1993 Honda accords are still everywhere.
I had a 96 Corsica and I didn't appreciate it at the time but looking back it was a awesome nice car that I probably wouldn't mind driving to this day. Always wished it was a Beretta when I had it lol
@@waltervila33 1990 models forward replaced the 2.8 with a 3.1L V6, optional on base and standard on GT. The GTZ had the HO Quad-4 engine with a Getrag 5-speed manual standard. But it could be optioned with the GT's 3.1L V6 for buyers wanting a 4-speed automatic trans.
@@halohunter5217 Back in the day, my Mom had a 1992 Plymouth Acclaim. That model camd out in 1989. The build quality was so much better. Same with the Ford Tempo. Much better built car.
The Corsica was supposed to be GM's sporty "European-inspired" family car, and they actually even sold it in Europe for a while. But you can really see how the corporate bean counters took their toll on it, with the cheapness of the controls and materials. It also had an ungainly muffler that hanged down awkwardly below the rear bumper, and very poor quality paint that started peeling after just a few years.
Its how they got around the laws on requiring passive restraint, i.e. a air bag. Since no air bag installed, they had to put in the door mounted seat belts. I remember some early 90's Toyota's and Honda's had those seat belts on tracks that would roll up when the door was closed. But you still had to put on the lap belt part. I always thought that was silly because if you forgot the lap belt and got into an accident, then you would slip forward and possibly out of the shoulder belt and probably get a nasty road rash on your neck or face if you were lucky from the belt. When all cars were finally required to install airbags these silly automatic seat belts went away.
I had a almost identical one that I bought new as a commuter car. Held up very well on a 175 mile per day round trip. Never failed to start or left me stranded. Only thing that killed it was being T-Boned by a Suburban pulling out of a gas station. Had almost 300 K miles. Certainty not the greatest car built but it did its job...
Mr. Regular calls the 70's to early 80's American cars the 'Malaise era". Bullshit, THIS was malaise era, thanks to the leadership of Roger "We can make cars like Sunbeam makes toasters" Smith.
I've always considered Toyota, for all its vaunted reliability, to be among the most appliance-like of automakers. Driving a washing machine would be more exciting.
The rear looks a lot like Renault 25. The design wasn't so terrible but the interior plastics looked (and sounded) cheaper than the interior of those driveable toy cars for kids.
Recycled kids toys was probably not that far off the mark! lol $10k start price minus sales tax, dealer margin, manufacturer margin and overheads and that leaves not a lot spent on the materials of the car its self!
I remember sitting in one of the Corsica's sister cars, the Beretta, back in the day. I looked at the salesperson and asked him if the price is less because it says "Corsica" on the dash. He fired back immediately as if it happened a lot, "it's a rarer so it costs more". Awesome QC Chevy! 🙄 Hell, even the dealer missed it! 😔 🤯 Oh, and I'm sorry, that rear end is NOT attractive. Neither then, nor now imo.
my mom had a green one back in 2001 haha. drove us to school, but hers was newer and with the 3.1l (96' LT model) in green color. it had that chevy muffler distinct sound lol.
I saved a 1990 Corsica Hatchback LT 3.1 base automatic with power locks from getting crushed when I was 16 in January of this year. It’s a beautiful car and so distinctive from any other on the road. Being a 29 year old car it holds up quite well, the3.1 isn’t the most reliable and it needs some maintenance but I love it to pieces and hope to keep it garaged and in perfect condition, as it is quite clean for a fwd GM of the era. There’s next to no rust on it and the turquoise paint is perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome than to purchase that Corsica and save it from becoming scrap metal
A totally decent car, I drove a 2.2 5 speed a lot and it was totally adequate, handled not bad. And some time in a 3.1, good motor, lots of midrange grunt, good mpg, cheap interior but a lot of stuff was back then at this price.
Definitely a disposable car. It might be good during the time you were making payments. But after 4-5 years too many were suffering the death of a hundred little problems. Second or third owners bought them because they were cheap. But dumped them as soon as they were looking at a repair bill that cost as much as the car.
Well said. Gm’s cars from the 70s lasted longer. Not the major components, those needed fixing for sure, but the hundred little problems that the 80s gm cars had. Maybe when they lightened them up for cafe standards they put in lightweight mexican parts.
My aunt had this pos. I can't recall how many times it ende up on the side of the road. Hard to believe a new dealer car could be a lemon but this car was just that. A factory lemon 🍋
My uncle still have his 1990 Beretta Indy limited edition in competition yellow with a cracked rear spoiler, cracked front air dam, cracked dash, faulty digital gauges, and other issues.
My parent's owned one, they had a 1995 Corsica with the V6 3.1 Liter Motor. It was an awesome car while I had it until it was totaled over 10 years ago.
You can almost see the clear coat coming off in this video.
Had 2 silver ones on the block we lived on and both had severe peeling.
Too funny! My parents had a silver one and the paint was coming off badly

I wouldn't even attempt to do any serious overhaul work on a modern car. They have been designed deliberately to be un-serviceable by anyone other than dealers with $$$$s worth of special tools and diagnostic equipment. Its all a scam.
soundseeker63 you'd like to think that but these things had that V6 so shoehorned in there you had to take the engine out of the car to change the serpentine belt! I'm not joking either lol alternatively you can detach the engine, support it from underneath and jack the car up off of it lol. They were cool cars though and had pretty decent power!
@@soundseeker63 sounds like you never changed the plugs in one of these... or the belt (had to remove motor mount) or the coils... or.... These things were junk from the factory.. meanwhile I have had no issues fixing my 2001 BMW or 2009 Kia...
And yet none of them could crack 9 seconds 0 to 60.
Blew my mind to see that 5-speed shifter in this Corsica. Finding a Beretta with a V6/stick combo was rare enough, I didn't think GM ever made a Corsica with a manual.
I think they had a decent take rate early in the run but by the end they were nearly all automatics destined for fleets.
Manual transmissions only in the last 20 years or so became popular and desired
Corsica is 2.8V6, 130 hp, nice car
I saw plenty, but always with 4-cylinder engines.
Both manual and hatch versions were really rare. Back in ‘07 I had its cousin an Achieva coupe with the Quad4 and manual for a few years. They also made about 6 of those. It wasn’t as fun to drive as I thought it would be. Had a Saturn at the same time, they were much more fun to drive as long as U were good about checking the engine oil level
I know everyone says these car were bad but I miss them. Nice basic transportation without the distraction of an infotainment screen and scrabble-book collection of driver aids. No drivers using cell phones in their cars back then either.
Yeah, 'cause nobody had cell phones!! Lol
@@whocares7144 I know.....good times
@@whocares7144 Yeah. they had car phones - just not people who drove Corsicas.
@@OrangeCrusader Not True . Zach Morris had a Giant cell phone on the show "Saved by the Bell" at the same time this video was being made in 1989. But then again if Zach Morris can afford a cell phone in 1989 be probably would not be driving a cheap Chevy Economy car lol.
This particular model is bad. You could have gone for a Toyota Camry these days and be fine.
I remember my friend being gifted with a used 4- door version when we were 16. I prayed to the gods that when I turned 17 my mom wouldn't be that cruel. I was right... I got the 5- door version.
5 door Corsica are so cool! I miss my dads 91 4 door FIV6! Burgundy on burgundy
In the summer of that year, i bought a brand new cavalier z24, it was a blast to drive at the time! Mine was burgundy red with silver accent. I wish they do a retro review of that model!
I had a blue 5 speed z24 with a digital dash...man that brings back memory’s. The cheap plastic signal stalk broke off but I loved that car
@R Robert The 90 was the best year for the Z24, It was the first year for the 3.1 and last year before the facelift. My brother had a 90 Z24 Red with a 5 speed. They are really hard to find anymore. Hold on to yours and thanks for keeping it alive.
What does that have to do with this car?
Anibal Babilonia I have a 1992 Z24 in burgundy. Only has 90k kilometres, it’s my daily driver
@@brettcannon74 More appealing than the Corsica.
I love all the cheap-sounding noises this car makes.
crack, snap, crunch, break.
I'll never forget this car. My religion teacher had a blue one like this with tint. Just like the Corsica, Mrs. Haas did not play and whenever she got serious, she meant business. This was also my mom's first car and although I had not made it to planet earth yet, according to my grandmother she couldn't stand that fucking car & she hated every minute of ownership. 🤷♂️ I don't see what the big deal was, seemed like a pretty practical & okay car to park in her driveway back then
Hahah
Like your mama
Surprised it survived the review
That is impressive acceleration for a late 80's family sedan and it's even adequate by today's standards.
The GM 60degree V6 was no joke, especially the 87-93 vintage here. Not hi tech by any standard but they were mostly reliable and gave you a choice between decent fuel mileage or tire burning torque. Unfortunately they "improved" the design around 92-94 (the 3100) and that's when the problems started, and were never fully acknowledged or addressed by GM all the way through the mid 00s
Yep! Better acceleration than my 2013 Chevy Spark!
Nah, these engines only got better (G6 GTP anyone?) And thanks to GMs terrible intake gasket design, you can grab these engines dirt cheap. Only downside is that the manual transaxles are tough to find.
Corsica's aren't fondly remembered these days, but they sold pretty well for a while and while cheaply made, they weren't bad transportation.
I’ve been waiting for this video for sooo long. My mother owned one of these growing up all thru my childhood. She also had a brand new beretta. My twin brother and I used to lay in the back and stare at the sky while going down the highway, loved the hatchback. So many memories!
Same, Thomas. The nostalgia is strong with this review.
I like these cars
I'm surprised how good the V6 sounds running down the drag strip. Definitely didn't expect that little 2.8 to sound that mean.
That 2.8 had an awesome exhaust note
Those g.m v6 engines from that era all had that bad ass exhaust note. My grandpa had a chevy lumina and it sounded really good I remember
The 2.8/3.1 engines from 87-93ish sounded great due to the splayed valve/exhaust port design. Unfortunately these heads were only available on the FWD versions of the engine as seen here. The Camaro/Firebirds with the 2.8/3.1/3.4 kept the original head design and sounded totally different. Ditto for the S10 vehicles and anteater minivans. Completely different top end.
The Fiero GT's had the 2.8 v6 with dual exhaust. Best sounding car I have owned
@@captainmorgan5449 I agree. My cousin had one and was surprising. People won't believe this . But that fiero was good in the snow (am Canadian) . It was like a Volkswagen bug . You past through the snow. Ha ! Ha ! Would love to have one . Always love those Fiero GT
we had a Corsica growing up and that thing would run no matter what, we even used it to clear snow in our driveway once. I have a big soft spot for them
if it weren't for these videos, I'd have no clue of the yesteryear. I live for these videos!
In 1992 I bought an "88 Corsica 4-cylinder for college commuting. Ugh. So sluggish. In 1993 I upgraded to an '88 Corsica with the 2.8L V6. Loved it. And oh man, everyone wanted to drive that quick little zinger. It was fun! And the V6's burbling baritone exhaust note ALWAYS drew comments.
2:53 I thought buddy was going to rip the steering wheel off.
My father owned one, "fortunately" it was stolen; undercover blessing.😎
I just recently seen one of these beauties on the road in 2019! I must say that I was really impressed to see one that actually survived after all these years... lol 😂
Ray Williams Because they were turds
A Corsica with it's hazard lights on. Yep that's about right.
:)
Old cars were cool since they always offered column shifters for the most part. This had an optional floor shift though.
I like these old corsicas. They are rare nowadays though
So true, your average stick of butter outside was more durable - making the Corsica quite collectible.
I'm not sure why, but here lately I have been really in love with the whole back to basics car sort of thing. I could not stand corsica's when I was younger. Growing up my first car was a 1994 cavalier and I could not stand it. As I get older I have an appreciation for these older basic modes of transportation.
The era of dual headlamps made of glass, now we have this garbage that fades and oxidizes.
Bring back the Beretta and the Ford Probe
Did the car kill him?
Never seen that guy in future episodes.
Funny. Me and me friend used to call these cars Corpsicas.
Yes, I think judging by the seat belt/throat proximity he was probably asphyxiated during the 60-0 brake tests. Poor guy :-/
Yes it killed him.
Lol seriously though!
@@soundseeker63 Either that or he was decapitated.
I had the sunbird with a 3.1, 5 speed.. that was one one of the cheapest fun I got from a car. Reliable too
Again, absolutely nothing to do with this car.
Brett Cannon then I guess it’s a good thing I wasn’t talking to you then.
Thystaff Thywill ya.. my “multi port” ran better than the “sequential port” I had. Both had enough piston slap 😂
@@brettcannon74 That isn't exactly true: The Beretta and Corsica design was derived from the Chevy Cavalier's J-car platform. Sunbird, of course, is Cavalier's Pontiac cousin.
Looked like Donald Rumsfeld trying out the seats.
Thank you for the new GM footage! Great to see the old Chevrolet road test. They kept making upgrades on this car over its life time.
They did! It really wasn't that bad. A friend of mine had one with a 4 speed automatic. It was ok
I really dig that drawer-style glove compartment. Seems like that design could hold more and made everything more accessible. I wonder why that didn't catch on more.
How many mice were killed and skinned to make the seat covers?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
around 8,300 per car
lol
Funniest shit I read all day lmao
really helped Detroit's rodent problem at the time.
I had a 1990 Chevrolet corsica. It was an ok car. Comfortable seats, decent ride/handling, and good mpg about 27 on the highway. Otherwise tachometer stopped working at times, water hose bust, and ball joints were bad. I began to wonder if the dealer rolled the numbers back, but GM did at least during the 1990s had issues with electrical, cooling, and suspension systems.
One of my best friends bought one of those when he first got married back in 1989, and he loved it! It really was a well-proportioned and inexpensive car for the up-and-coming Yuppie back in the day.
The glove box drawer is a great idea, they should bring that back
Yes. It's perfect for catching the vomit when looking at the interior.
@@Mr_Chris77 Lmao
@@Mr_Chris77 Oh my god that's too good! LMAO!! Also I would think this drawer over time would become lose and I bet it squeaked and rattled and would slide open and close every time you left the line and stopped in traffic.
I had a 1995 Corsica and it was the best car I owned back when I got it in 2001. I put 113K mostly trouble-free miles in over 7 years (far more than any of my other cars before), I still miss it after trading it in on a 2009 Mazda 3. And I miss it even more than my 2012 stick-shift Fusion I used to have.
When I was little, our family car was a 1995 Corsica, with the 3.1 V6 if I remember correctly. My parents bought it in 2001 about a year before I was born. It had no A/C (which is an essential in summer in Mississippi), the head liner was held up with thumb tacks, and the seats looked like a cat threw a temper tantrum on them. I have 4 older siblings, and all of them used it as their "first" car. As I grew older, the car had more issues, the most major being a blown head gasket when my oldest brother was driving to work. Years after, the radio went out, the rear windows stopped working, it went through a hailstorm, a leak brought water to the front passenger floorboard, a massive hole on the dash over the gauge cluster, and probably a few other minor issues I can't remember from the top of my head. Even through all of the abuse it went through, it had over 250K miles and still ran strong.
Then, three years ago, my father sold it to our neighbors for $900. Not even one week later, my neighbors were t-boned in that car by a Ford Expedition that ran a red, and that was the end of that little POS car. Ever since, I've never seen another Corsica.
Nice of Lee Iacocca to review this heap.
Holy shit guys, the optional gauge cluster is complete!!!
Unfortunately he finds the look "cramped" lol
@@soundseeker63 We need a John Davis Top 100 Instrument Clusters list.
I used to have a 91 Corsica and had it many years overall it was a good car
My 1st car i bought off showroom floor.Great car
As nitpicky as reviewers get about current cars, it's good to remember what POS's cars were as recently as this one, and how positively they were reviewed then. Nowadays, this would be the Yugo of cars.
wonder what the will say about you in another 35 years, Davey!
What? But the tape deck had AUTO REVERSE...just look at the deck, it says it right on there! That's worth at least a few grand.
I recall lots of paint peeling issues on these appliance-like cars. The taurus sure was a lot more appealing than this dated clunker at the time.
The EPA had required new paint formulas. Some took longer than others to get it right. Chrysler and GM took the longest. That's why so many of their cars had the signature burnt/fade area on hoods, roofs, and trunks.
A friend who did body work told me GM started using fewer coats on many of their less costly models around this time. Unless you were an expert in auto paint, and had an old and new model side by side, you couldn't tell the difference when new. But as they aged it faded a lot faster.
I never thought anything of these cars when they were new. To me, they were "whatever" cars. But the 5 door hatchback I remember being around - it's an interesting idea! This review makes me appreciate that body style a bit more. As they said, you barely notice the difference between this and the regular sedan. One thing I thought was weird on these was how part of the back door formed the edge of the rear wheel well, rather than having a piece of the quarter panel between the door and the wheel. I don't know why they did that.
Cheap! That is why.
Got one for $150 back in 1998, had 187,000 miles on it. Would not idle, 2.8 V-6 with the 3-speed automatic. Cleaned the idle air control valve, and with working A/C that car got us through anything until 316,000 miles six years later. It was quite rusty, and then one day the engine simply shut off, no noise, nothing. Done. Yes, the car felt and looked incredibly cheap inside, but rode well and did its needed duties for us. Only needed a battery, brakes and tires over the time we had it. Duct tape was our friend too to re-affix things in the interior!
Epoxy would be helpful and maybe super glue. Anything to tack these cheap GM interiors back together.

“Pedal modulation”
Terms only a race car driver know.

My mom had 1990 Corsica from 1998 till 2007. It was a great car, I miss it , if I see
A clean one cheap I’m gonna get it.
My dad had an 89 Tempest LE 2.8Ltr. That thing was a beast and at the time actually pretty powerful. Glad I got to drive it for the time I did.
The Citation reborn!!!!!!!! Yes, that's right. When the Beretta & Corsica debuted in the spring of 1987, they were late replacements for the Citation, which had been dropped after '85.
Yep! As a matter of fact, it was shown as a Citation in 1986... But Chevrolet wanted to avoid the stigma of the Citation and renamed it the Corsica. Also... these were Chevrolet's version of the N-Car, best known as the Grand Am, Cutlass Calais and Somerset by Buick.
Chevy tried this again for the Malibu maxx. Also didnt sell
@@akshunjaxon604 and rebodied it and called it Malibu... GM never learned anything
I miss the old Motorweek because they took all the "Precautionary" measures before testing vehicles on a strip like "flashing the brights twice" and discussing random nonsense with a Motorweek "co-worker" at the window of the vehicle just before launching the car. Very important areas they cover there !!!
I really miss this body style. My mom had a 5-door 1985.5 Escort when I was little, and my first car was a Subaru GL Turbo liftback. I swear that Subaru and this car share the same rear glass.
I rented Corsica's all the time when I'd travel to Florida in the 80s and 90s. Never a problem with any of them, and if you had a 6-cylinder, they were pretty quick for the time.
If equipped with the auto and 6 cylinder, made for relaxed highway crusing.
Had 89 Brettia gt with 3.1 and a 5 speed ran 200k still ran after I sold it
Nice. Just bought a 90 Indy Beretta GT 5 speed. 107k miles, great condition. Finally mechanically restored it.
Man, they just don't make them like this anymore.
Thank goodness.
😂😂
Had new in 1988. Bought for wife. I believe she like the car. Nova was being made via/Toyota. I wanted that and she wanted this!
I saw a Chevy Brettea a year ago it was a red one and it was in really good shape so obvious the owner takes really good care of it, as for the Chevy Corsica I saw one two months ago( it was the sedan version) and again it was in good shape.
I've seen a few Corsicas in South Carolina occasionally.
@Dom's Garage wow! I live in Cope.
I live in Toronto, Canada. I rarely see Taurus', acclaim's, and Corsicas anymore. Meanwhile 1992 to 1996 Camrys and 1990 to 1993 Honda accords are still everywhere.
This car looks so solidly built and rattle free. Those switches look awesome.

I had a 96 Corsica and I didn't appreciate it at the time but looking back it was a awesome nice car that I probably wouldn't mind driving to this day. Always wished it was a Beretta when I had it lol

I had a beretta back in 1989 it was my first car when I was 18 or 19 loved that car it had the 3 liter v6 sort of similar to this Corsica
waltervila33 It had a 2.8 liter V6. I had one too. Same year and the color was Light Driftwood.
Andyco79 you’re right the GTZED had the 3 litre engine
@@waltervila33 1990 models forward replaced the 2.8 with a 3.1L V6, optional on base and standard on GT. The GTZ had the HO Quad-4 engine with a Getrag 5-speed manual standard. But it could be optioned with the GT's 3.1L V6 for buyers wanting a 4-speed automatic trans.

@@halohunter5217 Back in the day, my Mom had a 1992 Plymouth Acclaim. That model camd out in 1989. The build quality was so much better. Same with the Ford Tempo. Much better built car.
I see you everywhere on this car shit! Hahaha .. anyways.. I agree. These cars were a joke. Test drove a Beretta 5 speed. What a piece of JUNK!
@@halohunter5217 Toyota and Honda made quality cars in 1989. It's no excuse for GM.
The Corsica was supposed to be GM's sporty "European-inspired" family car, and they actually even sold it in Europe for a while. But you can really see how the corporate bean counters took their toll on it, with the cheapness of the controls and materials. It also had an ungainly muffler that hanged down awkwardly below the rear bumper, and very poor quality paint that started peeling after just a few years.
I had an 89' 5 speed 4 door for my first car. Gold on gold with the 2.8 engine. The seatbelts in the doors was so stupid.
Its how they got around the laws on requiring passive restraint, i.e. a air bag. Since no air bag installed, they had to put in the door mounted seat belts. I remember some early 90's Toyota's and Honda's had those seat belts on tracks that would roll up when the door was closed. But you still had to put on the lap belt part. I always thought that was silly because if you forgot the lap belt and got into an accident, then you would slip forward and possibly out of the shoulder belt and probably get a nasty road rash on your neck or face if you were lucky from the belt. When all cars were finally required to install airbags these silly automatic seat belts went away.
I had a almost identical one that I bought new as a commuter car.
Held up very well on a 175 mile per day round trip.
Never failed to start or left me stranded.
Only thing that killed it was being T-Boned by a Suburban pulling out of a gas station.
Had almost 300 K miles.
Certainty not the greatest car built but it did its job...
I remember renting these on several occasions from AVIS back in the early 90s. I never minded them, they were solid, basic transportation.
Those seat belts look annoying 🤔
Could you please post the '87 sedan test soon?
That 16 second quarter mile with the 5 speed was genuinely surprising. A little tuning work and you could totally get a sub 15 second car out of that.
I remember moving to the U.S in 96 and these things along with berettas and luminas were EVERYWHERE

I've always considered Toyota, for all its vaunted reliability, to be among the most appliance-like of automakers. Driving a washing machine would be more exciting.
The rear looks a lot like Renault 25.
The design wasn't so terrible but the interior plastics looked (and sounded) cheaper than the interior of those driveable toy cars for kids.
Recycled kids toys was probably not that far off the mark! lol $10k start price minus sales tax, dealer margin, manufacturer margin and overheads and that leaves not a lot spent on the materials of the car its self!
They contracted their interiors with Fisher-Price and Mattel (Toy companies) and it showed. Crap.
I own one of these in turquoise, it’s a rare car. Saved it from scrap for $400. I think they look great
Nice to see Noam Chomsky trying out cars for a change.

Akshun Jaxon what do you mean 'used to'? "New GM" is still full of bean counters that design cars like shit. They are just chinese now.
They've been running that conpany into the ground since the mid 70s. Still doing so to this day.
I remember sitting in one of the Corsica's sister cars, the Beretta, back in the day. I looked at the salesperson and asked him if the price is less because it says "Corsica" on the dash. He fired back immediately as if it happened a lot, "it's a rarer so it costs more". Awesome QC Chevy! 🙄 Hell, even the dealer missed it! 😔 🤯 Oh, and I'm sorry, that rear end is NOT attractive. Neither then, nor now imo.
I personally like the retro shape, but it's not exactly good looking
LOL!
my mom had a green one back in 2001 haha. drove us to school, but hers was newer and with the 3.1l (96' LT model) in green color. it had that chevy muffler distinct sound lol.
I saved a 1990 Corsica Hatchback LT 3.1 base automatic with power locks from getting crushed when I was 16 in January of this year. It’s a beautiful car and so distinctive from any other on the road. Being a 29 year old car it holds up quite well, the3.1 isn’t the most reliable and it needs some maintenance but I love it to pieces and hope to keep it garaged and in perfect condition, as it is quite clean for a fwd GM of the era. There’s next to no rust on it and the turquoise paint is perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome than to purchase that Corsica and save it from becoming scrap metal
A totally decent car, I drove a 2.2 5 speed a lot and it was totally adequate, handled not bad. And some time in a 3.1, good motor, lots of midrange grunt, good mpg, cheap interior but a lot of stuff was back then at this price.
Yeah. Too bad they contracted their interior with Fisher-Price.
Definitely a disposable car. It might be good during the time you were making payments. But after 4-5 years too many were suffering the death of a hundred little problems. Second or third owners bought them because they were cheap. But dumped them as soon as they were looking at a repair bill that cost as much as the car.
Well said. Gm’s cars from the 70s lasted longer. Not the major components, those needed fixing for sure, but the hundred little problems that the 80s gm cars had. Maybe when they lightened them up for cafe standards they put in lightweight mexican parts.
I drove one of these in the early nineties and it was actually quick I enjoyed the thing.
