Advantages: Small and econimical

Disadvantages: Steams up in wet weather big time.

My wife bought a Cora 1.4 2 door injection 5 years ago.

It has been a very good car. Fuel economy is very good and with the two back split folding seats folded down you can fit two mountain bikes and a plastic dustbin in the back !

Some problems have been the sort or service we have had from Vauxhall dealers. Every time we have taken it in for service Vauxhall have either over charged us or taken a lot longer than they said and left us without a car. We then reverted to a local garage for parts and labour who were much more friendly and useful.

The car is quick, nippy with good handling. On wet days it does steam up allot due to the small roof space this is something to watch especially in recent days.

The exhaust on our car rattles on the rear suspension bar if you fill the boot. The weight bends the suspension lowering it close to the exhaust and at certain revs rattles like mad on the suspension. Even after several exhausts this problem has not been fixed.
