Although it has enjoyed good sales success in years past, the Corsica's popularity has declined thanks to an indifferent quality record and the arrival of more up-to-date competitors.Chevrolet lists the Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique, Chrysler Cirrus/Dodge Stratus and the Altima as the Corsica's main competition. Car for car, the Corsica doesn't measure up to any of them - until you factor pricing into the equation. Then this small sedan becomes more attractive, with a manufacturer's suggested retail price that's the lowest of the bunch. Also, both Corsica engines are tough, with a respectable capacity for the abuse most of us dish out from time to time. Add Chevy's 24-hour roadside assistance program and you have a car that should satisfy your basic transportation needs at minimal cost. |
