1994 Chevrolet Corsica problems
The Chevrolet Corsica (named after Corsica, France) is a front-wheel drive compact car that was produced by Chevrolet from 1987 until 1996. The Corsica was built upon the L-body platform. It shared the L-body with the 2-door Beretta, and the rebadged revival of the Pontiac Tempest which was essentially the same car, but was only sold in Canada. The Corsica came in two styles and four trims. Sold initially only as a 4-door sedan, it was also available as a 5-door hatchback from model years 1989 until 1991. Corsicas were built alongside the Beretta by both the Wilmington Assembly in Delaware and Linden Assembly in New Jersey.
Year-to-year changes
1987–1989
The Corsica was first sold as a fleet car to rental agencies and large companies in 1987, prior to mainstream release. The Corsica and Beretta were the second best-selling passenger cars in America in calendar year 1988, right behind the Ford Escort. Much of the suspension components were borrowed from the J-body Chevrolet Cavalier, and the chassis was an extension of that of the J-body, but modeled with similar proportions to the N-body. The L-body platform however, was engineered by Chevrolet rather than Oldsmobile. The car was equipped with either the 2.0 L TBI OHV I4 from the Cavalier, or the 2.8 L MPFI OHV V6 from the Chevrolet Celebrity. The base Corsica's door handles were colored silver, while the Corsica LT/LTZ had black-colored handles. Some earlier models had a column shifter with a handbrake between the front seats, an uncommon configuration for most compact cars of the time. A 5-door hatchback model was introduced for 1989, as was an LTZ performance package that included many suspension parts from the Beretta. A rare XT trim included all the performance parts from the LTZ trim as well as a leather interior, special body kit and spoiler package designed for GM by a third party supplier.
1990
The base model Corsica was dropped, leaving the LT and LTZ. Both engines offered were increased in displacement. The Corsica now either used the same 2.2 L 4-cylinder engine and 3-speed automatic transmission as the Cavalier, or the 3.1 L V6 and 3-speed automatic from the Lumina. Minor changes were made to the interior, mostly around the driver controls.

When did they stop making the Chevy Corsica?

GM discontinued the Corsica and the Chevrolet Beretta after the 1996 model year, due to safety standards in 1997 that would have required a total redesign of these cars, and competition from the similarly sized redesigned Chevrolet Cavalier for compact car sales.

Hey there! I just wanted to share my experience with my car. I actually got it as a temporary ride with 194,000 miles on it, but once I started using it for my pizza delivery job, I was pleasantly surprised. Despite the high mileage, it's been running great and has definitely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this Chevy to anyone who's considering it. Even now, at 197,000 miles, it's still going strong!
-
I had a 1994 grey Chevy Corsica that I bought for $1500 in 2003. I loved that car, but unfortunately, I didn't know how to take care of cars back then, so I had to junk it. 😥 If I could find one, I would definitely buy it again, especially if it's dark grey with red pin stripes on the sides and grey inside, except for the red leather seats!
-
This car requires a lot of maintenance and has been a complete nightmare. It has been in the shop once a month, which is extremely frustrating. Although I got it for a cheap price, I now understand why. I am very disappointed with this GM product and will not be purchasing another one. I would even consider buying a Chrysler instead, which is a sad statement. While I acknowledge that other GM products may be different, I am not willing to take the risk. I have kept copies of my repair bills.

A good looking and fairly comfortable car that is utterly reliable once you sort out any issues, such as the head gasket leak in the 2.2 4-cylinder engine. As someone who has been driving American cars for 40 years, I can attest that this car is the most economical, achieving 35 mpg on runs.

Hi there! I noticed that you recently purchased a car from a rental agency with 25,000 miles on it. It's great to hear that the car has been solid for 200,000 miles! The 3.1 V6 engine is definitely a great choice, providing a good combination of pick-up and gas mileage. Additionally, the interior is very comfortable for its size and class. While the car may not be the most stylish (white and square), it's still a reliable choice. Although there were a few break-jobs and wheel bearing problems over the 10 years, the maintenance costs were lower than most domestic cars. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Other years of Chevrolet Corsica
Are you having problems with your 1994 Chevrolet Corsica?
Aric Ebert 2025-01-01
Hi there! From what you've shared, it sounds like your vehicle has been pretty reliable. The only issue you mentioned was needing a new AC compressor at 115,000 miles. Overall, it seems like you've taken good care of your car!
Kenton Jacobi 2024-10-21
We purchased the car when it was one year old from a rental company. Although we experienced some wind noise that we were unable to solve, we added our own cover after discovering that the radiator hose was poorly routed and wearing through. The car goes through brakes quickly, but we have the 3.1 V6 auto with a locking torque converter, which gets an honest 30MPG on the highway. The engine is great and reliable, although we have had to replace the alternator, torque lock switch, intake manifold gaskets (for oil leaks), and three fuel pumps over the past 10 years. Unfortunately, the AC has finally given out.
Melany Fisher 2024-09-22
I've had my car for less than a year, and it's been one of the best cars I've ever had. I absolutely love the way it drives and it can handle what most normal cars can't. It's one of the first cars that can keep up with me. Performance-wise, it's a dream come true. Although the body could look better, it's in great shape and I wash and clean it up at least twice a week (I work in auto detailing). The front of the car has a unique shape, but the rest of it is fine. Overall, I really love this car!
Timmy Johnson 2024-06-26
I think the dealer sold me a lemon on purpose because I was young and inexperienced. Over the course of four years, I had to replace the starter, alternator, brakes, power window, and the AC went out. All of this happened in just four years. Unfortunately, this experience has left me with a negative impression of Chevy and I will not be purchasing or renting one again.
Doris Bednar 2024-06-25
Congratulations on owning your first car! It's amazing that you still have it after all these years, and it's great to hear that it has been pretty reliable for you. Although you've had to replace a few parts recently, it's impressive that the car has survived being a rental car and your teenage years. The repairs have been inexpensive, which is a bonus. With just under 90k miles, it seems like your car still has a lot of life left in it!
