The Car we miss - Opel Corsa

|THE DEN|

Founded in 1899 in Russelsheim, Germany, by Adam Opel, this company is now a part of the General Motors group, yet it was still regarded as a German car. The emblem itself was very

German, depicting a lightning blitz from the First and Second World Wars, which was now a motif on every Opel automobile.

From every nut and bolt, the Opel Corsa was a pure German engineering marvel. Due to the superb build quality of this 100-year-old brand, even older cars showed virtually any

indications of wear and tear. Even the Power Steering oil was life-sealed, which was a major plus in terms of quality back then.

Wraparound curves and a lofty posture add to the appeal of this compact car. With Vauxhall, Holden, and Chevrolet, this car has a strong European appearance. Solidly constructed, having a substantial appearance and a strong structure. It's a one-ton automobile with a solid drive that plants nicely on the road. With all four power windows, central locking, and leather

seats, this car has a lot of goodies for a car from the early 2000s. A restricted OBD is built into the feature list of the 1.6 Litre models.

The engine is quick and quiet, with enough of power and torque. The 1.6-liter engine produces incredible power and acceleration. Amazing boot capacity (500+ litres) that allows

you to load a lot of bulky stuff for a long trip. Electronics that are foolproof will provide a trouble-free operation and a longer period of error-free service. The car had several Bosch parts that are of excellent quality.

To begin with, the Opel Corsa was rather large for five passengers. The interior ambience was particularly calming thanks to the light beige dashboard tone mixed with black lining. The plastic quality was excellent, and the finish was flawless in every way. The chairs are ergonomically designed, with head rests (only for front seats) and back adjustability. To

reduce glare, the instrument cluster can also be dimmed.

The Maruti Suzuki Esteem and the Ford Ikon were direct competitors for the Opel Corsa. It had a fantastic ride quality and was available with two petrol engines: 1.4 and 1.6 litres.

The Corsa never achieved the same level of popularity as the Esteem or the Accent, but it did have its own fan base. We miss it because of the quality, fit, and finish revolution it brought to

the Indian vehicle market.
