The Mini tank (Small Skoda Octavia) + performence. Review on Opel Corsa Sail 1.6

A real good car, I am owing this car(Opel corsa Sail 1.6) since last 5 years , it never let me down for a single day.. Just routine engine oil airfiler change once a year and drive.

More over it is a mini tank, once an Alto came and hit me from the back while I was waiting near Mandovi Motors signal(Bangalore South) .. the poor guy lost its bumper, headlights and bonnet, and left me one single scratch on my bumper paint.. thanks god to europian design of 15Miles/hr crash protection bumper. Those who in doubt try hitting a corsa from behind..... :-)

I bett once you drive this car you will never like Maruti/Santro. Only bit was Purchease price was bit high around 6 Lacs for top end version. But it worth .. every bit you will feel the German technology.

Now the features and plus points:A bigger size engine 1.6 L(Larger than Honda Citi). All the goodies, power steering, central locking, AC/heater/ Light switch on reminder bla bla... It will always give you a feel of a big car. Unfortunately in India people looks only outer casing.. not the muscles inside.. thus those maruti cars are still on road. Dashboard and interiior plastic every where the German sense of quality speaks, no comparision with any indian car.

It has got internal micro processor controlled safety features, e.g. all doors will get unlocked and engine will switch off automatically in case of a accident. Bucket seat with lumber support and the auto retractable adjustable seatbelts.60:40 split Rear seat when folded one can carry a bycicle in it. I drove it to Mysore, Ooty, Mangalore, Coorg, Kerala.. never had any issue with long drive.. rather this car is designed it for long drive... thus one can call it as a mini skoda octavia... power with similar hardy structure. Milage I am getting 11-12 in city with AC on and 17+ on Highway.
