I second this. Ive been driving this car for 7 years now. Yes ive looked into getting something else but nothing fits. This is truly...for me...the best car ever
Greetings from Brazil. We love the Chevrolet Montana, as it was called here. And we, too, miss this car. For some reason, we still have the second generation available new here, but it is a crappy car, only people who need a workhorse buy one today. Ford stopped selling the Courier here about 10 years ago, without any good reason, because it was a good car too. But today we still have some options, Fiat Strada and VW Saveiro are the best ones here.
I have a 2009 model 72500km .I bought it new and have only had so much pleasure from driving it. I have looked at the market and there is nothing to replace it. Long live Corsa Gamma
When I was shopping around for one I also noticed that they're actually going up in Value. They're actually hold their value better than most of the other cars in this segment 👌🏾
My 2004 1.4i just tipped the 350 000 km mark and just recently also replaced water the water pump and radiator. Shes a trooper. Goes anywhere and everywhere
Loved the vid! Ours is currently sitting at 312000km, also 1.7 dti. I got 652km from a 95% full tank driving in jhb on beyers naude in peak hour traffic! These little bakkies are proper gems in RSA!
It's worse than that, VW simply does not build Saveiro in right-hand drive and the costings to do so make it unreasonably expensive. Now if only VWSA could modify an existing Vivo platform...
@@fabriziojuliancaldara3950 he said that looks like a polo, not that "is" a polo...... south africans dosen't know what a VW Gol is, he used the closest aproximation, and the last version of VW gol looks like a mini polo, so he's not wronh
Dropped mine with eibach springs and 17inch mags. All black body parts color coded. Its a beut and I get offers all over so often. Will never sell this icon. 15 years 91000km STRONG
My 1.4L 2009 model just done 410 000kms. Jus thad a head gasket let go at 220 000kms. Very little issue with it. Deleted the cat and I ended up saving almost 2L per 100kms in fuel and a little bit more power. After all this distance it still hardly uses any oil. One issue however with all of these vehicles is the keyway on the crank where the crank pully slides on starts to ovalize over time especially when you get close to 400 000kms or there about. This obviously results in the cam timing starting to lag and the longer you drive the worse it gets eventually it feels like you are driving a 500cc. After spending R36K on replacing the lower control arms, bushings, cv joints, brake disks, gear linkage bushings I figured I might as well drop in a new engine. I travel A LOT of farm roads. I would say close to a third of the mileage was on farm roads. Solid bakkie. I love it.
I drive an NP200 regularly and a Corsa Utility semi-regularly, the Corsa is by far the better built and more comfortable vehicle. Diesel NP200 is nippy, economical and fun though, haven't driven a diesel Corsa yet.
Doesn't matter about the half ton bakkies bro , they are better and cheaper than the more expensive one tonners. Check the Toyota Hilux bakkie , everybody's dream bakkie but to freak g expensive
Greetings from Brazil. Love this little truck, we have a Corsa hatchback here, but the Montana (as the Utility's called here) is one of my dreams, I love its looks and versatility. And its reliability and toughness, well...the Corsa has never let us down in 15+ years of ownership, so I know how the Montana/Utility will be. 😆 Very nice review, thanks for sharing with us!
Awesome bakkies ,I still have mine 1.4i sport clocking in at 237000km + and still runs amazing. I think the water problem with these bakkies are common cause i also had that problem with mine. Thanks for a great video 👍
We own the 2013 Chevrolet 1.4 Utility, currently sitting on 177 000 km ... it's really nice to own utilities honestly, they not too big like those Amaroks and Rangers. They might sell way faster then the current bakkies on the market
I bought myself a 2004 Corsa C hatch after writing off a 2008 Corsa D in a hailstorm. After having experienced both these cars, I must say, the Corsa C is the best car I’ve ever owned
Bring back the opel corsa for sure ❤️ Great bakkie, bullet proof. We have a 2007 model that we bought brand new and last year (2020) it clocked 200 000km and still it feels like the day we got it
have my corsa utility 1.4, 2005, ive done Just over 130 000 kilometres currently standing at 344 562 down the hatch and not a single thing wrong withe the engine or gearbox. brilliant bakkie . but i think i got nailed with the fuel consumption. averages around 8.5 to 9km per litre.
I still love my 2005 1.4 Opel Corsa utility , its very nice with a free flow exhaust and a K&N air filter (Just for us youngsters that love a bit of noise ) 140k kilometers and not a single problem .
I’m in the fleet management business. The manufacturers all say that their vans (I.e. Vw caddy, Opel Combo) are replacement for these vehicles. I disagree completely; vans, a) have no street cred whatsoever, b) have no leisure use and c) are extremely expensive.
I have a 2008 Opel Corsa. Bought brand new in 2008 and still have it as a second car to my Fortuner. Must aggree. Was my best buy ever as a vehicle. Mine have 248 000km. I have the top of the range 1.8 petrol sport. It has electric windows. Steering wheel radio "buttons" aircon. Dual aiebags. I am just mentioning this as your review have the diesel version. The 1.8 actually had more of the overall features. Thanks for your review. I aggree. Best little bakkie ever.
Had the same issues. Water leak on water pump. And a fuel leak. Overall small issues. It stil going and driving as the day I bought it. Was never an opel fan. But this little bakkie changed my view of opel. Great product overall.
Thank you very much for this video. Please make more of similar videos of second-hand affordable cars that one can buy post covid-19. after all most of us cant afford these brand news costing north of R500k.
As much as I sympathise, I’m also jealous at the same time!. At least in South Africa you have the opportunity to buy the Nissan NP200 new and others like the Corsa utility used. I’m in the UK and unless you can find a Proton Jumbuck (only available from 2003-2007 I think), there are no options for anyone looking for a small pickup or Bakkie. I am a self employed window cleaner and have long since come to the conclusion that a small bakkie would be absolutely ideal for my work, much more suitable than a van like I currently have to use. The only option, other than the Proton, I have is the dropside version of the Fiat Doblo. These are available in the UK, but are too expensive for me new, and far too scarce used. There just doesn’t seem to be a market for this type of vehicle in the UK (otherwise there wouldn’t be so few of the Doblo dropside available). I have looked into the possibility of importing an NP200, but as far as I can find out, it is virtually impossible to import a vehicle from South Africa into the UK unless over 10 years old. This is a great pity, as South Africa is also RHD, so it would be much more convenient than getting used to a LHD (obviously not impossible though). I do also really fancy a Nissan 1400, not as a work vehicle (payload is too small), but just as a cool runaround with a set of retro alloy wheels. Hey ho, will just have to keep daydreaming!.
Such a great video Ciro. I agree to those words....”Bring back the Opel Corsa Utility, bring back the 1/2 tonner”. Why on earth are we forced to buy large bakkies when there’s a hungry market for the 1/2 tonners and what they have to offer.
Used to have this bakkie but sadly I had to sell it today because the bonnet would not open at all so the engine overheated driving home (yes the engine seized that's why I sold it) Anyway I really do miss this bakkie because it served me well through the years If anyone is looking to buy this bakkie I would definitely recommend it You'll love it
I have only found this channel recently. But a mate of mine and I were talking not long ago. About how we would love the polo ute that Brazil got. Branded as a vivo ute.
I can echo all you've just said... this little bakkie was a champion of the people, the interface between a company product and the payout, the family runaround, the mobile workshop, solid build quality and nice to drive. And then GM stepped in and messed up, as usual. Ai...Americans, sometimes, ai! There are a few bakkies in this class available today or coming soon, some not in SA and destination of the rest to be confirmed. 🥃, here's to hoping for more options than just the NP200 (which is not on same level as this Corsa was - just saying)! Cheers Ciro🥃
I owned two brand new Corsa Utilities in the space of 4 months. The first one crashed really well. Walked away without a scratch. They were the one of the best looking things ever. The Chevy replacements were hideous.
I own one. Man it's the best there is. Maintaince wise.fuel wise. Man its was built to last. It's just the best utility bakkie one can have. I love everything about it I mean everything.
Well said....I still don't understand why we don't have them new on the floor...This bakkie is in demand so much I want one as well but the owners don't wanna let go of them.
Tbh this generation Corsa is actually better than the newer one... It actually still looks good Inside and out to this day And all the engine options were great
On the 1.4 models they also lowered the gearing which meant Freeway speeds were annoying but it also meant it could carry heavy loads without struggling too much
You forgot airbags lol. We bought this bakkie in 2005 in the famous Granada Red metallic color which was a special order back then. We drove ours until it had 170 000km on the clock. Also had a water pump leak at 40 000 and computer error at 120 000 but other than that it was rock solid performer.
If I had the option to get one at comparative prices of that era but in today's prices... I would buy one without a second thaught. Prices are insane and a small utility bukkie is insane value for money. I WANT THEM BACK, I'LL BE ONE OF THE FIRST BUYERS
Lol Dieter must have gotten the cream of the crop. Check on market place and gumtree the amount of non runner diesel versions for sale. I own a 2009 1.4 model with just under 250 000km on the clock. I must admit it drives very solid still. But it's also my most unreliable vehicle ever owned, I rarely even drive it now. Engine wise the vehicle is tops but the electrics let's it down just like all other opels before it. I still prefer my Nissan 1400 above the Opel utility.
@Trent Jarred Mohan stay away lol, I had a hatch 1.6 sport, mother had this bakkie 1.4, all have had numerous costly electrical and mechanical issues, one even a cpu failure!
Actually Ciro it’s not a regular corsa chassis. Sure it’s based on the corsa but it uses the platform from the combo van that is stronger than the corsa platform. So in a nutshell it is but not quite
Forget another Opel bakkie, at least until Opel enters the Brazilian market. Right now it would be easier to place a bet on the 2nd generation of the Fiat Strada, even though at the moment it's only available in some LHD markets.
Cars built from the 2000s to 2010 were super super solid. All these new cars feels wobbly and unsure about what they are and the purpose they should serve
Fuel consumption is a nightmare on the petrol engines,I wanna get myself a polo,but in terms of relaibility👌🏽I give it a 10! But don’t get me wrong,I’m not selling mine ,I love it
The SA market is desperate for another cool bakkie like this. Imagine the possibilities!
Imagine I am building my own :Opel Corsa OPC mk1
Still loving my 2014 Chevrolet utility
Nissan tried and won us out with the NP200 ...but the cool factor of the NP200 is at 0% compared to THE CHAMP ...1400
Imagine a 2.0L normally aspirated rear wheel drive corsa
I think Ciro speaks for all of us in South Africa when he says bring back the half ton bakkie.🙌🏽
Just wanted to say hi from the Opel Combo ;)
Ayyyy
Opel bring out another small bakkie. I passed my drivers in your little bakkie:-)
Opel Combo could never come close to this bakkie, please bring back the utility
We need Opel Corsa Utility then we can consider your Combo
Bra Opel please bring back the utility 😢😢😢
Yep, I agree, General Motors really screwed us over when it took away the Utility from us.
I agree thousand %
We screwed GM over with our racist BEE laws. No wonder they couldn’t succeed in SA

This brings back so many memories!!! The Corsa 1.8 GSI 👏👏👏 still one of my most respected small cars ever!!!
I agree. I had the same, a 2005 model. What a lovely confident driving experience. Can’t find that feeling in the others cars I owned after that.

Its a segment in the market which Toyota and Isuzu does not cater for and has more potential according to me. Thanks Ciro.
Forget another Opel bakkie, at least until Opel enters the Brazilian market. Right now it would be easier to place a bet on the 2nd generation of the Fiat Strada, even though at the moment it's only available in some LHD markets.
We need a Nissan 1400 review as well
I’m 6.8feet and I sat comfortable in that bakkie.
Cars built from the 2000s to 2010 were super super solid. All these new cars feels wobbly and unsure about what they are and the purpose they should serve
Sounds like ford might bring back a small bakkie
And if im not mistaken vw makes one for the south american market
HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE DIETER PEY
