| BHPian  |  Please say welcome to the new noob! Hi, This is Abhinav from Chennai. Never knew an India specific autombolie forum existed till I accidentaly stumbled here (Thanks to who else but Google!) Automobiles, Technology and Travelling are my interests (alphabetical order) I drive a Opel Corsa 1.4 which has clocked 35K kms from when I bought in in June 2003 thanks to extensive travelling in Himachal, Uttranchal and of late, the Southern Peninsula. Hoping to enjoy posting here  |

| BHPian | @hkanitkar Fuel Economy: I used to get around 13-14 kmpl in Gurgaon (with AC) ...After shifting to Chennai, it has dropped down to 9-10 (with AC)..Highway mileage is ~16-17 on a decent highway Maintenance: Frankly, I do not know why Opels got a bad name for high maintenance costs...The car does have its flaws, but this is definitely not one of them.... it needs a service every 10000kms unlike 5000 for most others.....Average paid service cost is >1000 Spare parts are cheap... I have had to buy (from what i remember the following) Failed A/C microswitch- 70/- Front Headlight full assembly and front bumper (Some idiot rammed his/her vehicle into my car while it was parked): 3000/- +3000/- Insurance covered approx 50% of it (50% depreciation on plastic parts) |

| BHPian | same with me -- i get around 13 - 14 in city. on highways she's absolute beauty to drive and gives around 18 kmpl - thats decent enough. BTW spare parts have become cheaper 2yrs back -- before that a single headlamp unit would have costed you a dear 6k - (i hav spent a hard 11k for pair of mirrors on an astra) but its the quality for which its worth paying for. |
