Gearing sucks on them. I remember the '01 sedan with the Brazilian 1.0L engine I used to drive once in a while, as it was the only car in the household before my parents got divorced.
On a sidenote, here they were rebadged as a Chevy way before the Corsa Utility got the same fate there in SA.
But anyway, seems like the GSi is your favorite version of the Corsa B, isn't it? This was the last one I spotted in my hometown, around 4 years ago.
