1994 Vauxhall Cavalier LSi 5 door review from UK and Ireland
"A value for money used buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake discs have worn out quickly (20,000 miles).
Car occasionally loses coolant suddenly, which has nearly led to overheating (3 times since 88,000 miles).
Some of the front near-side suspension came loose (bushes at 70,000 miles).
Thermostat went at about 85,000 miles.
General comments?
The car is almost the ideal size - not too big, but interior space is adequate.
Nothing serious has broken, and the car has never failed to start.
Paintwork looks fresh after 93,000 miles and 6 1/2 years. Very few stone chips. Design looks newer than it is.
Overall the car is good value, and parts are cheap and accessible.
