1985 Opel Monza review from Netherlands
"A very special super coupe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to change batteries 2 times.
Exhaust is broken.
Dashboard lights failing.
Seat is hanging over to the left.
General comments?
The car looks and sounds great. The first time I saw and heard the car was when my dad came home with it, to take me for a ride. Instantly, I fell in love with the looks en the sound of the six-cylinder.
It's big and heavy, but can go very fast trough corners and has a great acceleration if you use the kick down.
My dad wanted to sell the car, but I didn't, so now we will keep em in garage until I graduate from university, and then I will get as a present! Then I want it fixed and maybe I'm gonna tune it. The car most go faster and lower to the asphalt. And the seats of the Pullmann interior have to be replaced by Recaro's.
