1990 Opel Vectra GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap Reliable Unit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No 2 Plug lead corroded causing misfire.
Starter solenoid replaced.
General comments?
No Rust anywhere.
Best handling tail-dragger I've driven.
Not the fastest car on the road, but one of the quickest, you will run out of balls before it runs out of grip. Very cheap car in NZ as it is not common except round Hawkes Bay, parts are expensive, but the dealership know which parts can be adapted from other models.
