1990 Vauxhall Cavalier GSi review from UK and Ireland
"Truly amazing lovely machine.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One month after buying the car, the idle speed control valve stopped working.
Drivers seat has worn after getting in and out.
Both rear arches rusted out.
Problems with the cars computer
General comments?
I'm a 19year old male and this has been my dream car since I can remember.
The performance is absolutely superb.
The interior is spotless for the year of the vehicle, and compared to the new vauxhall's it has not seemed to age.
I had the car off the road for a month and spent around a thousand pound on restoring it.
People that do not know these cars think I have done all sorts of mods to it and they can't believe it's a standard car.
I have had many races with boy racers around my age and they're all shocked at how quick it is.
Standard the car is 150 break horse power.
Performance wise all I have done is removed the catalyst and changed the exhaust.
I love these cars and seriously think vauxhall should build a new version.
