1985 Opel Monza Comfort review from Netherlands
"When petrol is for free... I will look for one again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Due to neglect by the previous owner, several petrol leaks had to be repaired.
Seat's heating wasn't working anymore.
Small oil leak (oil pump).
A new clutch was installed.
Electric powered mirror (left) wasn't working 100% anymore. Mirror heating right defect.
General comments?
This was my second Monza. The 2.5i was not really powerful enough, but made the same sound as the 3.0i I once owned.
Small 'electric' things didn't work 100%.
This was a rare model with LCD dashboard and lots of options. I liked it a lot, until petrol prices started to overtake my love for this rare coupe.
Hardly any rust and very reliable. And a very nice smell from the pullmann interior. A great car!
