1994 Vauxhall Cavalier SRi review from UK and Ireland
"Nice 'sporty' family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crankshaft speed sensor.
Brake warning light keeps coming on.
Water reservoir level light on, even though level is fine.
Both front wheel bearings.
General comments?
Acceleration is sometimes hesitant, especially when you need it (at roundabouts etc).
Performance OK apart from that. Brakes good.
Not as great at handling/performance as some cars, but after all this is a family car.
Apart from the above problems, I am happy with the car.
