1990 Opel Kadett GL review from Serbia
"Not (too) bad a car, even after 18 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Commutator at 138000.
The fuel injector at 145000.
General comments?
Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad car, it's just too old. It was probably great 18 years ago.
I'm not sure if it's time to renew the suspensions, or the car is just simply uncomfortable. It feels every bump on the road, which can be very annoying on longer trips.
Of course it is incredibly rust prone. Every few weeks I detect a new rust area.
I had a few situations when I could not start it in the winter time.
Despite all the annoying things, it has never ever let me down on the road.
