1989 Opel Kadett LS review from Finland
"Nice car for summertime"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brakes totally replaced at 230000 km.
Exhaust system replaced at 243000 km.
General comments?
Reliable car in summertime.
Very economical car and cheap parts.
Nice performance, for a car of this type.
Very large trunk.
Soft, but still uncomfortable suspension.
Not a very good car at winter time. It starts usually well, but sometimes it is nearly impossible to get inside, because the doors and door locks freeze. I had to break a window once to get inside.
