1993 Vauxhall Cavalier Turbo 4x4 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
You name it:
Cam belt snapped after dealer had changed at 36k miles. Cost £2000+. Luckily part was under warranty.
Tyres - all four must be replaced at the same time £600+.
Clutch cable.
Front discs and pads.
Core plugs.
Exhaust.
Various mountings/bushes.
General comments?
I had the car for 2 years and in that time it gave me so much pleasure but cost me dearly.
Outperforms Cosworths without chipping.
Rare sight.
Leather interior superb.
Main dealers seemed to think that because I drove a top of the range Cavalier then I would pay for anything repairing. They seemed to find things wrong at every service. I don't think I had a service that cost less than £400.
Be warned - lovely car, thirsty on fuel 26mpg at best, heavy on servicing.
