I have a Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8 LSI 1993 model. I am so much in love with my car, that after it had been stolen about ten years ago and recovered, having been stripped of everything that could be taken off it, I wouldn't let the insurance company write it off. I actually rescued it on its way to the breakers yard, had it all fixed up with the small payout from the insurance company, and it still serves me well!
The body is a bit rusty in parts, but I have never had any trouble with starting it or its power - OK, the acceleration could be better, but it doesn't need to be on the country roads around here. It cruises comfortably at any given speed, as it is a hatchback hence it is a good, reliable workhorse and it came with me to France where I live. I know it won't last forever, but I couldn't consider changing it until it drops to bits!
