1993 Vauxhall Cavalier LS review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap, but Dull Rep car buy a Primera"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Difficult to know where to start:
Water pump went, which snapped the cam belt.
Fan cut in switch went.
Coolant Reservoir tank leaked and need to be replaced.
Head Gasket Went.
Dash bulbs failed.
Radio Liquid Crystal Display display faded.
Paint work faded.
Clutch cable snapped.
Hub Caps disintegrated.
Outer Petrol Cap snapped.
Smell of Petrol in the cabin, dealer charged £40 and "tightened a few hoses"
General comments?
Uninspiring and totally dull to drive. The steering is far too light with no involvement for the driver whatsoever. Taking roundabout'ss and country lanes in the wet at anything like a reasonable pace is nothing short of scary. It difficult to gauge where the car will end up next.
The magnitude of problems I had diminished any pleasure I may have gained from it.
It was dull to drive, dull to look at and you looked dull in it. Getting shot of it was the best thing I ever did and I made a promise to myself to only ever own German or Japanese cars.
