1993 Vauxhall Cavalier Colorado review from UK and Ireland
"I would not buy another one!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I did have quite a few problems with this car.
The Master cylinder failed on the car as I was leaving the motorway (Not fun at 70 MPH)
The clutch needed replacing at 60,000 Miles.
The head gasket blew at 82,000 miles (Which Cost £800 to be fixed at a Vauxhall Dealer)
General comments?
When I bought the car I was very happy with it, but as the mileage started to creep up more and more problems were arising with the car.
I kept the car fully serviced with my local Vauxhall garage which were expensive and their staff have no idea of what customer service is!
When the Head gasket blew on the car it cost me £800 to get it fixed once again at a Vauxhall dealer.
When I got the car back I decided to sell it because I could not afford the maintinance costs as they are high when something goes wrong.
