1992 Vauxhall Cavalier GLi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dash board lights failed.
Brake light switch broke.
Rear number plate light, sidelight and headlight bulbs blew.
CV joint broke.
Lumbar adjustment on drivers seat broke.
Rattles come from just about everywhere.
Jerky gear change.
Height adjustment on steering broken.
General comments?
I have owned a Cavalier before and had no problems. This 2.0 GLi has to be one of the worst cars I have owned. The rattles and creaks drive me mad on long journeys. The steering wheel height is very uncomfortable, resembles driving a bus. The stereo and speakers are very poor. On the good side fuel economy is good, 300+ miles from a full tank.
