1993 Vauxhall Cavalier 4x4 Turbo from UK and Ireland - Comments

"I waited for 12 years to buy one!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Blew head gasket & split cylinder head.

N/S/F ABS sensor failed.

Brake servo burst.

Transfer box failed at 117000.

Retains 22mpg on a good day.

General comments?

Who cares about the above... It does 155mph+, 0-60 in under 6 seconds and has 250bhp+. Where else can so much speed, comfort and power be had for so cheap and yet remain as nondescript as a 1990 1.6 saloon. Its the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing.

Sounds nice, I'm sure it would do 60 in under 6 seconds and has 250 bhp. Their also a lovely looking car. But standard one is 204 bhp is'nt it, not sure about 0-60.

If you've tuned it 250BHP is possible. But it would need serious work to get the 0-60 time down to under 6 seconds.

The transmission fails on these with the standard 204 bhp, so I would start praying if I were you.

The Vauxhall 4wd system is specifically excluded from the RAC's used car warranties. I believe it's the only manufacturer specific exclusion in the whole warranty which says it all really.
