1997 Vauxhall Monterey Diamond review from UK and Ireland
"Great car, pity they stopped making it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fan belt loose when bought.
General comments?
Big comfortable car bought purely to get through the bad snow of a Scottish winter. Love it so much I use it all year round instead of my other car (Citroen Picasso).
Not the quickest 4WD or the most economical, but it does what you want it to do, when you want it to.
