1990 Vauxhall Senator review from UK and Ireland
"Big, comfortable and fast- but rusts a lot"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only that the original clutch cable snapped after 10 years of use!
General comments?
In the 5 years I have owned this car, it has been completely reliable.
Performance wise it's a big car and really is most at home on the motorways. It tends to wallow somewhat in corners, but, when pushed, can attain a serious licence losing speed.
Its definitely thirsty! Too thirsty with the present price of fuel (around town, on short journeys, I only got 15mpg. Despite renewing lots of consumables etc etc, I found this was about normal.
Its major fault is rust- and they just rust everywhere, the rear arches first, seals then bulkhead.
