1988 Vauxhall Senator cdi review from UK and Ireland
"Rapid luxury saloon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is 18 yrs old and when I got it it was almost perfect, slight faults include crack in rear n/s lens (now rectified) faulty rad cap (now rectified) slight rust on rear arch not seen when door shut (a job for summer) and electric suspension ride hight light stays on because rear shocks have been converted to non electric.
General comments?
Amazingly quick for its size once moving (it is a heavy car to get off line) it will see off so called performance cars with ease (bye bye golf gti)
Supremely comfortable and equipped to the hilt electric everything inc heated mirrors and washer jets to name two the list is endless.
Heavy on fuel a light right foot may see 30 on motorway, but sporty driving or round town between 10 -20 mpg.
