"A great performer at a reasonable price"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

About a year after we got the car something went wrong that kept making the car stall when you accelerated off the mark too quickly. Then about a year after that, the camshaft-timer went, and then after that, the starter motor went.

General comments?

The car has a really gutsy motor, although it is a bit slow off the mark. Once you get her revving there's no stopping her. At highway speeds it would be as good as your modern day V6, and I personally have had it at 205km/h on a flat stretch of road and 220km/h on a downhill stretch of road.

Unfortunately the car is let down by its small, hard front seats, how ever the rear seats are comfortable for 2.

Not only is the engine gutsy, but it also sound. Great at high revs.

My 1998 Vectra CD has has the same faults, as well as a faulty ignition switch.
