"Sucks! Sucks! Sucks!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alternator.

More interior plastic bits have come off than I can list, currently suffering from an unknown ailment.

General comments?

DON'T BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've only managed to drive this car 3,000 miles in the year I've owned it -- and yes it has broken down again (now I know why it only had 80,000 miles on it when I bought it - they couldn't get it to go any further). This lemon is once again dead in the water and waiting to suck down more cash. Parts are expensive. Be smart - DON'T BUY ONE!

I'm trying to change my alternator, but I can't get the alternator belt on!!! Can anybody help me??? None of the major stores have the repair book!!! Any help please email me at talldark6m@hotmail.com

It is a 2.0 1989.

Possible reason as to why LeMans are crap: they are the '84-91 Vauxhall Astra/Opel Kadett (GM Europe) made by Daewoo in Korea. And as my Hyundai has shown, Korean build quality is not up to Japanese or German standards.

Interestingly, LeMans comes out as "Lemons" when this comment was put through this site's spellchecker.
