Faults:

The car had various repairs and parts changed by the Opel dealership before I purchased the car.

The brakes, battery and belts were changed before purchase.

I had the ecu reprogrammed as it was out of tune, saying the car was a 1.4 litre 16V Automatic without air conditioning. This took away power and the car was unpleasant to drive.

The engine management light came on occasionally then finally stayed on and the car stalled, causing the speedometer to cease.

After placing 17" wheels on the car I have noticed a slight crack in the front left brake.

The last problem was the alternator which died.

All these problems happened in less than 6 months.

General Comments:

It's a nice looking car.

It's not worth the money though.

Has far too many problems.

Should be recalled by Opel.

Faults:

Rust forming in the engine bay.

Reverse light globe blew.

Exhaust system isn't well attached.

Brakes had to be replaced when purchased.

Electric windows had to be readjusted as they did not close properly.

General Comments:

It has a fair amount of power and torque for a 1.6 litre car.

The zippy engine makes it a joy to drive on the twisty bends and seaside roads of France.

However the car feels to strain at higher speeds in 5th.

The gears are stretched out far enough.

But for the price it's a very enjoyable, attractive car.
