Faults:

Electric mirrors won't work always.

Exhaust has rusted out and broken.

Intake/exhaust gasket had to be replaced twice (made some dowel pins between the head and the exhaust).

Fuel injectors leak when car has been shut down.

Rusts out very easy around the shock towers in the front.

General Comments:

Very rare and comfortable car, not seen very often.

Fuel mileage is bad!

Will consider dropping in a 3.0-24valve, have more performance and better fuel mileage at the same time!

Faults:

Had to change batteries 2 times.

Exhaust is broken.

Dashboard lights failing.

Seat is hanging over to the left.

General Comments:

The car looks and sounds great. The first time I saw and heard the car was when my dad came home with it, to take me for a ride. Instantly, I fell in love with the looks en the sound of the six-cylinder.

It's big and heavy, but can go very fast trough corners and has a great acceleration if you use the kick down.

My dad wanted to sell the car, but I didn't, so now we will keep em in garage until I graduate from university, and then I will get as a present! Then I want it fixed and maybe I'm gonna tune it. The car most go faster and lower to the asphalt. And the seats of the Pullmann interior have to be replaced by Recaro's.

Faults:

Due to neglect by the previous owner, several petrol leaks had to be repaired.

Seat's heating wasn't working anymore.

Small oil leak (oil pump).

A new clutch was installed.

Electric powered mirror (left) wasn't working 100% anymore. Mirror heating right defect.

General Comments:

This was my second Monza. The 2.5i was not really powerful enough, but made the same sound as the 3.0i I once owned.

Small 'electric' things didn't work 100%.

This was a rare model with LCD dashboard and lots of options. I liked it a lot, until petrol prices started to overtake my love for this rare coupe.

Hardly any rust and very reliable. And a very nice smell from the pullmann interior. A great car!

Faults:

Some small problems.

New battery.

A new piece of exhaust pipe (not cheap).

Rust underneath the right door.

New brakes (rear).

Glass and lock damage from stealing the radio (twice).

Just a big reliable Opel with no technical problems.

General Comments:

Killed by an Opel Omega Wagon in 1996, this grey Monza 3.0E was a beauty. I spent a fortune on petrol, but that's it.

I've been to Poland with this car and sometimes drove 200 km/h without problems in Germany and near Poznan. A real head turner everywhere.

It was more of a comfortable sports coupe than a high speed sports car. I can't think of a comparable Opel since the last Monza was built in 1986!
