1986 Opel Ascona GT 1.8i

Summary:

Good but simple

Faults:

New generator and battery.

Front seats starting to wear.

General Comments:

A very quick car especially with this 1,8 liter engine. It's pretty fun to drive, but the comfort is no good and gives you a bumpy ride.. not very good on the road when icy and cold. The seats are very hard and narrow, but although pretty comfortable to sit in, even for a long ride.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1977 Opel Ascona S 1.9

Summary:

A rusty racer!

Faults:

Cylinder head cracked due to overheating at 200,000 km.

Except from that, nothing but brake-pads and wiper rubbers.

The body started rusting away after two years.

General Comments:

These are wonderful cars. Not so comfy, not such high quality, but it sure is fun. The heat is no good in these cars. Driving this in the Swedish winters is not too smart. But it's alright though. Really fun to drive. They have much rust-problems. That's frustrating.
