A great family saloon!!!
Radiator.
Dash bulbs, touch wood nothing else.
Oh, just a few small rust spots above the front screen.
Very comfortable, great on motorway.
Couldn't get another car for the money I paid anywhere near this condition.

Nice car
Water pipe split, trouble with the ABS, not much else really.
Good all round car, with the comforts to match, it's also pretty good on petrol considering the car is capable of 150mph and does the 0-60 in 6.8 sec's, so my advice to anyone who reads this is make sure the 4x4 system is working OK.

Provided the weaknesses dealt with, nowadays a real high performance bargain
Radiator and power steering rack replaced under Network Q warranty.
Cylinder head replaced at 80,000 miles - letting oil into cooling water.
Steering rack again at 82,000 miles.
Bodywork much better than previous Cavalier. Weakpoints obviously cylinder head and power steering rack. A real pleasure to drive, brilliant for overtaking and motorway driving, whilst still quite at home in town.

Best car I ever bought
Nothing to date.
A very comfy and reliable car. Full electrics and full leather make for a very enjoyable drive.

Only minor thing's, bulbs etc. Have covered over 100,000 miles and has never let me down. Very economical to run for a 2 litre car.
The best car I have owned with excellent spec including leather and air con. Good handling and nice to drive although I am told it is not that comfortable travelling in the rear. Not a slow performer and great on motorways. Easily capable of burning off your average 'boy racer' and with a bit more refinement. Good quality original audio system.

None, I have owned this car for the last two years since I passed my test and my father owned it before me.
A cheap to run car that looks newer than it is.

Water pump gave up the ghost. Generally very reliable for a car that's done 80k.
Very rapid, and esp. suited to A-roads, can be a bit of handful on country lanes. Ride is hard, but not hard enough for a sports model. Has the 148bhp lump, which has more omph than later models.

New front brakes, new oxygen sensor (replaced under warranty), starter relay failed so had to have a new starter motor because it was trying to start itself while it was running.
A great all round car, the engine is absolutely fantastic, it's got loads of torque, loads of power, and goes on forever - mines done 90K now and it's only just starting to loosen up.
They're really easy to work on, and because I keep going to the same Vauxhall dealer I get everything cheaper than trade price, it costs me less than 30ukp for all the servicing stuff. Can't give the car enough praise.

Bought the car in June '97. Exhaust tailpipe and centre section needed replacing. New front discs and pads required. New timing belt. Engine had bad oil leak which turned out to be a faulty oil seal. Wiring problems - wires were short-circuiting in the engine compartment. New tyres required. Have spent nearly 1000 UKP on this car so far.
The 1993 SRi has the pre-ECOTEC engine and is a stormer. 150bhp, 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. Pulls very strongly from low revs and has excellent fuel economy. Also has a sports-ratio gearbox which makes it fantastic at overtaking from 50-80mph.
Downside is the handling. It is too softly sprung, despite having sports suspension. Rather twitchy on country roads - more suited to fast A roads and motorways. Also the ride is very harsh which causes various parts of the interior to rattle. Good looking car with extended sills and 'fan' alloy wheels.

I have recently bought a cavvy turbo which is completely standard no mods at all and I have achieved a speed of 150 mph no problem at all. also a 0-60 time of 7 seconds with a car full of passengers.
These are real performance cars any cavalier enthusiast with the the need for speed should own one.
