1989 Vauxhall Cavalier SRi 130 2.0 8V petrol from UK and Ireland
Faults:
Have had this car 6 years and this has been the first time I have had any problems - a new exhaust under £100, power steering rack £95, this is all it needed to pass its MOT.
General Comments:
Very reliable economical family car with comfort and power, cheap and easy to repair if you shop around.
I am now trading it for a Vectra!!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I own a 1990 Cav SRi 8v and discovered to my horror that the front offside wheel arch was as rotten as a pear, but apparently a common fault.
Also the cost of replacing the two rear arches is £225 which I think is reasonable.
P.s Don't follow the haynes manual when it comes to changing the heater control bulb, it's impossible unless your fingers are 12 inches long.
