1991 Vauxhall Cavalier GLi 2.0 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
An inexpensive luxury if you get a nice one
Faults:
I fitted a new thermostat about 3,000 miles ago.
General Comments:
This is my third Cavalier and without doubt the best one so far, the two previous being 1.6L models.
It handles well, goes like the clappers when you cane it and is extremely comfortable.
It wasn't exactly cherished by it's previous owners, but with a bit of effort and a little expense it now shines like a new pin.
I do accept the point made about the interior trim being noisy on a long journey, but the stereo adequately disguises such noises.
I would advise anyone else with a 2.0GLi to give it very regular oil changes as they seem to like oil nearly as much as petrol.
Look after your Cavalier and it will more than look after you...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Wrong clutch caused the gearbox to blow up? Sorry mate, but that's just Vauxhall 4wd systems for you. They don't need a reason to blow up.
