Faults:
Gaiter around gear lever has worn and looks a bit tatty.
Had to buy a side repeater lens from Vauxhall dealer (£1.13 inc vat)
Illumination lamps for heater/ventilation controls have packed up.
Had slight water and air leak from windscreen at top due to small patch or corrosion, cured with touch-up paint and small amount of silicon sealer.
Crows at work pinched wiper blade rubbers (for nesting purposes)
General Comments:
I bought the Cavalier from a colleague as our Acclaim was getting a bit long in the tooth.
It always starts first time and seems quite happy to pull from cold.
Great car on the motorway sneaks up to 90 mph if you are not vigilant.
Oil consumption is non existent and apart from usual consumables has needed very little at all.
40+ mpg on a run and plenty of room for 4 adults and luggage.
Good sound from the radio-cassette.
Loads of space if you fold down the rear seats.
Good heating and ventilation system.
Comfortable seats, what more do you need?
