Rust, cost of parts, very poor Vauxhall main dealer servicing... in my opinion
I bought my Vauxhall Cavalier GSi 16V C20XE in November 1994 because I liked them from the BTCC. It was Anthracite Grey, standard alloy wheels, Continental tyres and standard exhaust, until it dropped off through rust, and the fuel tank had a leak. Then I bought a Scorpion twin exhaust, what a difference that made. Now 140 was easily attainable, as I discovered one night coming up to the south of Stoke on the dual carriageway.
A funny bloke in one of those little MG's tried to race me, I ignored him, at least until the third time he tried, then I left him behind. We must have raced for miles, but it did not take long to cover them.
Lots of problems in the 8 years I had it, but it is still the best car I have ever had. I had to sell it a few years ago as it got too expensive to keep fixing. A sad day that was.
