Good Points

At 18 yrs old it still looks good and out performs most modern stuff. Had loads of previous cavs and vectras, but never a cav gsi. Having now owned one reckon its miles better than my old 2.2 vectra sri.

Bad Points

Boots a bit shallow and the obvious rust issues. Mine had the rear arches done about 3 years ago and is just showin signs of needing tidying again.

General Comments

My Vauxhall Cavalier gsi is a 1990 G, purchased for a grand. Not sure if i have paid too much, but its already lowered, (spax adjustables and springs) but otherwise standard. there are loads of interior bits to sort. fuel computer has a mind of its own. interior light faulty, heated rear window dont work, tappety as hell when started up from cold (130k) heater matrix needs replacing. in general a reasonable starting point, daily driver but also a project, loads to do but thats the fun of it,(when funds allow) performance wise and handling love it to bits. Nearly forgot, its almost black, like a ash black.
