Vauxhall Carlton Saloon 3.0 GSi 3000 4d (1989/G) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Where else can you get 0-60 in 7 secs and 150mph for £500?!
Costs
Nothing's been expensive so far, except gas, but hey, it's a 3.0 litre.

On the road
Driving
Super smooth inter-stellar super cruiser. Just pray that it's dry if you have to turn the wheel.
Performance
Ludicrously fast for a super tanker, but I think mine's had some mods done to it before I got it.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing's gone wrong so far that wasn't wrong before. Remeber, it's 13 years old with 160k miles on it.
Image
Other half thinks it looks 'neddy' because it's lowered, with big wheels and a big SS exhaust. I don't care. Most people just see the tail lights!
Comfort
The most supportive armchair I've ever sat in.

Security and Service
Security
Not great as standard. Get a new alarm.
