Vauxhall Cavalier Hatchback 2.5 V6 CDX 5d (1994/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
A lot of the car for the money. Expect to pay no more then £1200 the very best example.
Costs
Parts, servicing, insurance all pretty good. Fuel economy not bad at all at 30 mpg.

Driving
Pleasant to drive, but a bit wallowy in the corners. Manual gearbox a bit vauge, but that's classic for Vauxhalls.
Performance
The 170 bhp V6 is smooth and very powerful. Faster then a lot of cars you'd encounter day to day.

Reliability
Has been fine so far. Few electrical faults, now solved but it is 11 years old!
Image
Anonymous and inoffensive. Smart examples still look nice. A real wolf in sheeps clothing though.
Comfort
Leather interior very comfortable. Cabin quiet and ride smooth.
