Excellent cars - worse handling in its class by a county mile.

If looking at a c20xe check for tapping from cold.

Rear Arches (typical Vauxhall)

Seat belts have a tendincy to wear for some reason also.

Apart from that solid.

Bear in mind it wears a GSi badge and now within the reach of people that dont treat them properly

Check the front wishbones, the bushes normally perish and die, causing vauge handling, seaized rear calipers, rusty arches and sills.

Wishbones yes - the offside seems to giveway with disturbing frequency.
