Opel huh? AKA Cadillac Catera. Built the in the same plant and all. My mom had a 1998 Catera before her 1999 Tahoe, it was a fun car, but the reliability issues were one of the worst she's had (there's a reason why we didn't even have it a year...) First, transmission went, new one under warranty. Power rear sunshade died, replaced under warranty, transmission again, it constantly went into "winter mode" and would not get out of it, meaning it was impossible to go into first gear. at 3000 miles, the engine blew while driving ~70mph on the freeway, at this time my mom told the dealer to take the POS and shove it where the sun don't shine. Like I said, it was a very fun-to-drive car, but it had MAJOR issues. Between electrical issues, engine issues, transmission issues and everything else, it was just not worth the price. When you pay nearly 40K for a vehicle, you expect it to last more than one year!!
