Let me give you a proper look around my 1983 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 L, with a full tour of the outside, the inside, main controls and of course a drive. The mk2 Cavalier (Opel Ascona C, and otherwise General Motors' J-Car) was a real game changer for the 1980s in terms of refinement, quality and reliability - join me to see what makes it so good! Head over to the AlsoDriven channel to see us take the Cavalier out for a road trip to visit some strange sights in Norwich: https://youtu.be/OJE7k0ZAjQo?si=6IkcM5c0g5glcRmm Mk1 Astra review video: https://youtu.be/s7ax8312Hog

About Opel Ascona

The Opel Ascona is a large family car that was produced by the German automaker Opel from 1970 to 1988. It was produced in three separate generations, beginning with rear-wheel-drive and ending up as a front-wheel drive J-car derivative. The Ascona was developed to fill the gap in the Opel range as the Opel Rekord was gradually growing in size.
