Vauxhall Carlton Saloon 2.0i GL 4d Auto (1990/G) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Best £700 I ever spent.
Costs
Average over 30 mpg, even round town. Not bad for a big heavy car. Loves moterways.

On the road
Driving
Can wallow a bit if pushed too hard round corners.
Performance
2 litre Vauxhall engine is a firecraker, even in this big car.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Slight electrical faults traced to a loose earth connection.
Image
Still looks good for its age. Nice and solid looking.
Comfort
Take your best comfy armchair, stick wheels on it and call it a Carlton. Bags of room and huge boot.

No alarm, but deadlocks are enough for the age of the car.
