Car makers can suffer for decades if they get a bad rep at some point. Lancia pulled out of the UK entirely after a dreadful cock-up with the material specifications of the Lancia Beta meant that electrolysis accelerated corrosion was eating the underpinnings of the new model away almost as one watched…. Vauxhall had a similar problem. A steel shortage in the early ‘60’s led them to start using mild welsh steel, which corroded very quickly and within 10 years they gained a ruinous rep for rust. Ford were the market leaders in all the small and mid segments so competitors had to up their game. The Ford Escort’s competitor was the Vauxhall Viva. The Viva was, by most metrics, the better car. It had had Girling discs on the front on all models since 1967, whereas the Escort had drums It had a decent trailing arm rear suspension with coil springs and shocks, whereas the Escort had un tethered leaf springs. It had a clever 8 volt ignition coil with a ballast resistor so during cranking the coil was not compromised by voltage drop from the starter motor, the resistor serving to ensure the coil got the correct voltage under normal running so, unlike the Fords, they always started. (That was a ‘thing’ back then!) An 1159cc HB Viva was faster, more planted and stopped harder than the equivalent 1300 Escort, especially on its Dunlop low profile crossplies. it was not a coincidence that most tyre adverts in those days featured a Vauxhall… However, not of that made the slightest difference to the perceptions of the buyer. The RWD Cavalier was dynamically better than the Cortina, However, Ford got their shit together with the FWD cars. The Focus, Mondeo and especially the Fiesta got better and better.and left everyone else behind. With one exception…. The Vauxhall small diesels The Fiat derived 1.3 turbo diesel, best fitted to the Corsa is a fabulous, chain-cam gem with up to 95 bhp and almost comically high economy The 1.6 Astra diesel is capable of averaging well over 70 mpg And the 1.9 TD found in the Astra, the Vectra and the Insignia, especially in its 150 bhp variant, is a revvy powerhouse. The one in my SAAB with a bit of a remap, pushes out over 200 bhp and the car will average 70 mpg and 70 mph…. Since the mid ‘70’s, Vauxhall and Opel share almost everything, and today Vauxhall/Opel is dipping into the peugeot/Citroen PSA parts bin. Vauxhalls have always been great to drive… I’ve had three Vivas, an HA, a HB and an HC, A Magnum Viva, three Chevettes, a Cavalier and a Corsa myself, and we have a 1.6 diesel Astra at work. They’re good cars generally.
Depending on the type of car you're driving. If it's a performance car then it's more than likely it can do that speed (if not more. Take the BMW M5 E60, limited to 155mph, can actually do 200+mph with the speed governor removed). But if it's a family car or something like it then no. A speedometer must legally show more than it is capable of, not less. My car's speedo (I drive a 2003 Ford Focus diesel) lists 155mph (249kph) as it's top end but in reality it'll max out at 130mph (209kph) in standard form without any upgrades such as an ECU remap.
I've been driving for 9 years. My current car is the my favourite. It's not exciting to look at, it's a family car. It's a 17 year old Ford Focus C-Max. It's got a 2 litre turbo diesel. Just that description alone is enough to bore people, but it's surprisingly quick. It's been remapped to produce 175bhp and over 300lbft of torque. The standard engine makes 136bhp and about 230lbft.
