Owned this Vauxhall Sintra 3.0 cdx since 2004 and only had battery and pads and discs renewed. Done the work myself and found parts on line. But today the heater wasn't blowing out hot air, checked the coolant level and lots of brown gunge came out of the filler tank for water....head gasket me thinks.

I love my Vauxhall Sintra! Comfortable; reliable; variable `goods' capacity - fantastic with `2 up'; very tight with `7 up' (difficult to get a picnic in!). Handles my luggage trailer very nicely. I look forward to quite a few more years pleasure.

Roomy & comfortable! Very fast on M-ways if you want it to be. Mine is an ex-demo, bought for a good price @ 3mths old (Dec '98). Has been properly serviced annually - MoT 2006 and 2007 shows CO Limit 0.200, actual val 0.017 (Fast Idle), CO limit 0.300 & actual val 0.004 (Nat Idle) with original engine & (Beautiful) Gearbox. Expensive to service @ Vauxhall garages. My other beloved car to which the Sintra compares very favourably was a very nice 1978 BMW 316 2-door four seat coupe that I owned and used for 2 pass plus luggage from mid '78 until it died in 2004 (rust through-out floor pan). The comparison , of course, is in the handling, reliability and running costs areas and those I found to be very similar. The driving pleasure I get (and got) was immense - still is for the Sintra. Its width and length make it a little awkward in tiny country lanes of course but you know that when you take it in. Good with appropriately sized trailer. Very good paint finish - I've only ever cold washed mine & dried with a leather - shines brilliantly!

I have found my Sintra in the last 9.5 years to be a pleasure to own!

Overall I'm inpressed with the Vauxhall Sintra and something says keep her. Spend some money and she will be good to you. Only time will tell...

I've had my Vauxhall Sintra 8 months come with full service history 1 yrs MOT and 3 months warranty for only £1900 which I thought was good it had a new abs sensor under warranty and all its cost me in 8 months is coil pack for £20 from scrapyard modified wiring made a Vectra 1 fit and exhaust front to back including cat at £215 delivered from online automotive and driver side headlight at cost of £100 brand new from Vauxhall spares.

Since we bought this Vauxhall Sintra a few months ago we have been riddled with problems, oil leak form the adapter seal by the filter, cat went, only £80 new fitted myself, we did 300 miles and still had fuel left over, but you got to drive sensibly or you will see it drink!

After browsing around and a few phone calls, it works out for all body parts etc for this is easier and quicker to get from the states! postage is nasty but still cheaper!

We did look at other MPV but this stood out at us as different, it surely is!

Overall its a nice spacious MPV with a little bit of character, just treat it with respect and it will look after you!

A good family vehicle, with lots of room for 7 passengers and luggage.

We all grumble about prices but I dont think the Vauxhall Sintra much differant than any other car these days. All in all very happy with my Sintra and air suspension is good when towing twin axle caravan. I don't find mpg bad at all. It is a big car with nice 200 bhp engine
