The old dream comes true, the sporty couple can take his children for a ride and does not yet without a coupe. This is of solid workmanship of a mass production manufacturer. The parts are highly identical with those of the well-behaved limousine. The price is still acceptable, although with the GT/E with black hood and spoiler the absolute limit is reached slowly. The car will be ordered more than the previous model and still rare by women.

Only the image produced by Opel does not quite fit. The advertising appeals to more youthful buyers, thus those, who - at least at this time - can not quite afford such a new car. It gets worse. This type of car owners will regarded suddenly as proles, people with few brain and a lot of affectation. This can be seen in films and jokes, pushes the value of the car and the mood of the owners. Thus the preservation of the vehicles not is worthwhile. One gets the impression from Manta B are now less vehicles than from the older Manta A.

Thereby the body is a great improvement compared to its predecessor. In contrast to this it has also again similarity to a U.S. model, where only certain stylistic elements were taken over by the Chevrolet Monza 2+2. Despite integrated roll bar a lucid interior and a straight design without no frills are the result. Even one dares almost to give up the radiator grill. With the cost pressure, of course the dashboard must be taken over by its sister model Ascona. Under the sheet metal, it has remained up to the Bilstein shock absorbers in the technique of predecessor. The engine is despite electronic fuel injection nothing special, but not too exaggerated loud and inelastic. However, more aerodynamic than its predecessor, it is not. And despite the rear rigid axle good road handling is obtained by hardening in comfort. Without compromise it's not really if the family father mutates into a racing driver.
