As a secondhand buy, are they as bad as I'm reading?!

They are every bit as bad as you have heard. Do not consider one of these. At one time there were 4 in our fleet that I knew about. One was replaced after 7 months, one needed a respray after 3 months, and none lasted till the three year or 4 year term.

They're supposedly deadly in an accident as well.

Yep they sure are!

The place my dad works had a lease on as a pool car and it was a total dog - it was in the dealership more than they had it. The quality of the paintwork was terrible and it had 3 gearbox replacements.

All the JD Power surveys they 'starred' in, they were towards the bottom, if not the very bottom!

Never mind the Sintra thing - read the e-bay details incuding a full history from "Carfax". Note that US drivers can see whether their prospective purchase was a "lemon" (A dealer buyback) why don't we get this level of info.

What's this with the Warner Brothers special edition - the mind boggles. Does this mean when you turn the engine off it spouts a joyful "That's All Folks" from its stereo ?

And none of them have attracted a single bid.

Not for one minute saying the Sintra is a good or bad car, but I've always taken the JD Power survey results with a pinch of salt.

Agree with the pinch of salt, but the Sintra is somewhat dire.

We had one in the fleet which required 4 new tyres after 8k which
Vauxhall paid for as well as the wheel alignment.

It was bought by a member of staff and has had the alarm disconnected due to an untraceable fault. Battery has been replaced twice (which is a pig of a job), not many on the roads which is not good for the spares situation.

I'm sure I remember one of the motoring TV programmes spraying it with slurrey. It was done to 'bring two similar products together'.
I also seem to remember Vauxhall were not very happy about this publicity either....
