1. The anti-theft is not like what you may be thinking ... it is in the key fob and security system of the car. At least that is the way they make the USA cars.

5. Dash lighting is poor ... especially in the sunlight with the top down. Our complaints have been with regard to the radio.

6. Need a little more explanation on this one

7. The heat comes from the exhaust ... you can try pulling up the carpet and laying down some extra insulation.

8. Yes ... lights have an AUTO ON function ... if the Opel GT works the same as ours if you do not wish them to be on ... then flip your switch to the down position once ... that should take it off the AUTO ON function until the next time you start the car.

10. The GXP brakes have this issue also - from what I have read if you allow 30-60 seconds for the system to 'build' you should not have any problems.

MomsSol thanks for your fast reply

5. did you saw the video on youtube? if you saw it you could probably understand that am driving in the highway cruise control on about 70 miles/hour and the lighting goes down until NOTHING COULD BE SEEN ON THE DIC OR THE CENTER CONSOLE and SUDDENLY from nowhere the lighting come back to normal

6. i'll take a photo and post it here

10. ok and what have you done about that? a week ago i almost crashed because of that and i already driven from my home ,in a straight line, for about a kilometer and then trying to stop the car nothing happened - Also as you probably know the GT has awfull Brakes that build up heat immediately and as a result you can't stop the car with ease
