4-cylinder, manual transmission, and a sunroof. Plus the troll factor.
You could probably register it as a Chevy Venture.

In April 2001, the Sintra achieved position 182 out of 182 in a J D Power “customer satisfaction survey” covering cars first registered in the United Kingdom, between August 1998 & August 1999
Wowzers.

Technically it’s eligible for import. They were built in North America afaik.

And diesel too, optionally. You’d better hurry up, there aren’t that many left. They were said to be of horrible quality, fared catastrophically in crash tests , were sold in small numbers, were treated as disposable and were only offered in ‘97-’99 (in my market).
The Sintra was overwhelmed in the frontal impact: the steering wheel and the deployed airbag broke off its column and the driver faced a real threat of fatal neck injury because his head was forced back and upwards.
Opel has says it has now taken steps to prevent the wheel from snapping off, but the changes have not been tested by Euro NCAP. The car was awarded three stars, mostly for its performance in the side impact, but the final star has been struck through to indicate NCAP’s fears over the chance of a fatal injury. Opel has announced that the Sintra is being withdrawn from sale, but this news came after Euro NCAP had tested the car; in any case, new examples will continue to sell for some time. Finally, its child restraints performed well in the front impact but poorly in the side impact.
Front impact
The impact made the cabin structure unstable and the amount of low-level intrusion meant the driver ran a high risk of feet and lower leg injuries. The footwell ruptured badly where the driver’s feet would lie. There were also areas around the steering column that could cause problems but the driver’s knees were protected
from hitting sharp objects by a polystyrene block under the column shroud.

Even if they were, it’s not that simple.
