The Vauxhall Kadett, known as the Opel Kadett in continental Europe, is a compact car that was produced by the German manufacturer Opel from 1936 to 1991. Spanning nearly six decades, the name "Kadett" adorned a range of models, each representing a distinct evolution in automotive design and technology. The 1984-1991 generation, often referred to as the "E Kadett," marked a significant turning point for the model line. This generation was built on a completely new platform, featuring a more modern, aerodynamic design and significantly improved interior space compared to its predecessors.

The 1984-1991 Kadett was a testament to Vauxhall and Opel's commitment to providing practical and reliable vehicles for the everyday driver. It offered a wide range of petrol engine options, ranging from modest 1.2-liter units to more powerful 1.8-liter engines, catering to a diverse range of driver needs and preferences. It also introduced a new level of driver comfort and convenience, with features like power steering, electric windows, and a more spacious interior. The "E Kadett" marked a significant shift in the brand's image, moving away from the somewhat dated perception of the Kadett name and making it a more contemporary and desirable option within the compact car segment. The model's success, particularly its sporty GSi variant, cemented its place in automotive history and paved the way for the introduction of the next generation of the Kadett, the Astra, in 1991.
