1987 Chevrolet Celebrity Wagon Eurosport review from North America

Since I have bought the car, nothing has gone wrong with it. Before I bought it however, the previous owner stated he completely overhauled the front end because it stranded him on a busy bridge here in Green Bay. The rear defroster never worked, the right rear window doesn't roll down, and the gas gauge is inaccurate (half is actually empty). Not sure if it's a bad thing, but the water temp is usually at 220+ on the highway, something I try to baby by putting in neutral on off ramps and crank the heater.

This was really my 2nd car. I'm 19 now and still continue to drive this car every day. You'd think a 19 year old would drive like an idiot, but I baby my car. This car is simply the most comfortable, reliable, drivable car I've ever driven. The engine still runs like a swiss watch, the transmission shifts almost perfectly, I'll elaborate on that in a second. The bench seats can fit my huge self very well. I'm 6'4" and love the low profile feel of the car. I get the oil changed every 2500 miles and back in November, after winning a $100 bet on the Packers, I flushed and changed the transmission fluid. I have no doubt in my mind this car will easily reach 210,000 miles!

My ONLY complaint about this car is the transmission when it's cold. I live in Wisconsin, it gets pretty cold here in winter obviously. When the car temperature is below 140 or so, it simply will not shift out of 3rd gear. It must be warmed up fully (or at least 150 from what I see on the gauge) before it goes into 4th gear or overdrive. It's not a big deal really I suppose, but I work right by the highway and feel I'm forced to take the city home because I try to avoid high engine RPM at all costs.
