1989 Chevrolet Sprint review from North America
"Grateful to have it:)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a pretty bad oil leak starting in 2005...was really hard to fix, but had to fix it as it was running into the timing belt area and ruined the alternator belt, causing it to snap once.
General comments?
A little Suzuki engine made it really quick to rev, handled hills brilliantly and easy. Pretty good on the freeway, unless it's windy, but it is a very light car - only 3 cylinders - and therefore, I am still impressed it even exceeds the speed limit at all:)
Unbelievably impressive on gas; I was a university student when I got it, and never shuddered at the cost of a fill-up...better mileage than any one else's car I know...
Has been amazing and reliable; only complaints would be attributed to it being an 18 year old car with 262,840 kilometers on it... all around a blessing in my life!
