2005 Chevrolet Classic Standard review from North America
"Superb value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very poor speakers.
General comments?
I wanted a bigger car than the Corolla I had, but still with good fuel economy. Right now I'm getting 24-28 mpg in winter driving.
The suspension is a bit noisy over bumps and the factory speakers are terrible (entire audio system will be replaced soon).
I've done a lot of research on this engine, and everything points to this being the best 4 cyl GM has built.
I paid $7600 for a 2005 with 46000 miles.
The auto-lights feature is a great feature.
Handling is pretty good (my days of aggressive driving are done).
If you want decent and practical transportation, this car is a fantastic deal.
