1982 Chevrolet Citation review from North America
"My first and worst car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything under the sun.
Interior leaks from the windows.
Electrical problems (wipers come on for no reason, climate controls had a mind of their own).
Blew fuses on a regular basis like clockwork.
Ugly (good car to use as birth control).
Transmission leaked.
Oil pan leaked.
Radiator leaked.
The title says it all...
General comments?
This car, by far, has got to be one of the worst pieces of crap to ever roll off the assembly line.
One of the few things it did right was have cold A/C all summer, and I'm sure that would have failed after while.
My parents thought it would be good to get me my first car with low miles, little did they know the reason this car had such low miles was it had spent 3/4 of its life in the repair shop.
