1986 Chevrolet Caprice review from North America
"Best car Chevrolet has ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car sat for approximately 6 years before I bought it. This caused the heater core to dry out. It needed to be replaced.
Exhaust system needed to be replaced.
Brakes are slightly out-of-round and will be repaired soon.
I consider these items normal maintenance.
General comments?
This is the best car I have ever owned.
I get comments almost daily from strangers about how nice it is.
Even with the 5.0 Litre V8 the gas mileage is around 25 MPG.
