1986 Chevrolet Celebrity Station Wagon review from North America
"One of the nicest station wagons that I have ever driven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New starter.
CV boots.
Front tie rods.
Body (now has new paint).
Suspension.
Brake lines.
Fuel tank.
General comments?
Compared to the other cars that I have driven, the Celebrity wagon beats them all. Sure I think it would be better with the "3.1L V6 FI", but the 2.8L is doing just fine. It still has lots of power left for an engine with 290,000Km on it. The interior is still in great shape, as for the instruments I'd personally prefer the optional gage cluster rather than the idot lights.
The car seats 5 comfortably, 16 very uncomfortably.
