1995 Chevrolet Beretta review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the front brakes twice within one year, including the calipers, which seized up, as well as the rotors.
The lower control arms gave out last summer.
It failed emissions during this year's inspection. The HO level was 1.25 and the limit was 1.20. The mechanics recommended a tune-up to clear up the problem.
The driver's side door handle snapped off last winter, which has yet to be replaced.
The driver's side door hinge also needs to be replaced since the door will not stay open and makes a snapping sound when it is opened and shut.
General comments?
This car handles very well and, aside from a few minor problems, has been very reliable.
It has excellent take off, even for a 4-cylinder.
The interior is in good condition, aside from minor spills and normal wear and tear.
