1984 Chevrolet Chevette 2-Door base model review from North America
"A very practical and economical car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The doors rusted out at the bottom.
Brake shoes are too small, but this goes for every Chevette made.
General comments?
I love this car. There is just something about it that intrigues me. Perhaps its utter simplicity in a world where todays cars are so complicated.
I have put this car away with 13 000 kilometers on it, and don't really plan to take it out anytime soon. I still have the window sticker.
Although there is no rust (anymore), and the paint is perfect, I think as soon as it gets some use, rust will get the better of it very quickly.
