1989 Chevrolet Caprice review from North America
"My opinion of this car is I give it a 10/10 in every area"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I have had this car which is from 1992. I have changed the muffler myself since I am a mechanic.
Of course the regular maintanance like oil changes and brakes and such.
The transmission oil started to leak and I replaced the gasket and it is fine now.
The wiper motor passed on to car heaven so I have not got around to replacing it yet and I think I should soon winters on the way.
General comments?
By far the most comfortable car I have drove, the interior is better then my living room.
I did some engine modifications because, some heavy duty trucks and cars were killing me off the red line.
Car pumps out 390 horses at the wheel which results in great acceleration.
Still got the original engine no need for rebuilding even though she's edging close to 500,000km now.
The car is not designed to race it's a family sedan, but has remarkable handling.
I can pull a sharp corner at 65km/h without my car fish tailing which is awesome for a sedan its size.
The car is original inside and out nothing is missing looks like she just walked out of the showroom.
Very strong car.
