1988 Chevrolet Beretta base V6 review from North America
"Not bad bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket began to leak at 120,000 km.
Body rusted badly around the wheels.
Rear window leaked badly.
Speakers were badly damaged from rain damage.
Wheel fell off on busy street resulting in serious brake damage, and front end work.
General comments?
Although the car was problematic is was still an excellent car, I would buy another one if it were newer.
I think the majority of the problems resulted from age and the fact it was the 1st year produced.
Untouchable power.
