1992 Chevrolet Caprice review from North America

Three alternators have been replaced, luckily I have a lifetime warranty.

Two waterpumps (also Lifetime warranty)

Three readiators (LT warranty)

Eight sets of front brakes (this car eats them)

Front spindles, rotors and wheel bearings.

A/C has gone out twice (disconnected plug)

Engine replaced at 128,000 due to blown head gasket. Replacement cost $2800 at Chevy dealer. Great target motor.

Heater core replaced at 167,000 miles.

I bought this car 10 years ago today. Although it has had a some problems, it has been dependable and has never left me on the side of the road.

This Caprice handles fairly well due to upgraded shocks and tires. Ride is smooth even at excessive speeds on Interstates. Engine and Transmission (700R4) have performed well.

I might add that with mine being a white care, it has been virtually ignored by the police. The ultimate stealth car. I have four other cars, but this is my Interstate car of choice.

Fuel milage has been supurb. City and suburban driving averages 19-22mpg, while Intertstate driving at 55-65mph has produced 24mpg. Interestingly, at speeds ranging from 70-80 I can average as much a 29mpg. I attribute this to the 700R4 staying in 4th gear (overdrive).
