1986 Chevrolet Sprint review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil burner starting at 60,000 miles. Automatic waits too long to up shift & sometimes won't. No power (raced a VW Bug & he blew me away). Death trap (same size as a Yugo). Gas fumes very strong. Noisy. 1 bbl carburetor is a pain in the butt to work on (left me stranded many times because of this). Rust all over. With a 3 cylinder when 1 plug is misfiring, you will definitely know it (it does not run).
General comments?
One good thing - when it runs, it gets 50 mpg. I'll sell it for $1 or a dohnut.
