1982 Chevrolet Citation X-11 review from North America

My carburetor needed some adjustments shortly after I purchased the car. That was the only time in the four years I own it that it was taken in for anything other than normal wear items (i.e. exhaust, brakes, tires, etc.).

I had wanted one ever since they came out with the H.O. V-6. Finally bought one in 1991 and loved it! Great looks and decent speed (impressive given the general level of performance for cars in 1982). The engine was always willing to rev, and pulled strong to red-line.

Handling was this car's forte - just as solid and stable as newer and more expensive cars I've driven. It surprised a lot of people who passed it off as "just" a Citation.

Decent room inside and comfortable for passengers front and back. Could have done without the vertical radio, but no biggie!

After a quick carb tuning right after I got it, I had no mechanical trouble with the car in the four years I drove it (putting 70,000 miles on it). None, and I certainly didn't baby it. I wish I had never sold it.
