1989 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon review from North America
"An all in one car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had a few things go wrong with this car since I have owned it i.e.
Transmission,
Water Pump,
Radiator,
Choke closing,
Brakes,
Cruise Control,
and front Sway Bar end links,
But I have repaired most of these items and now it runs like a dream.
General comments?
I have owned an 85 Caprice Wagon before, and it was my first Wagon. after I let it go I had to have another.
The ride is unsurpassed, I couldn't ask for anything better.
The hauling capacities are great and travel potential are perfect.
Wonderful options such as.
Cruise Control,
Air conditioning (which still works!),
Twilight Sentinel,
Headlight Delay,
8 way Power Seats,
Dual Remote Mirrors,
Bucket Seats,
Power Windows,
Power Door Locks,
and other options. This car must have had all options when it was new. when I get the 1979 Trans Am 403 rebuilt for this car it will be a dream come true.
Th interior room is incredible, unlimited leg room for the front.
Passenger capabilities are amazing.
To drive this car is a pleasure all its own.
