1988 Chevrolet Sprint review from North America
"The Little Blue Car is a treasure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The carburetor has been replaced twice.
The muffler has been replaced twice.
General comments?
As the original owner I have nothing but praise for my 1988 Sprint.
All preventive maintenance has been documented.
The mileage has decreased to approximately 30mpg. I live in the mountains of Northern California, commute 50 miles one way and drove to Delaware two times a summer for five years.
This car still burns no oil.
The front wheel drive makes for easy handling in the snow.
When the car was brand new I installed a CB radio, sunroof, painted thin pink pinstripes on the lower panels (car is blue) and across the windshield, tinted the windows and changed the wheels to 13.
