1995 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"Good for basic hauling and everyday driving"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission needed $600 repair at 75,000 miles.
Driver's side balljoints and entire front end needed replacing at 87,000 miles.
Muffler replaced at 70,000 miles.
Catalytic convertor replaced at 95,000 miles.
Spare tire winch broke off (albeit when going over a speed bump).
Windshield wiper motor failed at 60,000 miles.
General comments?
It's very easy on gas.
It seriously lags when accelerating, particularly going up hills.
The transmission makes an odd scraping noise when accelerating (has since I first owned it), but this doesn't appear to affect performance and didn't change in any way after the above repair.
Outside of the above things, it's a pretty reliable truck... gets me where I need to go without eating much gas.
You can haul light cargo without it batting an eye. I did once haul a half-ton of mulch in it, but very soon after that the transmission failed and needed the aforementioned repair... not recommended.
