1987 Chevrolet Beretta review from North America
"Smooth runner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very few things. Last year I had a new fuel pump installed. The dash board is really looking ugly. Paint is peeling on some parts of car.
General comments?
I found out after I purchased the car that Consumer Reports had given Berettas very bad reviews. But hey, what does Consumer Reports know? This car has run great and it's not showing any signs of quitting, even after 140,000 miles. In fact, I've had more problems with tires than with the car itself. I guess I must have lucky with this car.
Now I'm thinking of putting a few dollars into it, including repainting the top where the paint is peeling pretty badly.
