1986 Chevrolet Sprint Plus review from North America
"Get ready to downshift a lot, also a great gas saver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C is broken, compressor is out. Carb is starting to get weird acting choking alot. Motor mounts are worn out. First spark plug continues to get fowled out every few weeks. Radiator is plugged up causing the car to run hot. Had to straight wire the cooling fan because the switch went out. Car backfires real bad in the first 5 mins that you are on the road.
General comments?
I bought this car because I was told it was an older Geo Metro which I can say that it is, an older one though. This is a very dependable car, it's just very very slow and parts are almost impossible to find anymore for anything to do with this car. Gas saver.
