1991 Chevrolet Sprint Base review from North America
"Low gas consumption champion at a low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Burnt exhaust valve of cylinder #2. I had the cylinder head rebuild at 150 000 Km. Ever if it wasn't really needed, piston rings was done at the same time.
Some other stuffs: radiator, starter, timing belt, brake cylinders and calipers, regular maintenance filters and parts.
General comments?
Easy on gas, I calculated about 54-56 miles/imperial gallon.
Ride is not very comfortable on bad surfaced roads.
Very well designed, cargo space in the hatchback is very impressive! Rear seats place is good also.
Most mechanical works can be done quite easily, but why that strange bolted plate over front disk brakes?
Handling is not too bad considering of the short wheelbase. Steering is precise and quick. I always liked very much the road feel of a car without power steering.
