1996 Chevrolet Beretta review from North America
"Good if hasn't been abused, BAD if it has"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car from my friend's mom. The transmission wasn't changing right from the start, 2,000 miles (2 months) later it threw a rod.
General comments?
I believe this car was abused before I got it. But if it wasn't then this was is definitely not worth the money. A 1996 car shouldn't throw a rod in 2004. Buy wisely if you plan on getting a Beretta. If you think there is anything wrong with it don't buy it cause chances are there is.
