1992 Chevrolet Astro CL EXT review from North America
"super reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ball joints at 100,000 miles.
Power windows broken at 188,000 miles.
Water pump at 180,000.
Front seat starting to wear out.
Front brakes replaced 7 times.
Back brakes replaced 2 times.
Tires replaced 6 times.
Door handles... nuff said...
One tune-up..yes just one!
Leaks around top of windshield causing headliner to start to sag.
General comments?
This van is very reliable.
Air conditioner still blows cold and has never been charged.
Cruise control works.
Tight turning radius.
Handles very well.
This has been a great van, I purchased it new in 92 and it is no longer the family vehicle, but just a "go to work " vehicle. I drive it 80 miles a day and it never misses a beat.
Gas Mileage is 18mpg which is only 2mpg less than it was when the van was new!
