1987 Chevrolet Spectrum review from North America
"Money well invested"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced timing belt every 70,000 miles.
Replaced computer at 30,000 miles.
Cloth seats are starting to come apart.
Rear window gasket replaced at 270,000 miles.
Replaced alternator.
Starting to leak oil.
General comments?
This car has been a commuter's dream for 19 years, and the turbo charger makes it really quick, when coupled with the 5 speed transmission.
Sad to say, I've gained 40 pounds, and need to sell it to buy something bigger.
