1986 Chevrolet Sprint Plus review from North America
"Slow slow slow.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Altenator caught fire.
A/C was broke when I got it - took the shop three months to get the part to fix it (summer was over).
Runs hot during hot weather seasons.
Grinding noise in the front even after replacing all brakes on the car.
Carb is a piece of JUNK, always missing and backfiring.
General comments?
This car is WAY to slow to even be on the road. I've been almost hit several times thanks to this car's lack of power. You have to shift constantly to keep up with traffic, I mean keep the pedal to the FLOOR! NO POWER AT ALL WITH THE A/C ON, car will NOT pick up any speed, you will just have to rev up, that's it.
I must say that this car is very reliable and very good on gas - I average about 50mpg.
It's got high mileage and it doesn't use any oil whatsoever.
