General Comments:

I remember driving this car with friends in high school and loving every moment. When the time came to buy a winter car, I managed to find one in a rural community. It was in perfect condition and owned by a former GM factory employee. This car looks like it is brand new and runs especially well considering its age and mileage.

It easily passed a government inspection and emissions test.

After some repairs due to age, the car is back on the road and running well.

It has a lot of room, is extremely durable and very cheap to repair.

Don't use the dealer as any good mechanic can keep it in tip top shape for a very low price.

While most of these cars have the V8, mine is equipped with the base V6. The V6 would not be my first choice as it lacks the power of the big V8s. It's advantage, though, lies in the electronic fuel injection instead of an old carburator.

If you can find one of these cars in good condition, buy it. They are fun to drive, very practical, cheap to run and amazingly durable.

Only major downside is the poor fuel economy.

Faults:

Brakes failed. Brake lines had to be replaced.

Starting to rust on right side in the back.

Starting to smoke from Engine. Mechanic says engine needs to be replaced or consider junking the car.

Starter replaced twice, last rebuilt starter put in still going strong!

Paper (wood) siding has almost all completely peeled off.

General Comments:

The car is very comfortable, seats are wide, It can seat 9 people.

Old as it is the car still runs great, except for smoke from the engine.

Car drives well. Gears work fine, lights, systems monitor all still working.

Lights, brake lights, hazard lights all work.

Faults:

Automatic locks

Automatic driver's window

Water pump

Valve covers

None of these under 100,000 miles

I broke the passenger outer mirror off pulling into the garage.

General Comments:

Finest running car I've ever had.

Beautifully comfortable riding.

Wonderfully quick pick up.

Gives a feeling of safety because of all the metal rather than plastic.

Uses very little oil, even with its age.

I just love this car and never want to give it up.

Faults:

I have replaced all of the brake lines. the master cylinder, radiator hoses a. d the water pump.

General Comments:

I got the car from my grandmother in 2001 and just started driving it this. it is a great car with only 50,000 miles on it.

Faults:

Nothing has really gone wrong with the car. One of the back windows stopped working. The frame broke, but It was driven hard and it can take the abuse.

General Comments:

The car has lots of power.

It will spin at 30 km an hour.

The 305 is one of Chev's best motors, they can out rev a 307 or 350 and they last a lot long and can take a lot more abuse.
