1994 Chevrolet Beretta Base Coupe review from North America
"Wish I had bought something else"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the battery 2 weeks after buying.
Replaced 2 parking lights one month after buying.
Horn doesn't work, even after taking it to two places to have it "fixed".
Driver's seat track broken, seat would not stay in place, kept rolling back (bad thing when you're on the highway).
Many things that were not the cars fault: backed into by old couple, dented the driver's side door. Backed into a garage, ripped the driver's side mirror off. Pulled over by police for having "loud exhaust" which was on the car when I bought it.
General comments?
This car is cheap and economical.
Slow to respond, but of course, it is now 7 years old.
Front seats are very uncomfortable; flat and offer no back or leg support.
