1993 Chevrolet Beretta GTZ review from North America
"GM junk!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to start?
It rattled like a baby's toy from day one.
At about 6000 miles the steering wheel started smoking badly due to a short.
Starter gave out at 40,000
Alternator gave out at 33,000
Water pump at 50,000 and the second at 70,000
Radiator at 60,000
Numerous water hoses throughout its life... they just ruptured... especially a really small one in the back of the motor..??? Go figure.
Did I mention the rattles?
Numerous electrical problems.
The radio/CD player never worked right from 10,000 miles on... in and out of the shop.
General comments?
Other than a maintenance nightmare... the positives..
It looked good
It sounded good
It accelerated good
The seats were comfortable
