1993 Chevrolet Beretta GTZ review from North America
"An incredibly fun car - Expensive, but fun!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car, fully knowing that it was 7 years old at the time of purchase and I was expecting the problems that I've had.
- My head gasket blew at 82,700 miles.
- My alternator died.
- My Quad 4 motor has internal problems and is being replaced.
General comments?
As I said, I bought this car knowing it was a high maintenance car. I don't like the repair bills, but when the car is running, it is incredibly fun.
With its strong 180 HP engine and 5 speed manual transmission this car can EASILY outrun and out maneuver many of the cars on the road.
The interior is pretty comfortable and is aging well.
Since my motor has now died, I'm replacing it with a race built Quad4. I plan on keeping this car for a long time!
