The car's ABS light came on while driving and the ABS activated during most stops. A simple and very quick cleaning of the sensors solved this problem, which has not recurred. I bet a lot of people pay for sensor replacement if taken to the shop. But 9 times out of 10 I bet it is just these sensors getting dirty.
Also put had a new Cat, muffler, and oxygen sensor put on for $150.
I picked up this car for $3000 from a car lot. I must say this is a lot of car for that kind of money. Being that the exterior and interior are perfect I would have no problems paying for a new engine if I had too. ABS and a Driver's Air Bag are standard on these cars from '92 up. So you take those items, a great looking car that includes ground effects, tail spoiler, and matching painted 16 inch wheels. (All standard on GTZ). A great looking interior complete with racing seats, power windows, locks, cruise, AC, sunroof, split folding rear seats... (most of these are standard on GTZ). And under the hood you get a Brute of a 4 cylinder engine. The Quad 4 motor doesn't seem to match the car well, being that the interior and exterior look so civilized. The Quad 4 is great for normal city driving, but get on it and it creates quite a racaous. But you are rewarded with generous pull well past 6000 rpms. Also, use premium fuel and high performance spark plugs and expect to get 30+ MPG. The V6 GTZ is much more somber in its delivery. It is very capable, but there are of course trade offs. The v6 is not available with a 5-speed, which is a big negative for anyone looking for a performance oriented ride. Also the V6 has considerably lower fuel economy numbers. Last thing I will mention is the suspension. Which is quite stiff. It should please anyone looking for some performance in the corners. It has no problems holding the road.
In conclusion, I feel this is a great car for a younger person because it excels in styling, performance, and safety.
This review is incorrect. The V6 did, in fact, come with a 5-speed option.
No your incorrect, the GTZ NEVER came with a 5spd. 3.1L engine.
Check out beretta. net if you don't believe me.
The Beretta GTZ did in-fact come with a 5-speed transmission, with the 3.1L V-6 engine.
Actually, the v6 GTZ's absolutely did not have the 5 speed option. The author of the review is correct. I run a Beretta oriented website, and I can most assuredly say there was no 5 speed v6 GTZ, not from the factory anyways. There have however been owners who have performed manual transmission swaps.
No you are incorrect. the GTZ never came with a 3.1 5-speed, but the GT's did.
I am a longtime beretta enthusiast. Anyone who says the 3.1 gtz's came with 5 speeds are fighting a losing argument.
No V6 5 speed GTZ. No auto GTZ with quad four. Only a 3.1 with auto in GTZ form. But the GT is a different story. We have a 1990 Beretta 3.1 5 speed GT.
Who cares Beretta's are lame. Mine pretty much fell apart.
As an owner of a 1991 V6 GTZ back in the day, I am with the group that goes with saying there was never a 5spd option with the V6. I know for sure in 90 and 91 as I have the original brochure books for both years. If you doubt those of us standing by that, just go pick up a repair manual at the library or simply go to a dealer. You'll see the GTZ never came with a 5spd mated to the V6. If you still doubt then go show us proof.
