1995 Chevrolet Beretta Base Model 2dr review from North America

Head gasket: 78000 miles. previous owner abused it, was about a 1100$ american repair, but worth it in my opinion.

Fuel pump: 78000 miles. Ran it too long, on low gas, in hot summer. My fault entirely. 500$ repair.

Water pump: 82000 miles. They fail on any car, only cost 80$, no biggie.

Engine mount: 95000 miles. Its second one, first one by previous owner, he abused it. I've been pretty hard on it, has yet to be replaced (need winter tires first)

Alternator: 100000 miles. 130$ My sound system is pretty hard on it.

Drivers side seat is ripping, looking into getting reupholstered. Might replace front seats with GTZ/Z26 model style racing seats.

Door trim now needs replacing after body shop tightened it too tight with my sound system cords underneath it. This is a cheap repair, looking in local junk yards.

I absolutely love this car. It's styling is just right, roomy and comfortable interior. It's built like a tank (my car has been hit by a tow truck and lived). It handles great, but I recommend an upper strut tower brace from GM, improves handling a lot.

There is plenty of performance and styling options available if you know where to look, and its just generally a fun, cheap, and good looking car to own.

It has great power for a 4-cylinder, and gets great gas mileage. Not to mention it does all this while looking good.
