1993 Chevrolet Beretta GTZ review from North America
"Smart Buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Main ABS unit was replaced (before I got the car), Turn signal lever malfunctions sometimes. This is a very common problem on Corsicas and Berettas. Lifters started ticking at 126,000 miles and I had 2 replaced. Motor mounts have started making some noise and this is also one of the more common problems with these cars. Timing belt replaced at 127,000 miles (general maintenance)
General comments?
-It handles very well considering it's front wheel drive.
-It has very comfortable seating.
-Anyone that knows anything about these cars will know that you can find parts for them anywhere!
-I really haven't had too many problems with the car. It has enough power and so far it has been pretty reliable.
-For the price of these cars, they can't be beat!
-The 3.1L engine is a great one. I know another guy who has 183,000 miles on his Beretta with a 3.1 and it's still running good. They're good engines. Maybe that's why they still use them today!
