1990 Chevrolet Beretta GTZ review from North America
"A comfortable, convenient and fast, high performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint is peeling due to common primer problem and previous owner washing it with a pressure washer.
Broke motor mount and strut plates auto-crossing. (not the car's fault)
General comments?
180hp make the car super quick, it is a rocket off the line.
Handles well. Had to replace the struts when I broke them racing, (did not upgrade), and it is fairly tight now. Minimal body roll, quite flat.
Not enough lateral support in the seats, but that is common in American cars.
Interior is comfortable for long trips and there is plenty of room in the back seats.
Cruise control is excellent, as per usual in a GM car.
Have all the power options and they work very well.
Stock Getrag 5-speed is very nice. Smooth shifts and short throws.
Sharp looking car. The stock skirts and spoiler create a really sporty look on a fairly plain car.
Gas mileage is not bad. Usually 25mpg.
