"The greatest car I've ever owned, period"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had to replace the alternator and battery, which was about $130 combined.

Regular maintenance, like brakes, air filters, fuel filters etc. All were easy to replace by myself.

When the catalytic converter went out, I opted to have a straight pipe with glass packs put on, which only cost me about $90.00. Then it sounded NICE!

General comments?

After struggling to keep an 85 Ford Ranger (my very first car) running, I decided to fork out 2,500 for a better car. I was sold the minute I took the Beretta for a test drive.

On a curvy, bumpy road, I took the car up to 60 MPH, and felt completely comfortable behind the wheel. It handled like a DREAM!

It got great gas mileage, and was more dependable than I knew at the time.

All of the maintenance was done by me (a complete amateur at mechanics), and everything was very easily accessible under the hood and under the car.

Considering the mileage, the Beretta was the perfect car in the world. It ran without a hitch, and I ran it into the ground -- I went EVERYWHERE in this car, and no distance was too far. I've heard of many Berettas going up to 300,000 when well-maintained.

This is, by far, the greatest car I've ever owned, and if given the opportunity to own another one, I'd take it in a heartbeat. One of the biggest mistakes of my life was selling my 95 Beretta. Take care of this car, and you'll have it as long as you want it.

I Love my 91 Manual Beretta! I have 286,000 miles on it. it has the original transmission, engine, shocks, gas tank, this thing is a master piece! Ill never give up this car ever, the only things that have been replaced are the main things you do replace... brake pads, oil, spark plugs, and a battery. My dad bought this car when I was a little kid, and I always loved it, so my plan is to fully restore this car now. I wish GM would have discared the Cavilier, instead of the Beretta. Although the Cavilier is a good car, also. The Beretta was the best care ever made, since the 57 chevy.
