1989 Chevrolet Beretta GT review from North America
"Good car if taken care of"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car for $1,200 eight years ago. Since then I have had the paint or the clear coat come off in spots. Last year I had the ignition switch replaced, because I could not turn off the engine when it was put in park. The dash has cracked, the driver seat bracket that holds it to the floor broke. The door panels have also started to come apart. Last, but not least, the digital instrument cluster has just started to have problems by not being responsive. I know this sounds like a lot of things that have went wrong. However this has been a dependable car. It has never left me or any of my family stranded. Even tho I have had to repair all these things, (except the instrument cluster, I am still trying to figure that one out) I will keep this car as long as I can. It is fun to drive, a lot of power, and it just looks good!
General comments?
If you can get one of the GTs that has been took care of get it, you will have fun with it.
