1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic review from North America
"Beautiful/fun/work horse/great/reliable/lots of power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car, it needed new exhaust manifolds on both sides of the engine block. Other than that, are no major problems with the car.
General comments?
This car is just an awesome piece of machinery.
It is my transportation, my pick up truck, my date car, and my hot rod all in one.
I love driving this thing its got full bench seats front and back, I got the car from a family member who drove it over 200,000 miles and this thing still runs like new.
I haul everything from contracting equipment to Christmas trees in it.
I have no complaints about the engine, its powerful and can haul anything. When I go camping in the winter, I usually hook a heavy trailor to it. It still has no problem accelerating up hills.
This car is very reliable and safe. Its basically a tank with a lot of power under your foot.
