1996 Chevrolet Caprice Classic review from North America
"A great all around car with great performance!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just recently purchased this gleaming beauty from an older woman, but will have to flush the cooling system and replace the thermostat as it is not putting heat out. Car looks and drives like it just came off the showroom floor.
General comments?
This is my second fully loaded Caprice and by far my most favorite car that I have owned. The performance of this 2-ton automobile is unbelievable. I love putting the gas pedal down and feeling this car jump. Between both Caprices I have owned, maintenance has been minimum (i.e., oil changes, tire rotation...). It also gets great gas mileage, which I average around 26 on the highway. And a person can't beat the comfort that the Caprice offers as well. This Caprice will be kept as a collector car; preserve it as a piece of great automobile history.
Any good recommended websites to purchase spare parts?
Sad that GM discontinue the Caprice!
