1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic review from North America
"Nice ride at a HIGH price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Radiator (3 times)
-Heater Core (once)
-Misc. things that bother me like: Roof liner falling, extremely sensitive gas gauge etc.
- Finally, the Valve Stem Seals and the carburetor. Both contributed to the complete destruction of the engine in 2003.
-Motor was also getting extremely poor gas mileage (about 12mpg in the city)
General comments?
Slow car, but nice ride. I loved my caprice, but the poorly built engine lead to its destruction. Not satisfied with my GM product and ended up buying a Honda. I would buy one again if I could afford the up-keep, and gas.
