1989 Chevrolet Celebrity review from North America

"Reliable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alternator had a short in it. Drained the battery after about 2 minutes of run time.

Control panel had an issue with switching heat/AC from floor to panel etc.

Had a short in the left blinker at one point.

The fabric on the ceiling doesn't stick anymore, and it's hanging down.

General comments?

I love this car. It was first owned by my Grandma and was treated like a baby on wheels.

V6 engine, air conditioning, cruise control, and a huge trunk ta-boot make this car very worth my $500.

I get annoyed by the fact that the control panel doesn't have a floor/defrost option.

Windshield wipers are a bit old with a slower speed and when you shut them off they want to go one more time, which just wears them out faster.

I have manual windows and door locks. It's the only thing I hate about the car.

I love the bench seat because I like the extra space it provides in the center along with the steering wheel mounted auto transmission. It may be old fashioned, but I enjoy it.

The back seat doesn't have very much room. They could have taken a foot out of the trunk space and made it a bit more roomy. The trunk still would be huge.

I feel like I'm in a steel cage when I drive. Although I don't have ABS brakes or air bags, I feel safe driving it. With its steel frame it may only get 24 mpg hwy, but I'm safe in the knowledge that if I was in an accident with another car, there's would probably end up worse off than mine!
