1988 Chevrolet Celebrity review from North America
"All in all, a very good used car value."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner sprang a leak after 2 years operating fine.
General comments?
This is a station wagon. It is slightly heavier than the sedan & has a longer wheelbase so the ride is more like a "big car".
This car was a pool car for Colorado Fish & game, so it had good maintenance. Engine ran smoothly, 30+ miles per gallon highway cruising 60-65 with A/C off. 27+ with A/C on.
These 4 cylinder fuel-injected engines have amassed a reputation for economy, dependability and longevity.
The bench seat back is fixed angle, and a bit too "reclined" for my taste.
