1986 Chevrolet Celebrity Eurosport review from North America
"It's one of the best old cars out there!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got it the steering column had to be replaced.
Seats seams are starting to come apart just a little.
The coolant line leaked somewhat, but was easily replaced.
General comments?
This car is an amazing first car. It handles really well in the mountains, just don't try to take hairpin turns above 30 MPH.
There's a surprising amount of room inside.
The mileage is pretty good. I'm getting about 24 MPG combined city and mountains, and I live WAY up there.
The transmission has never been replaced, and is only now getting a little sluggish.
