1988 Chevrolet Celebrity review from North America
"The perfect car when looks and style aren't the most important concern."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner compressor froze up completely at about 43,000 miles.
General comments?
What a great car! Other than the A/C compressor freezing up, nothing else has gone wrong with this car. It always starts, it great on gas, comfortable, and reliable. I don't have to worry about parking it anywhere or anyone stealing it. This car has no real options, other that cruise, tilt, a/c and rallye wheels. It has decent acceleration, very nice riding on the highway, and good on gas. It goes through the snow with out any problem and without snow tires. It is an extremely easy car to work on and all the parts are cheap!! The a/c compressor cost me all of $68 and I put it in myself with no problems. Too bad them don't make them anymore!
