2004 Chevrolet Epica LS review from North America
"A real gas guzzler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Runs well, but you can see the gas gauge go down as you drive. I get 14L/100 km. Car is rated at 11L/100 km. It gets same mileage in city as some of Chev's large vehicles. Very poor mileage... dealer says its due to twin overhead cam engine. It gets the same mileage as a Lincoln. I contacted GM and haven't heard back. I would advise against purchasing this car unless you are on a gas expense account or own a gas station.
General comments?
Very poor gas mileage.
Nice looking car.
Has great options, but lacks a panic alarm, which is useful in find your car in a shopping plaza.
Lights have to be turned on, no low washing fluid warning, doors don't lock automatically.
