1988 Chevrolet Nova review from North America
"Reliable, Gas-sipping sportster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning quit being cold.
Lining fell down from ceiling.
Developed shaking at high speeds that could not be corrected by balancing, alignment, new axle cores, struts or other replacements.
General comments?
Manual transmission is a breeze to use.
Gas mileage is around 50MPG hwy.
Very reliable, with most problems being routine wear or user error.
Love the power locks and cruise control options, but wish power windows also came with it.
Not much power going up a steep incline, especially when carrying weight.
Maneuvers like a sports car, not a four door sedan.
