1990 Chevrolet Opala Comodoro review from Brazil
"A very bad car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew twice.
Transmission replaced twice.
Crankshaft replaced three times.
Drivetrain replaced once.
Steering column fitted twice.
Alternator replaced five times.
Engine overheated four times.
Brake disc pads replaced six times.
All times I took the the car to the dealer they did poor services and collected a very expensive price for it.
I take my car to be fixed only at independent garages.
General comments?
Worst car I have ever driven.
The engine doesn't have enough power to push the car with agility.
The handling is terrible, a car with very poor stability.
The brakes don't have enough power to stop the car.
The styling is ugly.
The cabin is uncomfortable, especially in the rear seats.
The size of the boot is not large enough and became limited with the GNV cylinder.
In general, an unsafe and not pleasurable car to drive.
