1998 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"Might not be too bad if you live on flat land"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/c went out when purchased and bad flex pipe.
Oil pan gasket blew 4 months later.
Motor blew up 3 weeks later.
Needed a front end alignment.
Changed flex pipe 3 times never fixed.
General comments?
This truck is easy on the eyes, but hard on the wallet.
I love the style, but starts to fall apart and is very underpowered. It don't get that great of mpg and I dread hills due to no power. The flex pipe sounds horrible when it goes out and is hard to replace since they all go bad. The handling isn't too bad its pretty accurate. There's not much acceleration in 3rd gear and shifts kinda hard.
