1998 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"Great little gas saving truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than regular maintenance.
Tie rods at 100,000.
General comments?
I love this car. The cab is a bit small but it is usually just me in the car so it is not a problem. The catalytic converter has been going since I bought the car but I just drive it regardless because it is not too bad yet. I abuse that car and it still does not give me problems.
Since I have owned my S10, I have done regular maintenance like brakes, oil changes, and a battery. But other than that I just had a problem with the tie rods. The local auto parts store wanted sixty a piece, but I got them on a wholesale website for about eleven a piece. I did the repairs myself and saved a lot of money. This truck has never left me stranded or caused me any grief. I would recommend this car to anyone.
It also get amazing mileage since the truck is only a little four cylinder, or as I like to call it a sideways cavalier motor, it gets about 28 on the freeway and twenty one in the city. It is not meant for hauling. just because it has a hitch on the back doesn't you can put a trailer on it.
