1988 Chevrolet S-10 review from North America
"Highly reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter went out.
The hydraulic clutch system began leaking badly and has now been completely replaced.
Both the heater and a/c do not work.
The rubber seals on both doors seem to have shrunk.
General comments?
Not much power at all out of the little 4 cylinder engine. It has a hard time maintaining speed up hills. But, it's not bad for over 170,000 miles!
I use the truck daily to commute in. It drives well and never leaves me stranded.
Once the heater is fixed I'll have nothing to complain about, especially since I only paid $250 for it!
