1985 Chevrolet Sprint review from North America
"Best cheap car ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Almost nothing!
Replaced the water pump at about 160,000 miles. Even the brake pads went about 180,000 miles!
Put on seat covers at about 180,000 as well.
Everything else is original.
General comments?
I still get 55 mpg in this car at 214,000 miles. Just incredible.
I do all my own maintenance and take excellent care of the car -- that's why it has lasted so long.
It's extremely cheaply made, but somehow it works. These years were made in Japan -- later Metro's were made in Canada.
