1987 Chevrolet Sprint 4 dr Sedan review from North America
"Well-built, dependable and a hoot to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the gas tank.
I had to replace the front brake pads.
I had to replace the manual transmission. However this was my fault, not that of the car. I allowed the fluid level to become low and it overheated.
The interior is cheap and the seats are uncomfortable.
Body rust is a problem with my 87 Sprint.
I've had some electrical problems, especially with the interior lights.
General comments?
This little car is a hoot to drive.
Car handles easily and parks like a dream.
Wonderful mileage and adequate pep.
Dependable, well built car that starts easily in cold weather.
