1987 Chevrolet Sprint review from North America
"It has been a great bargain for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Sprint now uses about 1 litre of oil every 3 weeks as opposed to 1 litre every six months when I first got it.
I have had to replace the muffler, a new drivers side floor and few odds and ends, but nothing major.
General comments?
I find it to be extremely reliable and cost efficient to run. During the summer I have achieved 54 miles per gallon which drops to about 36 miles per gallon in the winter. I track the mileage at every fill-up so I have a running record.
