1987 Chevrolet Sprint review from North America
"Awesome car for gas, but bad on highway driving and poor on engine."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats are really worn.
Recent Problems with Wiring and Fuse that starts the car. I went thru a box of fuses in one morning.
Has a nice size oil leak. Loses oil in a month and have to refill with 5 quarts.
New tires are hard to find because they are 12" tires and most tire company's don't make them anymore.
My car doesn't handle on the highway very well at all. It shakes at 70mph.
Head lights aren't that bright for night driving.
The windshield wipers are a little slow on high in a heavy down pour.
My air hasn't worked since the day I got it.
The radio doesn't work either.
I have no right side door mirror. I'm not sure I ever had one. It doesn't look like there is one missing.
General comments?
AWESOME GAS MILEAGE!!! I can fill my car with $15 on empty and go for a week/week and a half.
I like the hatch back and the seats fold down for easy use. (I'm a housekeeper and it works with the vacuum and supplies needed.)
There are no blind spots.
