Caprice Classic
| | Model of the car: | Caprice Classic | | | General comments: | I know this is the Lumina listings but this is the only spot avaliable to put a Caprice (its similar to the Lumina anyway I guess)My dad bought it 6 years ago as and kept it for me to drive. Its been good to me but not to say its perfect (nothing is). Hasnt given us major problems or demanded huge expense so reliability is ok except for the minor things. Basically its average. I dont really like the styling but I have taken care of it regardless so it looks good. I hope to replace it with a 1992-1997 5sp Honda Accord. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Stodgy image (poor old man's car who can afford a Buick), low (18 mpg) gas mileage, GM cut corners in build quality. Not as reliable as a Honda Accord, more body roll than a Richard Simmons "fan", transmission sometimes shifts in and out of gears as if it cant make up its "mind", A | | | Previous car: | 1982 S10 pickup--310K miles and time to get rid of it (should have done that at 290K miles), same quality, same as far as interior holding up after all this time. However reliability is spotty, leaks oil like crazy, its a truck so it doesnt really compare |
