  I really should get rid of it but I love it too much! - 1993 Chevrolet Beretta
  By mizzicah - April 18 - 9:26 pm

  First of all this website wouldnt let me select my kind of berretta. Mine is a 6 cylinder 3.1 liter. I received this car as a graduation gift from high school... in 1995. It is now 2011 and its still going strong. I gotta say though that I loaned it to my friends to drive for a week through dusty corn fields in Illinois and the cabin air has never been the same. I just end up opening up the windows more often in the summer and dressing warmer in the winter. Also the engine has slight hesitation when going up certain hills. It has done this for 4 years now with no more symptoms increasing. This car is rock solid.

  I miss my Beretta! - 1996 Chevrolet Beretta
  By Andielion - October 21 - 2:00 am

  I had my Beretta as a first car for about 8 years until it was just recently totaled. It was an incredibly smooth ride and had very little maintenance issues. It leaked water into the car the whole time I had it, but that did not matter because its reliability easily canceled out that minor problem. I would suggest a Chevy Beretta to anyone!

  My Beretta - 1991 Chevrolet Beretta
  By Mae - June 8 - 5:15 pm

  I bought my Beretta used 6 months ago. With one previous owner, it is still in terrific shape. Though it has a decent number of miles on it, it is very reliable and fun to drive. I really appreciate the speed and acceleration. Very few problems so far. With new tires, a new paint job, and a little chrome, my Beretta easily compares to any new car.

  My best car yet. - 1995 Chevrolet Beretta
  By James - May 4 - 11:10 am

  This is the best car that I have ever had. Rides great and I have not had to put money into it. I get average fuel mileage with it.

  260,000 miles and still going - 1991 Chevrolet Beretta
  By Sue - October 9 - 10:05 am

  I bought this car used with 19,000 miles on it. This car has served me well over the years. A few cons are the front interior fabric did not hold up well & the wiring in the steering column caught on fire once and had to have the switch for the lights & turn signal replaced, also had to replace the alternator and battery 3 times. Even with its age & mileage, this car still performs well & handles as good as the day I bought it. I also have a 2004 Chevy Impala which is a comfortable car, but at 110,000 miles started having transmission slippage issues. Too bad the Impalas transmission isnt on par with the 1991 Berettas.

  Very Strong Running Car - 1996 Chevrolet Beretta
  By 1996Berettaguy90 - August 27 - 1:16 am

  I have had this car for 3+ years now, and it is running strong. Has the typical engine knock that all 3100 SFI V6s make, most of them come like that from the factory. This car has made it through 3 minnesota winters, and has come with minor repairs done, mainly to the cooling system. Have gone through an alternator, that is a typical repair in 3100s. This car is constantly put under torture due to my lead-foot driving, and it still runs great. Bought this with 167,000 miles about 4 years ago, and $850 for a car that lasts for 20,000 miles and still runs great is definitely worth it. Perfect first car. Low maintenance costs. I plan to drive this car until it gives up, then rebuild it.

  So sad to see it go - 1991 Chevrolet Beretta
  By Julie - July 12 - 3:16 pm

  I bought my 91 Beretta in 1995, and other than the usual maintenance stuff and a new alternator some years ago, it has required very little repair. It has been completely reliable during some brutal Chicago winters, always starting up immediately in the mornings. Unfortunately, the power steering fluid is leaking and the repair will cost more than this 17- year-old car is worth now. But up until a few weeks ago, this was an outstanding car. I really got my moneys worth!

  Loved that car - 1994 Chevrolet Beretta
  By Sweet - June 26 - 4:39 am

  Bought this car with 166,000 km on it and drove it to around 277 km. Great mileage and power for days with the 3.1. This car took me everywhere and took a beating. Most reliable car I have ever had. Would start in -40 even after sitting for a month. Broke the signal off and very rare it would smoke from the hazard switch. Even with that much mileage it would put you back in your seat. Never burned any oil and no engine problems from brand new. Car sounded great. After you get used to the brake light always on.

  148K and still going! - 1996 Chevrolet Beretta
  By Joel - May 29 - 4:21 pm

  My Z26 has 148K miles on it and it keeps going. She has every options available. I bought my Beretta from my son for $600 with 140K on it. He bought for $450 and changed the upper intake gasket. We changed the water pump before I started driving it. I keep an eye on the coolant level still because it still leaks. I drive it 60 miles one way for work. I have been averaging 30MPG with mostly hwy driving. This car is quick, reliable, and is giving me great MPGs. Gas is at $4.10 a gal in IL now and you cant beat getting that kind of gas mileage out of a sporty and well appointed car. I will drive her to the ground.

  SWZ26s review - 1996 Chevrolet Beretta
  By SWZ26 - September 5 - 5:05 pm

  Excellent car! And I have owned 4 in the past. Now I own a 1996 Z26 and it is beautiful car. I recently lost my 2002 Chevy Cavalier in a accident and it was a total lost. This car rides so smooth and the seats are so comfortable. I would recommend this car to anyone. It is a well made car and stands the test of time.
