  Trans Went - 1995 Chevrolet Caprice
  By joes12 - January 26 - 6:47 pm

  Born 1995 Died 2011...not too bad considering the mileage was in the upper 100s. Biggest problem was electrical and tuneups,there were oil leaks but what killed it was actually the transmission gears went from trying to maneuver around in the snow up here. Not good in snow either btw,that wheel drive was not cut out for it.

  What was GM Thinking, finally a RWD car that works. - 1991 Chevrolet Caprice
  By drvette - December 19 - 12:17 am

  Dad bought our "91, new, traded in an excellent 82 Caprice that was great also. The vehicle NEVER gave any problems whatsoever Price was some $18k or so, still they command about $5,000 for a nice one on Autotrader, so Edmunds, get your pricing correct..

  One Of My Favorite Cars! - 1991 Chevrolet Caprice
  By Kevin Hoffman - January 22 - 12:17 am

  Bought my Caprice wagon with 50k miles and after five years of ownership have had only a few minor problems. Its a very reliable car. Good power even from the base 5.0 V8 engine. Ride quality from this large rear drive car is pillow soft! I was surprised with the cars handling in winter snowstorms. Despite the rear drive setup, I never ended up stuck at the side of the road! The cars large size and rounded shape always gets attention from onlookers. Kids love the rear facing third seat! Cargo room with the second and third row seats folded is akin to an enclosed pickup truck! Long trips are very comfortable. A great car! Sad to see GM discontinue it.

  GM was dumb to discontinue this line - 1994 Chevrolet Caprice
  By LT1 Fan - June 29 - 11:17 am

  I had 2 Caprices - an ex-cop car and a wagon. Both were equipped with the now- legendary LT1. My Cop car was purchased with 58K on the odo and the only necessary repair during its life was a starter which was cheap and installed in less than a half an hour. Car was bulletproof and with the plethora of bolt-on aftermarket parts was an absolute blast to drive. Engine was flawless and never leaked, missed or failed to start. My wagon, after being beaten for 90K miles road like a Caddy with a simple, $600 overhaul of the entire suspension. My buddys Caprice has over 220K on it and the valve covers have never been removed. Superb cars that GM shouldve kept refining.

  Great older car - 1996 Chevrolet Caprice
  By retirednak - May 15 - 6:45 pm

  My 3rd Caprice. This car has 30000 miles. Just did 3000 mile road trip to Alaska with no problems. Best MPG was 26 mpg at 60-65 mph. Worst mpg was 17mpg at 8-100mph. Too Bad GM doesnt make a full size rear drive car anymore.

  Takes a lickin.. - 1995 Chevrolet Caprice
  By AmericanOwner - May 7 - 5:57 pm

  Bought this car in place of my 74 Caprice Classic (which was solid no problems). After buying this one from a lot, had a few basic maintenance probs but overall its been running solid ever sense. Has close to 200k miles and still rides better than most of my friends 2k late models.

  LTZ is the best version for 1993! - 1993 Chevrolet Caprice
  By JBs LTZ - April 11 - 2:45 pm

  I have driven this car to death. Bought it with 45K used. At 75K, blew the engine but wasnt upset. I was glad! It was covered by my extended warranty! The new engine was great! Now after 150K on the newer engine and 215K on the car it has developed a condition where it eats radiators every 9 months to a year. Its sad. I havent been able to find anyone that can fix it. Some guys said it could be a bad head gasket or even electrical gremlins. I dont know. I want to keep the car but with gas prices out of control I cant afford the gas for this car any longer.

  One of Chevrolets best! - 1993 Chevrolet Caprice
  By Ken - May 13 - 6:38 am

  This is the best car I have had in 33 years of driving. I bought it 3 years old with 90,000 after the police were done with it. Today it has 201,000 miles and is running just as strong as the day I bought it. I have replaced the brake pads twice and the shoes once. At about 100,000 it needed a fuel pump, at 180,000 the idler arm was replaced and then nothing else until over 190,000. Since then it has needed a blower motor, waterpump, raditor, tie rods, lower ball joints and a starter. At about 195,000 it started to leak oil but if I add a bit now and again it will probably go another 70,000. I am looking at Impalas but will keep this as a second car.

  Love it - 1992 Chevrolet Caprice
  By goldvirg01 - November 9 - 5:03 pm

  This is my 2nd Caprice. The 1st was a 91. It has 152,000 miles and rides pefect. Drinks too much gas. I get about a little over 200 miles on a full tank and I use premium gas. But it only drinks like that in the city. Strong motor. Not fast at all, but strong. Will burn rubber. Very heavy car. Fun to drive. I think it is one of the best cars ever made, except for the gas mileage. 91-93 were the best years from my experience.

  Watch maintenance expenses on older cars - 1995 Chevrolet Caprice
  By R - August 16 - 2:14 am

  Opti-spark ignition causes tune up to be $500+ in parts, and 8hrs+ labor. Good thing its got a 100K mile recommended tune up interval. Electronic speedo display prone to failure. AIR pump (smog control device) fails on nearly every car. Interior door panels (esp. drivers) prone to falling apart. However, in spite of this, I absolutely love this car. Drive it 31 miles each way to work, with about 21 MPG highway, for a full size car with 155K miles on it.
