  Chevrolet Caprice Classic 9c1 - Frequent Stall Issues - 1993 Chevrolet Caprice
  By mpfi - October 3 - 12:18 pm

  * This review is mainly intended for ex-police cruiser fans, Chevy Caprice lovers, Car restorer or Collector. The car is great however, after many years of trouble-free operation it started having some stall issues.

  Big Boat, Nice Float - 1993 Chevrolet Caprice
  By art - July 22 - 2:36 am

  I have owned this old river barge for nearly a year and love it! I explain it, "as if you were driving the couch". Having put 20k on in 10 months, I have few complaints. All the mileage one could expect, probably more for a 305ci, river barge. I get a consistent 22mpg running my route, (450 miles weekly), & as high as 27 on a road trip.

  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.

  The "Beached Whale" Lives On! - 1993 Chevrolet Caprice
  By Richard - May 31 - 8:17 pm

  While getting up there at 142,000 miles and not the best at gas mileage (15 MPG city & 21 highway), this Caprice Classic 9C1 is not ready to retire just yet! The back seating area ensures that the driver and front passenger would never have their rear passengers knees bumping into their backs. This vehicle has taken most of its miles in big-city urban driving, and it has shown remarkable dependency. On the highway, its size has given the driver a sense of security while cruising between massive trucks. An unexpected additional safety factor is that many speeders slow up when coming up from behind, because they think its an unmarked trooper car!

  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.

  1993 Caprice - 1993 Chevrolet Caprice
  By Major Nairn - August 28 - 2:00 am

  I have owned 2 Chevy Caprices and they are very reliable and a real workhorse of a car. These models are the cars you keep for years and years because they can handle the high miles. For older folkes looking for reliability and safety you cant beat a Caprice. These cars are fast becoming collectors items as Chevrolet made its last Caprice in 1996. These cars are favorites for middle Eastern countries (where fuel prices are not an issue) as cabs and police cars and are bought in lots of 10-20 at a time and shipped to their respective countries.

  want a great value!?!? - 1993 Chevrolet Caprice
  By bowtie 666 - April 19 - 2:00 am

  this is my 11th caprice of varying years, this is the 6th i have owned with the 5.0 (305 cu. inch) i honestly can say that after the late 80s any of the TBI (throttle body injection) cars are still the best as you can work on them in your yard, they get great mileage (mine have averaged 15- 16 city and 24++++ on the road, even as high as the low 30s with a stiff tailwind @ 65 with the cruise set) if GM had half a brain trust they would go back to building these things!
