Message-ID: <8871@ucbvax.ARPA> Date: Mon, 8-Jul-85 10:55:14 EDT Article-I.D.: ucbvax.8871 Posted: Mon Jul 8 10:55:14 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 9-Jul-85 06:16:02 EDT Reply-To: tamir@ucbvax.UUCP (Yuval Tamir) Organization: University of California at Berkeley Lines: 20 Xref: watmath net.auto:7276 net.consumers:2535 I am considering buying a 1983 or 1984 Chevrolet Citation or Pontiac Pheonix 4-door hatchback with a V6 engine. Consumer Reports and similar publications recommend avoiding these cars due to poor reliability. However, I really like their size, the hatchback style, and the availability of the V6 engine. Due to their poor "ratings", the prices of these cars are rather low. I would be interested in hearing from people who own X-cars. How bad are they ? Ignoring the reliability issue, are you generally satisfied with the comfort and performance ? Any special problems ? I will summarize the results in net.auto.
