Pros

Has a good engine

Cons

It's difficult to work on. Worst car I've ever fixed. Breaks are not the best.

Beretta Review. — First car I've owned personally. It's held up alright, but damn is it a pain in the ass to fix. My dad is a mechanic, and it's one of the most difficult cars he's ever fixed. The brakes are complete crap. I drive pretty conservatively, but they don't last long and they're not very strong even right after you change them. It seems to have a good engine though.

Paint quality

Love The Car. Bought A Used One Instead Of A New Car. — I love the body style and the sporty look of the Beretta. I Hate the fact that GM used horrible primer and most of the cars look horrible and GM won't do anything about it. GM didn't take alot of pride in making this car but I think they are well worth fixing them up. I love the Beretta!

aging

My Baby — Good performance for an older GM car, build quality isnt the best due to age and all. Berettas seem to be fairly reliable and cheap cars. Good for starter cars or for project cars. six five four three two one

Drivetrain will outlive my interest in this car

Cons

Was an imported american rust bucket (underneath)

Solid Transportation — With an engine out of a 2003 Gran Am GT, this thing is faster then the average Beretta. But its still got a Granny Tranny and is better suited to the highway. Good thing thats what I'm using it for, commuting 200km every couple weeks.

Paid for and stereo sounds awesome.

Cons

Doesn't get the best gas mileage and its to small for me.

Badass Little Car — I bought this car for a college beater. Its been a good car for me. The rims were on it when i got it and all i added was an infinity sound system. Its one sexy machine.

Nice Handling — I love to drive my Z26. The only negative is how hard it is to work on the engine. I guess that's what one has to expect from a V6 in such a small engine compartment.
