1982 Chevrolet Citation Reviews, Pricing & Specs

It was an X-11 model. Yeah I know it's still a Citation, but some of us out there knew what they really were. The X-11 option was a race prepared option produced for the SCCA race series. Chevrolet made the cowl inductuion functional and even went as far as giving it a special water pump with teflon bearings to reduce resistance and produce a few extra HP. Chevrolet must have gotten it right because X-11's dominated thier class for several years. On a dry twisty road this car was a thrill to drive. It isn't as composed as my 944 when driven to the limit but will easily turn times as good if not better on a tight road course. To this day whenever I drive past a used car lot I can't help but search the back rows in hopes of finding another X-11.Jul 24, 2009

It's ghetto fabulous, LOL. Honestly, I thought it wasn't a bad car for $500 bucks. I needed a car fast, and I found it on Craig's List. The body was solid, only a couple small spots of surface rust, which was pretty impressive for a car that was 25 years old in New England. It needs work, however, I had to have some work done within a couple weeks of getting the car to replace corroded pipes coming off the radiator with hoses. The pipes were just crumbling. Also had the brakes go, so those needed to be redone. I hadn't driven it much over the winter, as I carpooled to work with my boyfriend to save gas. Speaking of which, I didn't do too badly with the Citation there, either. I never calculated it exactly, but I figure I had to be getting somewhere around 25mpg. Jul 10, 2008
