Enjoyed driving 20 miles to and from work and occasional errands. Great gas mileage at 30-35mpg interstate driving. Not much cargo space but had enough interior room for 4 people comfortable. My wife loved driving it around to get groceries and to work. Wish that it had more power though. Interstate overtakes were slightly difficult at 65mph.May 15, 2015

It's not a horrible car, but not the worlds' greatest, either. Over-all, it's been a dependable car, but we HAVE had issues. One of the most annoying, as well as most frequent, is with the anti-theft system. For whatever reason, it likes to lock us out. This is easily fixed, as it just requires turning the car off, removing the key, replacing the key, turning to the run position (not all the way to start), and waiting for the anti-theft light to turn off. It's easy, but it usually takes at least 10 minutes to reset itself. Handling is good, acceleration is decent, braking is good. Most of the repairs it has needed have been self-repairs, which is a positive. It can be fun to find things such as fuses, as there are three completely separate fuse boxes (one on both passenger and drivers side dash, one under the hood. The one under the hood is where you'll find your cigarette lighter/power point fuse, lolol). It's a comfortable car to ride in, and we've always enjoyed riding in it. Over-all, we're pleased with this vehicle.May 09, 2011

The rear end is a ford 9" narrowed and fitted with Cadillac disc brakes and air ride , 3:55 / 1 gear ratio /w 33x21.5x15 Mickey sportsman tires . The front end is Mustang II with rack and pinion.

Known problem with the timing chain jumping out...I wasn't told up front about this possibility. My wife's car, so I'm not sure when it happened or the conditions, but I now have a $2100 repair bill to put a used engine in--private mechanic. Clements, the dealer, said they'd be glad to put in a new engine for $4700...go figure. Also had trouble with the control yoke for the w/wiper and turn signals. Fixed that myself because a replacement part was $170 more than I could afford.Nov 25, 2008

Well built, hard to destroy. This car is built like a tank. It's easy to maintain, although the oil filter is hard to remove and replace. It dirties easily, but it cleans well too.Jul 06, 2008

What users have asked
What can be causing the vibrations??
I have a 04 Chevy Classic 2.2L. Mileage about 158000. The car has been a little stressful. The car drives fine it speeds up and brakes just fine, it only vibrates pretty bad when I'm in drive at a stop light and also when I'm reversing. I took it to chevy dealership and they fixed on if the o2 sensors. They said the engine looked fine, just recommended me to get spark plugs for the vibrating. The check engine light was off for one day. I got the spark plugs replaced. But the poor idling didn't stop. I took it back to chevy and they fixed a wire and the check engine light came off for 3 days but came back. I read about it might being dirty air filter or fuel injectors or even the gas cap. Changed the air filter and gas cap but no luck. I used some fuel injector cleaner (seafoam) in the gas tank then some gas but started hearing a new noise when accelerating that wasn't happening before. I took it to AutoZone to see if i got any codes. And i got a PO455 code that indicated it was a large leak in the evap system. I took it back to chevy but they want me to pay another diagnosis to check out the problem. I don't want to keep wasting money. Anyone can help by telling me what i need to do to find the culprit myself.

How to disable or reset the anti theft system??
I have a 2004 Chevy Classic. I just bought it last year, 174,000 miles. The first time the anti theft system malfunctioned I thought it was my fuel pump, starter, or out of gas. I know nothing about cars! After noticing my blinking theft system light, a quick googled search showed me how to reset the system. (I used the-- turn key to "on" leave for 10 minutes until light stops blinking, turn back to "off" position, then start. worked like a charm) I've gotten used to running out to start my car 10 minutes before actually having to leave. (this happens a lot!) Last weekend my theft system light came on, but was not flashing and would just stay on. I tried the 10 minute reset, the lock/ unlock, something about messing with the radio power button. Nothing worked! I decided to let it be and took my husbands car. After a few hours of not trying, my husband went out and started messing with the power locks, and radio, put the key in the ignition and the damn thing started right up!! Again today this happened. After spending 2 1/2 hours in the parking lot of work (tried disconnecting the battery, leaving it for 15 minutes then hooking it back up) I had my husband make the 30 minute drive to pick me up. Okay! after that long winded explanation I need to know how to get my car started!! I'm fed up and just want to sell it! Any suggestions on anything I haven't tried yet. I'm very confused as to why my light went from blinking when this happened, to a solid light??

2004 chevy classic Stalling
My 2004 classic stalled on me twice in one day. It has stalled only once last week. For a while now the rpms will rise by them self when I am at a stop in Drive. The rpms will go from 6/700 to about 1500 then slowly back down, sometimes staying at 1000rpms. This will some times happen while I am in park. On colder mornings and afternoons when it is below zero the car starts at 1500pms. I dont know if this matters or not but when I am stopped at a light and the car revs the car will lunge forward and the car will some times rev high when I turn on the defrost. Today I stopped at the mailbox and put the car into park it died. Then I started the car, I was almost in front of my home when the car died while in Drive. I tried to start it and it would not. The battery light and and the engine oil pressure light came on. This is a first. I let the car sit for 10/15 minuets then it started right back up.
