Customer : service? <VW> Yes. </VW> The 1992 Beretta: Smooth tranny? No. Power? Well. Torque. It has nice torque, and everyone likes torque. Handling? Aye. Handles rather well for a GM FWD sport coupe. Fuel Economy? Hardly. The 3spd makes the 3.1L drink it up. Comfort? Aye. I find it a comfortable car with everything in the right position. Image? Naw. If I were the type to drive a car for the image, it'd be a 1960's muscle car. Fun-value? Ya. Ease of basic maintenance? Nein. The engine bay is so cramped it's not even funny. Resale value? Nope. Customer service? Nope. However, "price of parts" is a big reason for me too. They're cheap and plentiful.
