There are just too many to list....
I owned one of these, Isuzu diesel engine. Ran OK, nothing special. The car was a simple little RWD turd, but did what it needed to do.

Chevrolet's best kept secret...

I owned one from 1982 until 2004,gave it to one of my employees with 575,000 miles - NEVER failed to start. Purchased @ 11 months old for $2750 from a gal who couldn't stand it anymore.

Seat was good for about 20 miles, then call your chiropractor...
a pair of Recaros would be absolutely necessary...

48 mpg if I beat on it, 52 if not...

0-60 = make an appointment a week ahead of time. Great on fuel.

Hey, you can say you drive a diesel Vette - that's pretty cool!
