Chevrolet "Caprice" - a bright representative of the American automobile industry of the 90s

Chevrolet "Caprice Classic" is a real highway liner, since the length of this car is more than five meters. In America, such machines are called full-size, which means "full-size". One such car is Chevrolet "Caprice", withdrawn from production in 1996.

In appearance, the car looks quite solid. For its dimensions, it differs in neatness, as well as with a "licked" body, which, with such dimensions, plays an important role in aerodynamics. On the road Chevrolet "Caprice" looks massive and somewhat rude. It is unusual to look relatively small wheels, but this is just a visual illusion.

The car's interior is very spacious. Behind, as well as in front, there are two places. The width of the seats is pretty decent and is about 55 centimeters. The salon is four-seater, although Chevrolet "Caprice" can accommodate 6 people - the same as in American cars until the 90's. A high level of noise insulation is achieved by attaching the body to the frame of the car.

The Chevrolet "Caprice" is huge. Due to the fuel tank located underneath it, the cargo compartment is wide and flat. The volume of the trunk is 580 liters. Completely download it is not worth it. After all, the car suspension is very soft, and the car sags when filling the trunk by 3/4. In front are double levers with jet thrust, as well as springs for additional stability.

The American suspension has long been presented with a large number of claims. With a sharp braking or a sharp turn, we immediately get a "police" wave. The straight road Chevrolet "Caprice" holds very well, without analogues for that time.

Despite the dimensions, the car is pretty bright. Overclocking is given without any effort. The car is equipped with an engine capacity of 5.7 or 5 liters. Some argue that the machine is really very "gluttonous," and the latter - that with good care, everything is much better.

With regard to reliability, as well as the operation of the car, it should be noted that it needs more thorough maintenance in comparison with European counterparts.

The Chevrolet "Caprice" engine has great potential. If you do not change the oil after 6000-7000 km, it will lead to a strong wear of the bearings and piston rings. In the case of loss or complete deterioration of parts, it will be difficult to find a replacement for them, since this car can be found quite rarely.

The engine of the car does not tolerate poor-quality oil. If it is used, the cast iron heads will crack when overheated. Candles that are located in dangerous proximity to the wheels, you need to change often, because with a small rust it will be very problematic to do. Due to the location of the heat exchanger next to the gearbox, the condenser of the air conditioner may be damaged. Therefore, it is worthwhile to take care of the radiator in which all this is located.

Exhaust pipes, as well as the silencer, suffer from corrosion and can collapse at the welding location. In addition, it is necessary to monitor the metal brake pipes so that they do not rot.

Chevrolet "Caprice" is a kind of car that needs careful care. It is difficult to find him equal in comfort and stability.
