IMHO, the epitome of automotive suckage. A girl I dated in college had a new '82 Chevy Chevette, in beautiful crap brown w/ matching interior. Her parents bought it for her to take to college. (Umm, gee thanks Mom & Dad..it's a Chevette!)
Absolute death trap. You could be driving along in traffic and suddenly have no brakes whatsoever. She learned to use the parking brake to avoid crashing into the rear of another car, bus, semi, whatever happened to be in front of her. And the sporadic stalling...what a POS.
Of course, the dealer could never find anything wrong with it. I think she had it about a year, before her parents traded it on a used Corolla, which she drove for several years after college.
