Friend on another board reminded me yesterday that there was a Chevette diesel as well. I've been cringing ever since.

The primary problem with the Chevette (as most people purchased them) was that the 1.6 had nowhere near enough power for an automatic transmission or air conditioning. Without those options choking it off, it was basic, reliable transportation. My ownership experience was exactly what I expected of it in 1982. It was at least as reliable as a Type 1, and probably more so (admittedly, a low hurdle to clear).

Dad had one with the diesel and AC. It was everything you’d think it would be.
