Chevrolet Beretta

The Chevrolet Beretta was a front-wheel-drive coupé produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors from 1987 to 1996.

History
A 5-passenger sporty alternative to Chevy's Corsica 4-door sedan, the Beretta coupe, in standard and upscale Z26 trim, offered high content at an affordable price.

Designed to compete with the likes of the Ford Probe, Acura Integra and Toyota Celica, Beretta's personality ran the gamut from mild-mannered, in base trim, to exciting and sporty with the Z26 package.

1995
The standard coupe model was powered by a 120-horsepower 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or optional 3-speed automatic. An optional 3.1-liter V6 uppered the horsepower to 155, butwas available only with a 4-speed automatic. The new automatic transmissions no longer required periodic fluid changes. An optional sport suspension was the ticket for spirited driving styles.

The Z26 option included the V6 with 4-speed automatic, along with bigger tires, fast-ratio steering and a package of aerodynamic body panels. Inside, you'll find upgraded interior appointments. As sporty as the Z26 was, it lacked the 5-speed manual transmission and the peppy 170-hp 2.3-liter dohc Quad 4 engine that went out with the 1994 model. New for '95 was a redesigned rear suspension that complemented the 1994 model's refinements to the front suspension. Standard equipment across the board included antilock brakes, driver's airbag, air conditioning, power door locks and battery-rundown protection. A new safety feature was daytime running lights, a low-power-consumption system that turns the headlamps on and off automatically with the car's ignition for higher visibility.
