That thing lasted about three years beyond the point when I was thoroughly sick of it. But how do you hate a paid-for car that gets 25 MPG and doesn't break down, ever?

I hated that car, but it was so reliable that I drove it for years in spite of its utter lack of style. It was a gutless wonder compared to my father's '78 no-frills 4-speed. I believe that the Chevette's longevity was a thorn in the side of GM's marketing folks for a long time. If you had to make just one reliable model for half a decade, you would hope that it wasn't the Chevette. I drove an ‘85 Chevette CS (with automatic, PS & A/C) for several years.
