Review

This is the second Celebrity Eurosport wagon that I owned. I purchased it used with 109,000 miles and now at 120,000 miles, still runs and drives excellent. Starts up in any weather and it very dependable. Great for the family. We have driven with eight comfortably. A great car all-around

Favorite Features

Cloth interior is a pleasure to sit in especially on cold days. Seating for eight.

Suggested Improvements

Right side remote mirror is a waste since you need to lean over to adjust it. Why call it a "Remote" mirror?

Review

Purchased with 160,000 miles, now has 290,000. What a great car!! Very reliable to this point.

Favorite Features

Snappy, smooth ride; ended up loving a station wagon (teenagers favorite to go skiing and camping--sedans just aren't big enough)

Suggested Improvements

Yearly muffler replacement. Battery hard to get to, seats cause back pain on long drives.

Time for a change

Review

What a great car this has been. Fifteen years and no major problems with it. It had a reputation for reliability when I bought it (from fleet owners--not from CR) and it has lived up to that reputation. It is getting old now and things that last the life of the car are beginning to fail such as the driver door strike plate (repaired two years ago) and the turn signal return switch (still broken). However, after 185,000 miles, it still starts on the first try and takes me wherever I want to go. As I prepare to retire this champion, I am hopeful that its replacement will serve as well.

Favorite Features

Great engine (2.6 l V6) that never struggles and is perfectly matched to the car. Great flexibility in carrying passengers and cargo.

Suggested Improvements

Radio with cassette had to be replaced early in the car's life. Cassette never worked well and often got stuck in an "end of tape reverse" mode. Drivers side mirror adjustment knob not well designed.

Review

I have owned my Celebrity Wagon for approximately 10 years. It has been a very solid and reliable vehicle, until it hit the 150,000 mark and began to experience age-related troubles. One truly outstanding feature of this wagon has been its engine...it is very peppy and has pickup to spare, making it a lot more fun to drive than even some regular cars I have driven. It is a car that has served me well, and if I could go back in time, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it all over again. Maybe the car has a face/exterior only a mother could love, but...thanks Celebrity...I love you! :)

One truly outstanding feature of this wagon has been its engine (fuel injected V6)...it is very peppy and has pickup to spare, making it a lot more fun to drive than even some regular cars I have driven.

Suggested Improvements

Small items, like the rearview mirror knobs, should be of better quality.
