Used 2005 Chevrolet Classic Consumer Reviews
Good value grocery getter
I've owned my Classic for 2 years now and put 25k miles on it. Averages 26- 30 mpg combined city/hwy driving, 32 mpg on road trips with two adults and luggage. For only $6900 it has been a great car. No mechanical issues. Has a huge trunk and plenty of interior space. The dealer I bought from had a 2001 Corolla with over 100k miles for the same price. I'm glad I went with the newer, lower mileage Chevy. The Ecotec has been very reliable. Looking forward to putting another 100k miles on this.
Wonderful!
I love my car. It's the same color as the one pictured. The car looks so classy and expensive but yet its so affordable, I only payed $8.900 for mine and its great. I love the interior its so comfortable and it has so much space! The trunk is also huge and holds just about anything I need. The only negative is that I was told it had a V6 in it, when in fact it has a 4cyl but it gets really good gas mileage, and that's more important being that gas prices are outrageous. I think with this car the only thing to be careful of is choosing the right exterior color, a lot of colors make it look a little cheap.

'05 Classic
I use the car for a carpool of 4 persons. I get between 26 and 29 MPG hauling about 775 pounds. I drive it conservatively. Hope to get about 7 years of driving with it. I've had engine oil gaskets replaced under the warranty.
Another GM Failure
Clunky to drive, lousy gas mileage for the size (lucky to get 22 mpg), power windows starting to slow up at only 5 yrs old, and saving the worst for last: the Passlock system causes the car NOT TO START AT ALL. Google it if you don't know about it. Very unsafe, very unreliable. Has left my husband stranded and late for work many times. GM won't offer a recall even though they know this is common and their fault entirely. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.
Good utilitarian car
This is our second one. Wife rolled the 1st down the side of the mountain and all three ladies crawled out the window uninjured. It handled great until she hit the unexpected snow storm. She loved the car, purchases for $10K with 33K miles in '06. The 2nd one was $8K with 44K miles. We did not like it as well until we had the front brakes, pad and rotors, replaced for $450. We like it now. It is economical, reliable, and comfortable; a great middle-aged woman's car. I'd buy another one if she wrecked this one, too.
