1991 CHEVROLET BERETTA
This model year
What the record shows
The 1991 Chevrolet Beretta is a compact car, and the 8th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1984 to 2002.
The EPA rated five configurations: engines from 2.2-litre four-cylinder to 3.1-litre six-cylinder, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline and regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 20 to 24 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 49 owner complaints, 2 investigations and 3 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
