These cars are really under rated, IMHO. Naturally, since it's a used car, there are some issues to be over come but nothing's come up so far that can't be repaired. When I took ownership, the rear gate doesn't lock, the two power windows on the rear doors need attention and the horn doesn't work. Since I don't have a garage to work in, I'll have to wait for good weather but none of it appears daunting in the least.I purchased a factory manual and it's one of the most helpful factory manuals I've ever owned, much better than what I had to work with on my '89 Caprice wagon. Update: Rear door/gate lock fixed by straightening out the actuating rod and adding a screw-on button. It's easily broken off when you're loading over the gate or when the gates down. L.R. window needed a switch and both rear windows needed the plastic insert in the window channel replaced; I found out this is a common repair on this year/make/model. If you decide to buy one of these, look for the models with the simple throttle body engines, 91-93. After that things get more complicated; more power and performance but not much better gas mileage and much more expensive maintenance.Jan 29, 2013

Performance: Is decent it has a 305 V8 so it has power and gets reasonable MPG's. Its handling is very floaty like a boat so it's never dull. Build Quality: Is well typical GM from the 90's... crappy but it is simple to fix. Appearance: Jelly bean like and the interior is typical 90's material.But, its one of the best and most iconic cars from that era. Cost: Not bad u can find good cars cheap and chevy parts = cheap! MPG's about 20/25 if u don't beat it to death. Fun factor: It's not fun but its like going in the 70's car but from the 90's it the last of the land yachts! Jul 26, 2011

Performance? Its slow, at first, Needs some brakes but it stops, I love the full power steering. It has a few squeeks and rattles but it needs some shocks and that will be resolved. great for the age it looks good inside and out. Mileage is good about 16 round town. Its very fun to drive. I once put 14 sheets of dry wall in it.Sep 28, 2010

While it's ride was rather good for having 220K, but it was poorly maintained by it's previous owner, making it a pain to work on. The thing looked like a bath tub that was turned upside-down and wheels added to it. The 5.0L V8, while most commonly referred to as a boat anchor, had enough power to bring the rig sideways, though even when you didn't want it to. While it was based of a design that originated in 1978, it had too many modern annoyances for my tastes.Dec 14, 2009

With a 5.7 TBI (Throttle Body Intake) 350ci the Caprice Classic has fast acceleration for a larger and heavier car. With a spacious cabin and trunk it is no wonder it was the premium choice for police and law enforcement agencies for years even after thier retirement from the chevrolet line. With sleek bodylines and a luxury ride on the long haul it requires less maintenance than it's counterpart that carries the LT4 Corvette motor. With over 280 Horsepower the top speed of 233 Miles Per Hour. Reasonable Fuel Economy for its size. Definitely a Blues Brother Car for fun.Sep 03, 2009

Still going strong after 155,xxx (hard police) miles, and about 4,xxx (Ian) miles. Pretty good accelleration with TBI 350 (not LT1), Great handling with 9c1 cop suspension. Big ass truck brakes with ABS make the car feel smaller when panic stopping. Even with neglect the exterior and interior hasn't worn out that much. It had a bunch of leaks when I got it and the transmission made a clicking noise but was all fixed for about $400 (could have fixed myself but I'm lazy sometimes). Besides the $400, all other expenses were routine (gas, oil change, 2 tires). Gas mileage can get as good as 25 MPG highway with 3.08 gears as with my previous Caprice. Expect about 21 MPG highway with 3.42 gears. Rear wheel drive makes any car a blast to drive! Doughnuts anyone?May 07, 2009

It had the towing package 350, painted in unusual colors for the wagon. The last vestige of the age of expansive Detroit sleds. The luxury car for the working man. We could never get A/C to work, at least for long, though.Jan 29, 2009

Car handles weak in corners but accelerates like no tomorrow. The things a boat and the quality is better than japs. Fuel mileage is not the best because of the 350 but it goes when you want it to. Maintenance costs are extermely low for this car and only basic maintenance is needed, and i have 212,000km on it. For someone looking for a full size six passenger traditional American body on frame construction v8 I would recommend this car over any other any day.Dec 12, 2008

91-96 Caprice wagon: The strongest and longest cruiser of the world. A comfortable joy and a real headturner if low and wellkept. Equipped with a 302 Chevy V8 throwing close to 200. Happy to respond to driver moods. Enormous as a house - you can live in this car and travel the world. Practical. Cool. Strong. American.Oct 09, 2008

My 1993 Chevy Caprice is a nice car overall. It has more than enough power and doesn't require too much maintenance. Also, I can get over 30 mpg on the highway if I do between 60-65 mph, so it isn't all that bad on fuel, considering its size. That being said, there have been times when I have wished it was smaller (I live in downtown Kansas City) or had a stiffer suspension (it leans horribly in corners). Additionally, the instrumentation and interior appointments are very similar to a '68 Chevy my dad used to own, so it is obvious this car is for people who are resistant to change.Jul 10, 2008
