Even by the standards of GM, these were bad cars. They were unreliable, leaked and prone to dangerous component failures. I think that the article should incorporate what a load of rubbish these "cars" were. 217.72.91.120 (talk) 12:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if this refers to the European or US versions of the Chevette, but the Vauxhall car had no such reputation for unreliability, leaks or dangerous failures (in which case they would have had to be recalled anyway).82.3.134.33 (talk) 13:24, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could you cite a reference for the rubbishness of the Chevette? Certainly not something that I was aware of as an owner (allowing for the poorer general standards for all cars in this era). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.3.190.5 (talk) 07:55, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Chevettes still remaining
Does anyone have any idea how many Vauxhall Chevettes are still registered in the UK?
does anybody know where the "t-car" was actually developed? rumour has it that it was basically constructed by opel in germany, so the kadett was first, but I wouldn't sell my grandma on this. --212.202.143.154 (talk) 13:50, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
At the time when the Chevette came out, the UK press said it was based on the Kadett (ie the T car version of the Kadett) which is certainly consistent with the fact that the Kadett appeared first. (And I don't think Detroit or Elizabeth would have been involved in developping anything that small....) So I agree with your rumo(u)r, though I'm afraid I'm not able to dig out my old copies of Motor & Autocar to quote chapter and verse on this.
