1982 Chevy Chevette - Diesel Chevette Road Test
http://image.dieselpowermag.com/f/fe...rear_angle.jpg Were '80s Diesels Really As Bad As We Remember?Diesels that were built during the 1980s are almost single-handedly responsible for the public's general perception of diesel cars as slow-moving, smoke-belching horrors of the road. It also didn't help that most diesel cars, fullsize or not, had roughly 12 horsepower. OK, so some had more like 100 hp, but none were turbocharged or direct injected, and some were really heavy. Can you imagine trying to get a 5,000-pound diesel Lincoln moving with less than 100 horsepower? You'd have better luck parking it in Neutral during a strong storm. To find out if our perception of these vehicles was accurate, we decided to buy an '82 diesel Chevette five-speed and give you a full report on our findings.
