Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
GTZ model debuts, with high-output version of Quad 4 engine. GTZ has 180-horsepower, and is available only with five-speed transmission. Short-lived GTU is dropped. An aggressively hyped convertible model never made it to production. Base 2.0-liter engine is swapped for peppier 2.2-liter unit. Optional V6 goes from 2.8 liters to 3.1, and now makes 140 horsepower. Air conditioning is made standard on all but the base model. All Berettas get new cloth seat covers and cushions.

good runnin car

1990 Chevrolet Beretta GT 2dr Coupe
great running car but after 200,000
miles the wear is starting to show.
best part is im a mechanic backyard
mainly but enough to fix all the major
problems that have occured on the
vehicle itself. the engine and
transmission have been fully rehauled
so the motor does not have but 60,000
on it ive replace all the interior,
seats, dash and some other misilanous
parts in … fact an entire page worth
limiting the problems for the next
buyer the reason for selling is the
fact that i have a better car to drive
but this is a great start for any new
driver that is still learning real easy
to drive and very dependable
GTZ is the best model!

This is a great car to have when you
are sick of seeing those hondas with
the park benches on back. This car
will put them in their place and uphold
American car-pride!
Junk

1990 Chevrolet Beretta Indy GT 2dr Coupe
Biggest piece of junk I owned. I will just list a few of the things I replaced that I can think of off the top of my head. Ball joints, radiator, 4 injectors, 3 wheel barings, 2+ CV joints, muffler, leaks oil, digital dash goes in and out, clutch, window motor, blower motor, AC compressor, brakes, brake pistons, transmission mount. I'll stop there but I am sure there were more things. … Heck all of those things were replaced between 4/98-10/00 then I gave the thing away free because I hated the thing so much! There was a radio station where I lived that said "Crank up the volume so you dont hear that funny noise your car is making" and that is exactly what i always did with that junker!
DASH AND MOTOR FROM H*LL

1990 Chevrolet Beretta GTZ 2dr Coupe
I currently have a 1990 GTZ and I love
it. This is my second Beretta and I
have been very satisfied about the
Beretta line up. The GTZ is definetly
the best of the line...BUT...the quad4
that comes with the GTZ is one of
those things GM wishes that they never
thought of. I replaced my GTZ with the
2.8L V6 from a 1989 Pontiac Fiero GT.
My GTZ handles great in all … conditions
and is reliable considering the year.
If anyone knows where I can buy an
aftermarket dash(not a dash cover, but
a factory) I would so much appreciate
it. It's horrible to have such a great
looking car with such a ugly, shrunk,
craked dash.willmiracle@hotmail.com
