    Pros: Comfy ride, reliable to a T, excellent gas mileage, heater and air is unsurpassable
    Cons: Alternator constantly needed replacement

    Summary: I bought my 1996 Baretta in 1999. It was the newest car I had ever purchased and I was excited from the start. I paid $7600 for a 3 year old cherry red, sporty looking car with only 30,000 miles. And let me tell you, that car was worth every penny. I ... read more

    Dec 15 '00
    Pros: Economical, good-looking, and fast
    Cons: Be sure to get the alternator with the lifetime warranty

    Summary: Update 5/2001: I'm going to have to change my tone a little bit with this update. I've only had the car three years, and it has already been under the wrench four times, one of which was major surgery. In the last three years the car has gone ... read more

  • I'm still in love with my Beretta!

    Feb 18 '05
    Pros: Beautiful lines and strong at the take off.
    Cons: The plastic paneling color ages differently than the metal body.
