General Comments:
The 1992 Caprice has been one of the best cars I've ever driven.
Although at speeds higher than 100 mph, she pulls to the left just enough to steer itself through a wide turn.
She rides like a dream, and can go through a medium-sharp turn at 60 mph with little effort; more than that and she'll start to lift enough to make you think it's gonna roll over.
I've put this car through some tough tests of my own including, 1/8 mile drag racing, emergency maneuvers, emergency braking, and forceful loss of control. After these tests, I can say this car is a beast and in the right hands, this is an excellent car in terms of control, and speed.
The interior is very roomy, has comfortable seats, and has a great dash layout.
Since I've had this car, I've installed a stereo unit, speakers, a window lock switch, and a truck open switch from a 1993 Caprice Police Interceptor. And all installs have been easy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

You've got a '92, the last year with the fender skirts in the back, I don't know why they eliminated them. Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I own an '87 myself, great cars.
