MacPherson Struts require replacing.

Head Gasket leaking slightly.

Have a leak in the passenger compartment, but understood to be manufacturer's defect from talking with other owners.

Engine gets up and goes when needed. Has aftermarket CD player and speakers installed by previous owner, but CD player will be replaced soon.

Faults:

Leak in the trunk.

General Comments:

This was a great car that was recently destroyed in a rollover accident. A wheel flew off a semi truck and hit under my front wheel, causing the car to flip over and skid on its hood to the guardrail. The airbag deployed, the seat belt held, and I was able to crawl out with no broken bones or severe injuries. The car was still running (engine and electrical system) at the junk yard hours later, despite the front and back of the car being smashed by flipping. This was a well built car that ran reliably for years.

Faults:

Nothing major wrong with the car.

The car tends to shimmy and shake when going excess speeds of 60mph, they said it was the brakes so we replaced them, It still shook, so we replaced rotors and got an alignment, still shakes, So were just going to get new tires.

Car hesitates at stop lights and acceleration doesn't seem to be what it could be, But were replacing fuel filter to see if that does the trick.

General Comments:

The doors are incredibly heavy, if you don't pay attention they can literally smack you down.

The car itself seems heavy, But I feel safe in it because it is built like a tank, I feel as thought I could plow through anything in the road.

Sexy looking car. In pictures the paint looks brand new and unbeleiveably shiny, but when you get up close, its got a lot of peeling paint. But the ground effects on the Z26 models really set the whole look of the car off.

Faults:

I just recently got the car so I have not had any problems with it thus far.

Car is in excellent condition.

General Comments:

I am very impressed with the way this car handles.

I love how the seats give me a hug every time I get in.

Very quick and still fuel efficient.

Faults:

Alternator was replaces around 100,000 MI.

While I was installing the Alt. I also decided to change the plugs and wires, but didn't really need too (Preventive Maintenance)

I have to keep seat covers on now cause of wear (but haven't worn through seats yet)

Trunk collects some moisture, but nothing damaging.

General Comments:

Well I love my Beretta cause it is a nice car despite that it has been hit 4 times and vandalized once (by the way body work is a rip off). But none my fault, and surprisingly enough I have never had to have it towed and was drivable after each incident. So that tells you somthing about how well they are put togeather!

My boss also loves my car because I have never been stranded or delayed because of car trouble. So if I was late it was because of me.

Overall I would recommend to anyone that is looking at a beretta that they get it because if they take care of it they will have little problems with it. It handles great and I do agree with the old slogan for Beretta's that "the car that bites the road back".

Only downfall I find is as a person that stands at 6"5' it is a long ways down there to get in and out. This also accounts for the extra wear on my seats.
