Road Test: Chevrolet Sprint (1986)

General Motors sought to remedy its lack of a frugal economy car in the mid-1980s by turning to Daewoo and Suzuki. From Korea came a Pontiac-badged version of the Daewoo LeMans, and Suzuki built Chevrolet-badged Cultuses in Japan ( Isuzu contributed the Gemini, sold as a Chevrolet/Geo Spectrum, but that car was a slightly larger econobox). You could get a turbo version of the three-cylinder, hemi-headed 1.0-liter engine in the Sprint, but this car has the regular naturally-aspirated version with a mere 48 horsepower.
