My family's first car of the 1980s was the Chevy Citation. It was an innovative car that received a lot of criticism for being subject to 13 recalls. However, it was a good performer with lots of interior space, front wheel drive, and a peppy transverse-mounted V-6 engine. As a teen driver, I put the Citation through its paces and performed every maneuver seen on "The Dukes of Hazzard." For a full review, check out my article:

It's been years now since I've seen a Chevrolet Citation on the road. Those that are out there have seen better days, but it was the predecessor of legions of front wheel drive GM cars. Maybe it was too much fun to the drive?

Awesome! The Chevrolet Citation was my dad’s second car, but it was a 1984Citation II model. He said he loved driving this car during his days because its performance was great. What he liked the most about it was its stylish exterior, which greatly contributed to his personality. That was also one of my favorite among our old cars.
