by hbakondy
May 19 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quality car at affordable price
Cons: None of the bells and whistles of higher-end models

OK...I have never admitted it in public, but I love my Cavalier. It is the second one I have owned in the past 10 years, and is a great deal for the price. Considering owning one? Check out the following:

Great City Car

by SGTiffen
Dec 21 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Easy to park, easy to drive
Cons: 2 door is a little inconvenient

I was looking for a good value in a new car that included automatic, ac and a cassette player, and I hit it on the nose with the Cavalier. A great city car, fits into most parking spots, a tight turning radius and good gas mileage. Additionally, we've...

Mar 15 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: low sticker, reliable, comfortable
Cons: low resale

In the four years (and 50k miles) that I've had this car, it hasn't had to be serviced yet.

I have a '96 Cavalier LS. Got it because I wanted economy, but also wanted ABS, auto, four doors, folding rear seat, and air. Got it all for (at the...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good Performance, Driveability
Cons: Questionable Wheel Bearings

We bought our Cavalier in 1996. We really like the ride and the stiffer feel of the body versus that of its predecessor. By comparison, our old Cavalier, a 1990 Z24 felt "loose" and sloppy in its handling. It is almost like Chevrolet bought a...

Pros: comfort, room, gas mileage, maintenance,
Cons: Easy body damage, weak glove compartment latches

I had a '96 Cavalier up until a year ago. The car was in my mother's name,and we felt it was time I got a new one in my own name, so I traded in my Cavalier. That car was a very reliable car. There were very few things I didn't like about the car....

Pros: Great looking and running
Cons: None

I love the Cavalier that I have. I bought my 1996 2 door Cavalier Coupe about a year ago and it has ran great ever since I bought it. The only time that it has ever had to be in the repair shop is to get its oil changed.

I really like the way...

My trusty 2nd Cavalier

by linda1527
Jan 14 '00 - Updated Oct 25 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: great car for the money
Cons: a bit crowded in the back

I love the sleek sporty look of this newer cavalier compared to 10 years ago when it was so boxy-looking. My first was a 1987 and was the best car I owned for 9 years (until I bought my '96). Only reason I bought a new one is because the '87 was rusted...

Pros: Comfortable, convenient, cheap, does not swallow gas
Cons: My model does not have automatic doors and windows, but so be it

I decided on purchasing a Cavalier after a long time of comparison-shopping among many different makes and models. I purchased it new in '96 and have had almost no problems with it since. My car does not consume much gas, it is roomy enough, the breaks...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Standard Equipment, Stylish, Reliability, Price
Cons: Squeaks

As a college student, I was looking for a car in October 1998. My requirements in a car were something small, two-doors, not a sports car (insurance reasons), and under $10k. I was looking strongly at several 1996 Honda Civics for around $8K. All had...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: multiple safety features, comfort and reliability
Cons: minor hardware problems

If you wallet is thin, and you want great value in a small car, the Chevrolet Cavalier is for you. I own two Cavaliers, both 1996 models and think very highly of them. In 1995, Chevrolet redesigned the car and did some remarkable changes. Not only was...
