  • Cavaliers are BAD buys - 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier
    By -

    Everything has gone wrong with this car in the past year. From the motor mounts to the rack in the rack and pinion steering to the struts.

  • Junk!!! - 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier
    By -

    I, like so many other Cavalier owners, have had too many problems with the car to find it enjoyable. To start with: the muffler rattles, the a/c only works on high, the glove box has traped my cds inside of it, the drivers side mirror refuses to stay upright, it will not start if there is less than 1/4 tank of gas, the thing just eats oil like there is no tomorrow, and sometimes the car will turn off as I am backing up.

  • Bad Chevy - 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier
    By -

    Bought this car still under factory warrenty. Immediately the lifters started knocking, interior rattled, muffler began making an obnoxious rattle. Right after Chevy sent a notice that the head gaskets were defective the engine blew up. Next engine has had nothing but problems - emissions and drivability. 2 dealers and 1 independant shop cannot figure it out.
