Not a bad little car - 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier
By Not a bad car - May 20 - 2:00 amWell I bought the car in 1999 and it had around 50,000 miles on it. Around a month or two later the A/C compressor started grinding and was covered by warranty. Next after it was payed for the head gasket blew which was around $700.00 to fix which was a bargain considering the work. I still own the car that is the extent of the work that has been done on the car besides regular maintenance. Well last month i had my A/c recharged at that time the whole system was checked for any leaks and it was approved. Over all im satisfied with this car now it has just peaked at 100,000 miles and still running strong.

9 great years and 127k miles - 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier
By EddieG - April 29 - 2:00 amOriginal Owner, this car has taken me all over the country and back. Has only needed routine brake and tire maintenance - ZERO mechanical problems. Fuel economy isnt what it was 9 years ago, but still better than most cars on the road. And one of the sportiest cars for its price range!

Good for the money - 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier
By kmant - March 15 - 2:00 amI bought my Cavalier used with 57,000 miles on it. I had to replace the pulley on the a/c and the rear strut mount right away. I noticed it started leaking oil around 110,000 miles. I replaced the head gasket one weekend around 115,000 miles. There is rust on the bottom of the front and rear door on the passenger side. Had to replace the spark packs at 135,000 miles. There is a low humming noise when I turn left. I have 138,000 miles on it and that 2.2 still runs strong. No oil burning. Other than the above mentioned, the car always starts. For the money it is a good car and I would buy another.

The car handles beautifully and is fantastic in the snow. The car has over 100,000 miles on it and is still going strong. I would highly recommend this car.

Not too Bad... - 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier
By Grayce - February 7 - 2:00 amI bought this car new. I have put a LOT of miles on it(158 000). I like the way it looks, inside and out. We have changed the head gasket twice, replaced gas tank/lines and had many! brake jobs. Its also had a really bad problem with rust around the bottom of the doors and on the hood (rusted right through).It is near the end of its useful life now and I will replace it soon. Im not sure if I will buy another Cavalier though. Upkeep has been expensive, but it has always started (even in the coldest weather) and never left me stranded.

what a surprise! - 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier
By thewrightstuff - November 30 - 2:00 amI took this car over from my mother when i moved to the area in 1999. i drive it hard because i live 50 miles from work, plus regular driving from place to place. this car has been reliable and beautiful! it looks brand new when washed, 7 yrs later, what a nice finish! as an ARCHITECTURAL interior designer, i would make improvements to the interior, but as a vehicle its been great and efficient. my mother bought the car used and someone had switched radios. it works but is a pain to figure out and theres no documentation on it. the clock is always off.

Time to Give Up MY BABY!!!! - 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier
By Overall Happy Owner - October 10 - 2:00 amOK, my Cavalier and I have been through alot of events. My kids becoming teenagers, three 1500 miles trips out of state, one marriage, some repairs, and my twenty-some-things. Anyway, I have drove my Cavalier for about 8 years. She has at times cost me money but, never more than $500.00. Transmission still runs, you will fix breaks alot, has started up mornings for years (except for those repair times), and BEST FEATURE.....MY BABY has 184,000 miles and still running. In early 2004, I will retire her but, not to get rid of her. In two years, my son will be at the age to drive....and guess what he will be driving!!! Thanks, for reading.

Loving my First car - 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier
By Wbcheerguy - August 31 - 2:00 amIm a high school student, this car (2dr std coupe) 5-speed manual, is a great first car and is ideal for a teen like me, the car uses very little gas, can be customized easily, and reliable, i wouldnt trade my car in for anything. the car is priced low enought for a working teen to afford and the car is easy to service for regular care.

Surprised by Cavalier - 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier
By melncolly - July 1 - 2:00 amI grew up in a staunch Ford family. So when I bought my Cavalier...I was afraid....hah hah...not really...so far, Ive done minor maintenance to it (oil, tires, front brakes, battery) Ive put about 25K miles on it in 14 months and no problems with the car...and it is my first five speed, and I like dropping it down a gear or two to get some extra ZOOM! Watch out for me in my teal Cavalier! Its sporty and gets around and I can keep up with the Acuras and Hondas...if I want..) I hope it lasts till I pay it off in April 2003!!
