  Love it - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By blondie - April 28 - 10:49 am

  I bought this car about 2 years ago and wanted a cheap but yet nice sporty looking car and when I saw this one I knew it was the one! I havent had any problems with it besides very minor knock on wood. Its a good little car and you can add the fun tall lights and tint the windows and let me tell you its a looker!

  Great car - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By nick - April 23 - 11:52 pm

  I had two recalls. That is good in my book. This car is great on fuel and cheap to run. Overall its a great car. Even at 270,000 km its running great.

  Cavalier is a worthy car to own one. - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Road Runner 2000 - September 16 - 8:51 am

  Driving control and stability is excellent, especially on highways, comparing to the car in the same segment such as Civic, Corolla and Focus. Surprisingly, its even better than Camary and Accord of the same year model. The acceleration is very impressive even though equipped with a shy horsepower engine. However, the engine is torquey. That compensates for the cars weight quite well. Fuel consumption is outstanding on highways and resonable in town. Cars appearance is handsome, and roomier than the like ones. C-Pillar looks very beautiful. I like this the best.

  A sad goodbye - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Kristina - June 1 - 5:24 pm

  I bought my convertible new in 1998. I love this car. I have owned this car for 8 years. My car had 140,000 miles at the time of its death. My car was totaled by a full size Explorer (and the car took the hit). My Cavalier was the best car I ever owned. It never gave me any real problems except for the AC went out once but it was an easy fix. I am sad to see this car go.

  Cant beat it! - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By johnny-boy - May 9 - 8:29 pm

  Ive put 100,580 miles on this jewel and never had to think about it quitting. I drive a car hard and this one just keeps on goin. New brakes once, new rear struts once. The 2.2 liter engine is more than I exspected. Ill cruise at 70-75 all day and just relax and listen to the radio.

  Love my Z! - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By SHVD98Z24 - February 16 - 1:51 am

  I bought this car used with 23000 miles on it and it now has 41000 miles on it....6 years later....I know...I only drive it 3000 miles a year but its a blast. I have done bodywork and stereo systems, lowered it, big rims, you name it. The stock parts hold up well. It isnt like the foreign cars where you have to upgrade 2 other things to upgrade one. The engine is strong...as strong as any non turbo foreign motor. The only problems I have ever had are electrical and thats from adding stuff on. The ignition system is pretty complicated in these cars.

  First Car - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Kaitlyn - August 9 - 6:38 pm

  Alright, so my first car was a little more expensive than what most teens got at my school. However, it was definitely worth the investment compared to the "junkers" my friends bought. Ive only had one thing go wrong with my little Cavalier, and that was due to a poor mechanic. Not only that, but my little car was able to plow its way down the road on snowy Michigan roads that had sometimes a foot of snow.

  Ive had worse - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By tcrews - June 8 - 12:16 pm

  My wife had this car when we got married. Weve had to do some motor work (2.4 ltr.), but it has 197,000 miles. What gets me are the comments from mechanics when I take it in. Every mechanic that sees it says, "Oh great!" and tries to pawn it off on one of the other mechanics to work on. They tell me the motors a pain to work on and was known for overheating. I drive it 150 miles a day bare minimum. Still getting 28 miles to the gallon. Very uncomfortable. Best fix for the road and motor noise is a louder stereo. Was going to trade it in for a different car but nobody wanted it.

  I love my Chevy - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Jules - May 25 - 2:24 pm

  I bought my 98 Cavalier brand new, in September of 1998. I have driven this car 124,000+ miles. It has taken me all over the east coast, with no issues. This car is very reliable. I have replaced, tires, brakes, and battery, and just had to get new rear struts 6 months ago. No other repairs have ever been needed other then an occasional factory recall. Right now I have Toyo tires on it, and it drives better then ever. The only complaint that I have is that my family has outgrown it, and I am now looking to buy something bigger.

  Good car, especially for the money - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Ray - May 3 - 1:00 am

  I have owned this vehicle for 7 years and am sad to finally depart from it. This car has travelled the southeastern US with almost no problems other than a window motor! Excellent car for the money!!! After 113,000 miles the only problem was the window motor and the paint. The engine is a true workhorse!
