  Very dependable car - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Elysian - April 6 - 2:00 am

  I havent had a problem with this car yet. Ive put it through a lot, and the worst that has happened is that the locks tend to freeze in winter. My mother owned a Cavalier also and had no problems for eight years. Definitely recommended for drivers who want cheap and reliable.

  My car is very fun to drive. I think it should have had a different spoiler desing.Other than that it is a great car. I put my own sound system in it and it "ROCKS"

  Good, cheap fun - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By RBTaylor - February 2 - 2:00 am

  This is my first convertible and my first Chevy, and I love it. Some people complain about the engine noise from inside the car I think its got a great purr. Not too loud, but not dead silent like a Honda. Acceleration is great for a four-banger with a four speed auto, and handling is smooth. The ride is nice, but still sporty, allowing you to feel the road. Riding up front with the top down, its remarkably quiet and not too windy. I replaced the factory stereo with a Rockford, which sounds great even with the original speakers. Ive driven from Utah to California and back a couple of times and never had a problem. Just a fun car!

  Pretty good 5yr old buy. - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By josamas - December 23 - 2:00 am

  I bought the car used (I would never have bought it new, 16.5k to high), the car was a steal at $3,300(thanks GM for your high deprec. rate). After five years the car still performs well for its kind and I would highly recomend it to someone bargain hunting for a compact car but want something that looks, and perform good or a teen going off to college, use the money you save on your college tuition instead of using it on a lousy car note for an over priced automobile.

  Too much money spent to keep car running - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Joerell - November 10 - 2:00 am

  I have a 1998 Chevrolet cavalier rs, which now have 90k. This car has been the worst. My brakes went 3 times in a year and a half, which didnt come cheap. at 81,000 mile my gasket went, at 89,000 my alternator went, now at 90k it in the shop because of its transmission. After a while the trunk wouldnt close so i had to get new lock parts for it as well as the drivers door. It seems like the car is in the shop more than on the road. For a student or a 1st time buyer this was the worst car, in the future i would stay away from american cars. My mom have a Subaru Legacy Out., which have well over 100k,the only expensive thing she paid for was brakes.

  Great little car! - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By REVBOO - October 14 - 2:00 am

  The best part about this car is the maintenence costs. Ive owned it since new and have never had to spend anything on repairs. Im just now starting to spend on normal items that wear out (tires, brakes, etc.). The only thing that has been replaced on it is the stereo. The CD player quite working while under warranty.

  Great Car - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Jens Car - October 1 - 2:00 am

  I have been driving this car for almost six years, its fun, has great acceleration and will drive for over 400 miles on a tank of gas. The five speed transmission is great for passing cars. The resale value once I paid it off (60 months) wasnt very good, which is why I am trying to drive it for as long as possible. I would definitely not buy another one NEW, or finance another one for that long.

  The cheapest car ever built... - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By cavalierssuck - August 4 - 2:00 am

  I bought my 98 Cavalier last fall for $5,200. It sounded like a bargain at the time. My family has always had Chevy cars and trucks so I figured it would be a good car. WRONG. The first week I had it, the spark plug wiring needed to be replaced because it would sputter like crazy. Three weeks later it needed a new clutch (yes I am a very good manual driver). Almost every morning in the winter it wouldnt start, and if it did start it ran bad. 3,000 bucks later it still runs like garbage. VERY CHEAP CAR DONT BUY IT!!
