  Great Car for the Money - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Good Car - July 16 - 2:00 am

  We bought the Cavalier LS new in 1998 and have been very pleased with its performance. There have never been any reliability issues and it surprises us how it always starts with the first crank even when being left out in the cold Wisconsin winters over night. The gas mileage is about 30 HWY and has lots of acceleration. No beefs for the money spent and now it is practically paying for itself.

  Not exciting, but reliable - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By yeti - June 18 - 2:00 am

  This is my second Cavelier, bought new in 1997. For both of them, the engines held up extrememly well as I piled on the miles, but they were not particularly exciting to drive. In hindsight, I should have plunked down the money for a Honda Civic for not much difference in price and gotten a little better milage and better long term reliability and resale value.

  Practical and classy - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By ccvi - February 10 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle was comfortable, efficient, responsive and performed well both in city and open road driving. The extra boost needed from the engine when passing another vehicle was always just a press on the pedal away. It hugged the road giving a feeling of security and safety. Seat design gave support and comfort with its easy adjustment capacity. There is more space for both front and back seat passengers than in some larger model cars. There were no major engine problems during the 128,000 miles the vehicle was driven. Regular maintenance brought the result of not even an oil leak, even at 128,000 miles.

  Always good to go! - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By imdante - January 31 - 2:00 am

  my wife and I had this car for 4 years 11 months (1 more month till paid off!). somebody rear ended our car yesterday. anyhow we were both sad to see it go. this car was always great to us. all that we had to do is change the oil. thats it. we took this car to Las Vegas all the time. never any problems. Ive heard some not so good things about the cavalier, but ours was great and I would buy another one no questions asked! I would highly recommend!

  1998 Chevy Cavalier..pretty good car - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Erika - January 28 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my car close to 3 years...I would recommend this to anyone for a first car...Cavaliers must in general be good cars...i mean they keep making them year after year...through the years...i replaced the battery, tires, ignition switch, and serpintine belt...usual oil changes, and transmission change, brakes were put on also...but in my opinion these were typical maintenance jobs within a 3 year time...

  Sexy little car - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By CarLA98 - December 20 - 2:00 am

  The problems I have had with this car are minor. I had a window rattle in the door which the dealership fixed, I had to replace the brakes after 30,000. The sound system is good, but dont try to crank it up too much. The one big problem I have had with this car is the cigarette lighter. For some reason, using it to charge my cell phone caused an electrical short which at various times caused the horn not to work or the roof not to go up or down. By and large I am very happy with this car. I like the way it looks, it can comfortably seat five "normal" sized people, and with the back seat folding down I have a lot of versatility in transporting things.
