01/18/2005 |  I got mine shortly after 9/11, when all the automakers were offering those awful Three Thousand Dead Super Saleabrations following the atrocities and subsequent economic downslide. I did get a fairly good deal on the card and to this day, I feel guilty about it (although my 1990 GEO Prizm was on its last legs and I really did need a new car ASAP). In my father's time, the Chevy Cavalier was a Chevy Nova, a nice car for a coed going to college, but not the kind of car that a self-respecting head-of-household wants to be driving. But being that my wife has the fancy wheels, I suck it up and commute in my little ugly Cavalier. I remember all my Lexus-driving cohorts at work ribbing me over my Cavalier. Wow! That's some piece of Gran Tourismo you got there, they would say. Four years later, I still have my Cavalier. It's been dependable, although the suspension and brakes cause the ride to feel like I'm riding a tractor over railroad ties. I'm kind of a do-it-yourselfer when it comes to cars, but you literally have to be Gumby to just do an oil change in a timely fashion on a Cavalier. I just take it to Jiffy Lube, which hurts my manhood. The car is dirty, but just when I'm ready to wash and wax the car, I just say, Ah the Hell with it, and watch a ballgame. The resale value drops like an anchor on the USS NIMITZ in free fall. I like GM and I like Chevys, but the Cavalier won't emote excitement from a typical red-blooded American male. I'm ready for something else.

01/18/2005 | Its a good car for gas milage, but there have been alot of recalls on my 96 cavalier, and recently the timing chain slipped, it was fixed but six months later the same thing happened. I am now looking for a new engine for a chevy cavilier. If you would like to sell me one, my address is www.frank-nate@bluebuzz.net I live in Upper Michigan by the Northern Border of Wisconsin(My Internet is currently offline for a while) The car is very good but not in the long, long run. Keep your Cavalier a finely tuned machine, and if something doesn't sound right, don't wait to get it fixed.
