Pros: Fast, powerful, cheap parts (you'll need them)
Cons: Breaks down every time you sit in it, burns lots of gas especially in the city
I bought a 1990 Chevrolet Z24 as my first car. It initially cost me $2000 but that figure has since crept up to nearly $10000 due to my stupidity (I keep repairing it rather than dumping it in the nearest scrap yard).
The first thing that...

Pros: It has a great stock radio, the seats are so comfortable, it is big enough for five people, and it just keeps going.
Cons: None
The Chevy Cavalier is one of the best cars. My parents bought it in 1990, and it was brand new when they got it too. Now ten years later the car is still in good shape and it still runs. It has gone through both of my parents and I have been driving it...

Pros: Sporty exterior
Cons: Everything Else!
I purchased my 1990 Chevy Cavalier in the fall of 1997 and it has caused me nothing but grief ever since! This was my third vehicle at the time and it runs worse than the other two vehicles I previously owned (a Mercury Cougar and a Dodge Ram).

Pros: dependability
Cons: lack of natural sportiness
The 1990 Cavalier that I owned was my first car. That car had been through the ownership of three different people before my mother gave it to me in 1996. It always worked.
My uncle first owned, when it was brand new. He used it as a...

Pros: styling, dependable, affordable
Cons: none
My family has pretty much stayed in thr Chevrolet family, so when it was time to buy my first car at 18, going and getting a cavalier was an easy choice. I bought the car in 97 for my 18th birthday and have had no problems with it except the normal...

Pros: Enough space for a family
Cons: A lot of repairs.
Every car I have bought has been a Chevy. In 1998 I bought a 1990 Chevy Cavalier. Its roomy for a family of four. And easy to handle. My problem is that I never owned a car with so many things that go wrong in such a short time. Since I have owned this...

Pros: afordable, nice, dependable,
Cons: lack of custom products available, wheels aren't "cool" small motor ( on sime types )
My first car was a 2 door 1987 Chevy Cavalier. It was never the nicest car on the block but with 206,000 miles it ran strong. Not as quiet as all the other cars it still took me to wherever I wanted to go. It could fit up to eight people at one time...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliable, Parts are cheap if it breaks, average to good mpg
Cons: Not much room, not "sporty" enough for some.
The Bottom Line: Reliable vehicle for a fair price
Some people swear at these cars, and some swear by them. It goes both ways. I have owned one for 5 years and it had 80,000 miles on it when I bought it. It now has 156,000 miles on it. Out of regular maintenance; I have changed the shocks and struts...

Pros: Nice appearance, room
Cons: way too many problems with it
Well, I don't even know where to start with the problems I have had with this stupid car. I think everyone ends up with a lemon to drive in their lifetime, and I hope this is my only one.
I own a 1990 Chevy Cavalier. I bought the car because...

Pros: Powerful (V6 only), Easy to maneuver, Excellent driving position, Excellent fuel economy (5-speed only), Tasteful and attractive styling, Easy-to-find at a good price
Cons: Too small for families, Almost no trade-in or loan value
I found my 1990 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 through an online search about last Thanksgiving when I was looking for a real driver's car. I had long loved the traditional, non-radical styling of the Cavalier, and the Z24 was a perfect match for me. As a...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast, easy handling, comfortable, and an all around thrill to drive
Cons: Things break, but they do that on every car.
The Bottom Line: If you love muscle cars or just fast sporty cars you love it.
I got my Cavalier Z24 (3.1V6) in the summer of 2004. It was my first car I bought myself. I had past by it on a car lot several times thinking "Now that's a sharp looking piece of machinery." My dad who grew up driving muscle cars even liked to looks ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: Great looking car. Very roomy interior.
Cons: Are they all tempermental?
The Bottom Line: I love my car. I have to. It's not for everyone.It has never let me down. It's only had typical problems, none that the other reviews had mentioned. Knock wood.
I had thought that it was my common bad luck in life, but from reading the other reviews I see there are others in the same boat. I love my car. I do. It is my only link to the outside world. But I have pumped so much money into it. I paid $3500 Canadian...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very dependable, good fuel economy, nice sized car,
Cons: Can be slow to get to speed (4-cyl)
Not a pocket rocket.
The Bottom Line: It's basic, economical, and dependable. It doesn't need pampering or guzzle lots of gas, it's a good choice.
First of all let me say...I love my little Cavalier! I kind of lucked into it because it was in my price range when I needed a car, any car. I bought it in 1995 with 93,000 very rough miles on it. The car's interior was already pretty roughed up, and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: When I think of one I will tell you!
Cons: Anything and EVERYTHING!!!
The Bottom Line: Avoid these shaky unreliable cars...buy something newer that will last longer...these may only last a year.
I could not possibly say enough BAD things about this car! It is like a ticking time bomb! I bought this car a few years ago and it has been nothing but trouble! First the Radiator...Then the Alternator...the Battery...The tires splitting...The trunk...
