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: 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: 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: 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: 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...

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...

Pros: everything but the con
Cons: safty
I have to say, the quality of my old Chevy was outstanding. GM designed this thing easily enough so that I, a basic-skilled person when it comes to cars, can maintain it. On some of my leases I couldnt even find the oil filter. chevy makes it easy...

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...

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...

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.
