1999 Chevrolet Cavalier

Pros: lots of room, handles nicely
Cons: lots of failures some very major

The car handles nicely and is feels heavy when driven but it has given me numerous problems. My A/C has gone out and now my odometer is no longer functioning. Mechanically the vehicle is strong but it seems that all the things attached to the vehicle are a huge failure

Pros: Can park in small places, good transmission.
Cons: everything else about it

My biggest problem with my 99 chevy cavalier is that all the little things break all the time! We have had to replace the motors on the power windows and the upholstery has not held up well at all. The gas mileage has been horrible. It is a tiny car and really is a true chevy! I have a lot of frustrations with how loud it is and I really don't find it a very smooth ride. The seats are hard and there just isn't much space to move. Its a small car with little padding so you hear everything. The acceleration is slow. Another big problem I have with the cavalier is the horrible crash test rating it has. It is not a safe car to be in if you get into an accident. The design of the hood is horrible for accidents because it slides very nicely under other vehicles causing enormous damage even in a fender bender. Hence why the crash test rating for the front did not even receive one star for head and neck injuries. The one perk about the cavalier is that the transmission is pretty good.

Pros: mileage, low maintenance, sporty.
Cons: none

In June of 1999, I bought a new 1999 2 door Cavalier, automatic transmission, manual locks/windows. No perks. It's been a great car. Almost 200,000 miles on it, and still getting 28 miles/gallon...even with golf clubs in the trunk.
Ride is comfortable, not luxury...but i didn't pay for a luxury ride either. Interior has held up beautifully, except for a crack in the console near the windshield likely from sun damage. Gray cloth seats and floor mats still look great.
Great, reliable car, especially for the price.
Really, no complaints.

Pros: Dependable, affordable, sporty
Cons: It's not a Lexus (haha)

I bought the 1999 Chevy Cavalier brand new and I have had no problems with it! As a female with no car smarts, I love a car that requires little more than regular oil changes and annual inspections. I had to replace the brakes at 6 years of age, and at 7 years was advised to replace the original battery and tires. Other than that, my car is dependable and just what I was looking for (in my price range).

Pros: good gas mileage
Cons: no tachometer, 106mph governor

I recently purchased a '99 cavalier and have had no major complaints about it so far, other than the lack of a tachometer. My car is a 2 door base model with a CD player and 5 speed manual. The car itself is roomy in the front and in the back has enough space to comfortably accommodate 2 adults or 3 children. The trunk is cavernous especially with the fold down back seat. I can't however recommend this car for someone who wants to go fast, the governor cuts the engine at 106mph, which is nowhere near redline in fourth gear. I recommend this car for anyone wanting to save money on gas, or for anyone who doesn't care about having a car that can go over 106mph.
