Pros: Nice look
Cons: Not reliable
The Bottom Line: I am dissapointed, and would not recommend it.
I bought my 99 cavalier with high recommendations. I have had it 11 months and nothing but problems. The Head Gasket blew and 2 months later, wham I now need to get the Engine over hauled.Ask me if I am impressed. I owned a Plymouth Sundance for 11 years...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: adequate for short-trips, fuel economy
Cons: terrible ride, rattles, poor reliability, old design
I don't think I need to translate POS... This is an out-of-date design that gets a minor facelift every-so-often, and for the same price as this 1999 left-over, I could have an entry-level Taurus. The only reason I have this bucket-of-bolts is because...

Pros: ?????????????
Cons: brakes, engine, dash, and the list goes on
The Bottom Line: Stay away from this vehicle at all costs. Buy foreign you will thank yourself later.
I bought a 1999 cavalier, my very first vehicle. I had decided to buy a brand new car to avoid the problems of a used one. I had originally decided to buy a Honda but ultimately decided on the cavalier because of the price difference. This proved to be...

Pros: none
Cons: Almost Everything
The experience that I've had with my 1999 Cavalier has been horrendous to say the least. The day that I picked it up it had problems, as I drove home from the dealership the car was shuddering every time I turned left. Realizing something was very...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Cheap price
Cons: Cheap parts, poor quality, craftmanship is horrible and warranty is sketchy.
The Bottom Line: If you just want a cheap car, find another one. This will turn into an expensive car before long.
I bought my cavalier in 1999. It was brand new with only 56 miles on it. I got the factory warranty, along with an extended warranty. After only having the car 6 months, the gauges quit working properly. It was mostly the mileage gauge that quit ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: It was only a lease and I get to unload it.
Cons: Cracked head gasket, clunking steering wheel, whistling AC vents, constant creeking.
The Bottom Line: The Cavalier is a great investment....if you're looking for a way to waste your hard earned money.
If Chevrolet/GM offered me a brand new Cavalier for FREE, I would keep on walking.
Since day one, my "brand new" Cavalier ran hot and leaked anti-freeze. Each morning was an adventure, wondering which warning light would flash on the...

Pros: Price

Well, I was lucky enough to be able to find a car within my price range. I had enough of *buying someone else's problems*, so I opted for a new vehicle! I put on alot of miles for work, so I felt I should have a reliable car. However, it seems like I...

Pros: Cost Effecient
Cons: None
I am the owner of a 1999 base Cavalier, two door sedan. This is my second Cavailer...and probably not my last. My first was a new 1983 and with several other kinds in between, I came back to the Cavalier. It is dependable, reliable, good on gas, easy...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power (2.4L), price, styling, reliability
Cons: Handling, craftsmanship
The Bottom Line: The cavalier is a good car, but is worth the upgrade to the 2.4 L engine due to the problems inherent with the 2.2 L.
I have driven both the standard 2.2 L Cavaliers and the 2.4 L Z24/Z22 Cavaliers. The engine and power train of the 2.2 L is weak and it made some terrible sounds after only 400 km of highway driving. However, this is supposed to be "normal" for this...

Pros: Power, style, standard,very comfortable, red, looks great with 5% tint on back windows
Cons: rust, front end parts, head rests, rear seat room
The Bottom Line: Overall great little car for the $, a few problems with quailty but that was expected, nothing a little $ can't fix
I bought this car three years ago, it is my first car and is still sitting in my driveway. I have put a fair amount of work into the car. New gas tank, brake and gas lines, replaced the front wheel bearings twice, new control arm bushings and tie rod ...

In May of 1999, it as time for me to get a new lease on an economy-class car. I looked and looked for days, finally I found myself at Dan Young Chevrolet. I was actually interested in a used car for lease, but was drawn to the new Cavaliers.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: low price, decent gas mileage, plenty of accessories, reasonable parts, folding backseat
Cons: low horsepower, annoying seat belts, no tachometer, ugly pinstripes, off-color bumpers
The Bottom Line: Overall, this is a pretty decent car for the price and is recommended for everyday travel to work. Not a family car.
This car has been pretty decent so far. (A much better experience than with my 1990 Nissan Maxima.) ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Good price. Good engine performance with 5-speed and 2.4L. Z24 styling
Cons: So-so handling. Questionable build quality. Lousy resale value.
The Bottom Line: Until Chevrolet, and GM in general, increases their quality standard, I'd stay away from Cavalier.
This review is based on my two-year experience with a 1999 Cavalier Z24 5-speed.
My wife and I purchased the Z24 Cavalier 5-speed as a second, more practical car, to accompany my 1996 Mazda Miata. We benefitted by a GM employee discount (from...
