Pros: sporty look
reliable
nice acceleration
no major problems encountered so far
good gas mileage
visibility
Cons: not much space for backseat riders
factory CD player won't played burned CDs
The Bottom Line: If I had to do it again, I'd go with the Cavalier again. No major problems, reliable, nice ride.
Just to clarify, I drive a two-door Z24 (which has a double overhead cam, and I don't know if the non-Z24 does). That feature, from what I know, helps with the "get-up-and-go" factor. I think it has great acceleration for not being an super sporty car. I ...

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...

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: cute, sporty,Good gas mileage
Cons: dents very easily
The Bottom Line: Buy it it is one of the better cars that I have ever owned.
My Cavalier has treated me well. I get 35 miles to a gallon, or better on the highway. The interior cleans up well and stays new looking. Fairly easy to work on, as the engine compartment is fairly large. Parts are cheap, as there are a million of them...

Pros: sporty look, quiet yet powerful engine
Cons: uncomfortable seat belt
I am leasing a 1999 Cavalier after recently trading in a 1996 Prizm, and I must say that the Cavalier is a much sportier car and definitely more fun to drive. I have had more compliments on the look of the car than any other car I've ever owned. And it...

Pros: "Exhilerating", easy handling, low maintenance.
Cons: Radio difficult to hear with top down
You want the wind in your hair and the sun in your eyes, right? Then wear shades and a cap or bandana, for you will like this sporty vehicle about as much as any on the road. Great gas mileage using regular, low insurance rates and you can satisfy your...

I've had my new Cavalier for about 8 months now, and I still love it. If you want all the "official" sounding stuff, it handles great, drives great, it has all the important safety features, and all that stuff. In fact, I think it was rated...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Affordable, American
Cons: Slow start, cannot make turns well
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a good, dependable, car that will get you where you need to go without costing you an arm and leg then this is it.
I moved to LA and, well, I got a car. So what did I look for? Something affordable with good gas mileage that wouldn't cost alot to fix and that would get the job done. I decided to forget about status and luxury in a town that thrives on it and just...
