A good basic car! Lots of room to add things to it. Solid and dependable.I just wanted a larger simple fuel efficient basic car which was not like a coffin like my last car the Firefly sedan. I wanted a car which would survive a crash and not kill me.It's only cost us a thousand at most in repairs to keep it going since we bought it. A great car for a socialist like me or a teenager wanting to rev it up and give it some speed.

My cavalier was black and the appearance was very sharp when it was new.  The interior looked good too, but was very small and not very comfortable when taking longer trips.  But it got great gas mileage and has lasted me until now and is still running well.  I had one accident with it and had to have the driver side front side replaced, it was easy to replace most items and you can hardly tell it was redone.  The car ran very smoothly when it was new and I could easily get it out to 100 on the freeway with out even realizing I was going that fast (until I got a ticket of course), but now it is harder to get it going at that speed, but not unrealistic for its age.  Overall a very solid auto that will probably last me at least a couple more years...cheap & affordable for those on a budget, but I don't think they make the Cavalier anymore so unfortunately you cannot purchase one if you were interested.

The electrical in my car is really bad.
Alot of major parts are going on it now and need replacing, but likely because of the age of the car.  
It is a 1999.
The motor in it runs great.
The steering, exhaust, struts, and wheel bearings have already been replaced.

z-24 engines dont last that long if you always have
your foot in the floor, but every thing else is good. the
car is good looking, fast, and smooth.            

I bought my Cavalier new in 1999. It was in the shop at least once a month during the time I owned it.
