Very easy on gas!!! You can fill the tank and it'll last you a week! =) Very clean, and simple yet very efficient. It's very easy to add performance to the engine and to find parts for. The car is very fun to drive and easy to maneuver. You'll love it from day one!

Pros — Small, Compact, Fuel efficient, Pretty
Cons — No tall peoploe allowed, Roller windows

Reviewing: 1998 Used Chevrolet Cavalier 4 Dr LS Sedan

The 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier in my opinion is much worse than it's predecessor.  While identical looking I must say that it was quite a disappointment from the '97 I had before.  The '98 had half the miles and was about twice as worse.

Pros — Cheap
Cons — Cheap

this car handles great with the suspension work done, but front wheel drive brings it down soooo much

Pros — kinda flashy, has big stereo
Cons — FRONT WHEEL DRIVE!!

It was a fun reliable car. It was fast and fun, but the interior was cheap.  Everything rattled after putting subs in it.

Pros — Wasn't as slow as the Jetta.
Cons — Window motors suck.

Comfortable seating handling is great corners well braking is awesome, the acceleration is out of this world

Pros — brake system is great, roomy inside, engine is easy to work on, and universal with several other cars for parts
Cons — gearing could have been improved in the transmission

Well lately its been a jerk on gas, but that could be the AEM CAI I installed after X-mas. I just put a set of 17" Enkei RS-Vs with Falken tires on a month ago and they're great!! And they look a million time better than the stock 15s!

Pros — Sporty, fast-folding top, great system (thanks to Kenwood), FUN
Cons — leaks a little in hard rain, minor issues, not super fuel efficient for a 4 cylinder
