The picture shown is not actually the one I drove but I don't have my own picture of it. This car is junk. It has so many things wrong with it. First, those morons at GM but a plastic radiator in it. Honestly, that is just stupid and careless on GM's part. The spark plugs need replaced more often than they should, and the car has a short in the third brake light wiring. It can't keep one functioning for a week. The exhaust system is held in by coat hangers because the entire under side of the car is about to rust out from underneath it's self. This is NOT a good car.
Pros:
N/A
Cons:
Weak engine, cheap interior, needs constant maintenance, and overall a very poor quality vehicle.

I bought my cavalier in '05 for $2000. The dealer told me the head gasket was due to go any day, and it did a week after I got it. But you can't beat the prices for parts for an American-made car! $20 for the part. :-) Other than that I've rarely had issues with this car, a few mystery stalls, but it IS 12 years old now! For being an older car, it handles beautifully! Acceleration isn't anything special, I can do 0-60 in like 12 seconds, since we replaced the fuel filter. I replaced the brakes as well, and it's a responsive car as far as braking. Nothing too special to look at, but I do like its smooth lines, it's not boxy at all. I LOVE THIS CAR!
Pros:
parts are inexpensive and easy to find, good gas mileage, not an ugly car, acceleration is decent, handles nicely
Cons:
I have no options...I have an aftermarket CD player. manual locks, windows, nothing special at all.
