1992 Chevrolet Cavalier Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I really did love this car despite it's ugly boxy shape, and given that one of the cylinders died on me, that wasn't real great. But this little FWD car got me through a lot of snow and ice and I only recall getting stuck in heavy snows once! Given where I am from, this is awesome! This car ran great for years and I only got rid of it to save money for a down payment on a new car.Feb 06, 2013

This is my 3rd car. I bought it January 9th 2011. Ever since I had to take my other Cavalier off the road I've allways wanted another one. Took a few years to find anothe rin good shape but I did. This car hasn't been driven too much. After I bought it I parked it in my parent's garage until the snow is gone. Until I start driving it I can only hope it works as good as my othe one did. Me and the previous onwer took a drive in it and haven't seen or heard any problems yet, but again I will update this review in the spring when he or she is on the road. Hoping to paint it black and keep it original, and not put a big stupid spoiler on it or lower it so far to the ground, you couldn't slide a piece of plywood under it.Mar 11, 2011

Great little car. 3.1 L V6 engine with 150 hp and lots of torque. The car had a glass rear window. At that time only one other convertible offer glass. Even a $60K Mercedes convertible had a cheap plastic piece in the convertible top. Transmissions 3 speed automatic was strong and simple. However I prefer the 5 speed manual. Interior had bucket seats. Trunk large enough for two golf bags. Drop the top a the traffic light and take off.Nov 27, 2009

In 9 months I put on over 25,000 kilometres before the engine seized up in an A&W parking lot. The second time a car of mine had died in that parking lot. Considering what I had put it through - and that I had only paid 900 for it - it was a great car. I'd recommend it for first time buyers. Oh and the visibility in that car is excellent due to the narrow pillars (although that might affect safety.)Oct 22, 2009

This car is great!! 5 speed on the 3.1L V6. It goes when it wants to. Fully loaded! AC, PW, PL, Tilt, Tilt seats, cruise, power top, white ext white leather int, Lots of fun to drive. The MOST comfortable seats in any car for under 20k new lol. 300k for half a tank of fuel. Synthetic oil only, and oil coated 6 years running. If you have never driven a convertible do it just for the experience there is nothing like it yay!! Aug 28, 2008

This car excel in only one thing, it have to be only a car that moves you from point a to point b. Of course, it has to have a good gas mileage, enough space and good reliability (being simple buid), this car has it. However, if you want speed, power, nice interior, nice lay out, a lot of space this car is not for you. If you want to impress the girls in the parking lot with this car, they gonna laugh of you.Apr 14, 2008

That Cavalier "Z24" is and economy car blessed with a taste of some American muscle. Its apparent that this car was to showcase the Chevy could build a practical, reliable, yet sporty car that could be just as fun to drive as and Camaro or maybe even a Corvette. If your like me and need a practical car however want some amount of performance out of your car and money is a issue. Then the Z24 Cavalier maybe right for you.Apr 04, 2008

She is one of the many to follow the golden age of muscle cars, layout the same as a one should be - low ride height, good power to weight racio, two-door coupe, a long bulky bonnet and those wents on it.. as if puffing for air like he's ready to eat the car infront of it, "GRRRR, get out of my way or i'll devour you!! ". But don't be fooled - Frankenstine looked scary, but had a heart of a puppy underneath. So does this Z24. It has a 3.1 L petrol engine and roughly 147 bhp and loads of torque for such a small car. It is a formidable amount but.. It is a front wheel drive. Even worse, it has suspension made of jelly, the torque-steer is horrible and the brakes feel like they only have on and off switch - on minute you're fine, the other your teeth marks are on the steering wheel. Even more, you don't want to get around a curb, because if the understeer won't kill you, the tree that you hit, most likely will. The interior.. well, by even the standards of back then, it was quite cheap, and it still is. And in time, it only gets worse. Putting all that behind, she does have a fiew of her moments, that V6 sounds like harmony and the way she looks, well, she is a looker! So my advice, if you want a daily driver, don't buy her, if you want something to replace your girlfriend, this car is the one for you!Dec 30, 2007
