Reliable, but falls apart... Like any car of the early 90's lol. - Performance - 2.2 inline 4, 110 WHP/ 130lb torque, 4wh. ABS, back drums. Pretty good handling for a compact car, but not completely autobahn/landstrasse worthy. - Build Quality - Needed no major repairs, just tires, typical electrical system (Alternator, Battery, etc.) Plugs, Wires, Brakes, Oil and oil/air filters. - Appearance - Looks okay for a sporty, yet economical 90's 4-cyl car. Comfortable, yet practical interior. Exterior with black trimming looks pretty crappy. Tears off, or breaks off. Otherwise coloring and detailing is pretty reasonable. - Cost of Ownership - The car gets an average of 33 mpg, being that it's a 5 speed. On longer trips, I've calculated an average of 38.7 MPG on HIGHWAY. In TOWN, I get about 28/29 MPG. Maintenence is relatively cheap, whether needing new, rebuilt, or refurbished parts. Junk yards are pretty cavalier-friendly. Parts for these cars are found almost in any Autoparts store. Otherwise, in the next few years, they'll be going out of stock!! This car is pretty fun to drive, whether hot roddin' it up (purrs when dormant, roars when anxious..) or just cruisin' around the block. I'd definitely buy another Cavalier... or their replacement, the COBALT. :)
