I had one wen I was 19 in 1988.. Thought I stole it. Oneowner 33000 some miles fully loaded minus sunroof.. To this day still one of if not finest car to drive.. Had a good torque at high rpm, so would surprise cars at roll.. Great in curvey roads.. Wasn't Andretti at it, but the stang n Camero boys dint want it.. A V6 leaving a V8.. Imports lil harder.. But seriously was a sound car, minus the genius who thought of the pesky MAP or whoever censor in the air tube thing.. Literally unplugged it. Lost 2.5 or so MPG vrs another $250-275 to keep fixing.. (only year. Go fig). Lil work a contender today still I think.. It peers like Escort Gt, the Probe not even close especially looks and interiors.. Celina gt/ Supra another one surprised by.. Now will say straight line Stang n Camero guys HD the top end straight line 1/4 mi and above 128(dumb cop friend = R gun so) and that was at its screaming lucky it held most.. RECOMEND IF PRICE IS GOOD..

A great, affordable, and simple car. This car isn't suppose to be a big luxury filled family car, this is purpose built as a nice day to day commuting car and it does that perfectly. It looks nice for a cheap coupe and offers all the features needed for lust a daily driver. Because it doesn't have electric windows, seats, locks, or turbo's and other equipment the car is extremely easy and cheap to maintain. When the weather gets rough this car will overtake 4x4s and AWD cars because of how well it can get through the snow. I also know that many of these cars have well over 400000 km's on the odometer. Just a greatly reliable vehicle.

This midsize compact was a strong seller for Chevrolet between its introduction in 1982 and the end of the line in 2005. The Chevrolet Cavalier was a popular car for first-time buyers, thanks to its low sticker price and interior comforts.
Competing with cars like the Toyota Camry, the Ford Focus, and the Honda Accord, the Chevy Cavalier was designed to be economical without being too spare for pampered American drivers. The Cavalier was economical with fuel, as well; during its lifetime, the importance of fuel efficiency may have waxed and waned with the buying public at large, but Chevrolet kept the faith with successive generations of the Cavalier.
Bodystyles offered for the Cavalier included a sedan and a coupe; a convertible was available in some model years (at times, the Cavalier convertible was the only American-made convertible on the market).
Although the Cavalier was popular with drivers, it was not always a favorite of safety testers. Some years' models had less than stellar outcomes on independent crash tests.
In 2005, Chevrolet discontinued the Cavalier after its 23-year run. Its successors in the Chevrolet family are the Cobalt and the Aveo, neither of which seems to have captured drivers' attention the way the Cavalier did in its day.
