1993 Chevrolet Cavalier RS review from North America
"Best Car I ever owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a starter problem shortly after purchasing this care. Manufacturers defect. Replaced by dealer.
I kept up the basic maintenance for this car and I didn't have any major repairs at all. Muffler/catalytic converter went well into the kms.
Really good engine, recommend the 3.1 over all of them.
Drove primarily highway miles.
Oil leak started (ran over a dead animal is the culprit) car went down hill.
General comments?
This is absolutely the best car I have ever owned! I previously couldn't justify buying a new car, but this was my first.
I drove this car HARD. Like a truck and she took it mile for mile. It was always loaded down with something... rocks or dirt in the trunk or filled up to capacity with people with no noticeable difference in the handling.
Sporty, very fast pick up and a fun car to drive too. Pulling out onto highway via ramps is lightning fast and surprises the heck out of cars that 'appear' to be faster! :-)
I absolutely loved this car and it was good to me, unfortunately after I hit/ran over a deer (big one for this car!) She started to go down hill, with oil leaking into starter case and such. So I had to retire it, someone else picked it up to fix up for his son and apparently he's still driving it!
Lots of room for traveling.
