1998 Chevrolet Cavalier RS review from North America
"Chevrolet Cavaliers are junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace all the running gear parts in the front end 3 times before it reached 185,000 miles.
The automatic transmission just started to act up and won't shift right.
I went from getting almost 37 miles per gallon to about 23 miles per gallon with no explanation.
I have replaced the EGR valve and the millage is still about 23 per gallon.
General comments?
This is the worst car I have ever owned.
The fact that I have to worry weather or not I will make it to my destination when ever I get behind the wheel doesn't really settle well.
I have owned some clunkers in my day, but this is by far the worst.
In 3 years of ownership I have dumped more than $3700.00 into it.
I would not recommend this car to my worst enemy.
