1993 Chevrolet Cavalier 4 Door review from North America
"Great car - will keep until it dies for good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the radiator replaced in about 2001, heater core in 2007, and alternator twice. The driver's seat has had much use, obviously, considering the amount of miles I have put on it, so it has deteriorated on the side by the door.
General comments?
I love this car! I have driven it all over the western US and commuted in it off and on, and it's still running. It's reliable considering today's vehicles, and I liked it so much we added a 2003 Cavalier to our household. I must say the 4 door 1994 Cavalier handles much better than the 2003 2 door. The 1994 hugs the road well and handles quite well for a 4 door vehicle. It has a strong body that still feels like it was made from steel, versus the tinny body of the 2003. The backseat is tight - good for kids, but not for anyone over 5'8". The power is good for a 4 cylinder, except on hills unless you get a good running start. All in all, I would recommend this car and will drive it until it drops since the resale value at this point is nil.
