1996 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America
"Yuck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket.
Spark plugs.
Passenger door stuck closed.
Locks freeze in cold weather.
Trim coming off.
General comments?
Terrible.
I put more money into this car in one year than I did in my old car in 5 years.
It has poor handling, weak acceleration, and the tires are noisy.
No interior storage space, trunk is small too.
Stereo leaves a lot to be desired.
Check engine light comes on all the time.
