1997 Chevrolet Cavalier LX review from North America
"A slow car with a big price tag"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace both doors because of rust and the motor started knocking at 50,000 miles. It was the crankshaft.
Leather seats are now faded.
General comments?
This car is alright if you want a reliable, slow car. It is perfect for the young teenagers out there looking for a sporty ride, but if its real performance your looking for, look elsewhere. These cars arnt built to last, they have no resale value, and they arnt worth what you pay for them. If you want a car that's as sporty as it looks, buy a mustang, don't buy one of these.

  | A dependable, good-looking car |
| It's great to drive to softball practice, or even to visit college -- just not constantly reliable |
