1985 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America
"A ugly, great running car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires are always going flat, but that could be because their second hand.
Rusts like a dream, ugly even with my custom paint job with Tremclad (not recommended)
Bad gas mileage.
Heater went due to old age.
General comments?
If you don't mind a ugly, slow car that is bad on gas this is a great deal for you, over the 5 years I have owned the car it has never broken down, started right up in -25 C weather on the ski mountain last year when no one thought it would start, great in the snow/rain, and off roading.
