1984 Chevrolet Cavalier Base review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mechanically, nothing - for 15 years. Cosmetically it's not great, the hood and doors are rusting badly, and interior trim bits are starting to fall off.
General comments?
The best piece of junk ever made. Sure it's slow, and the ride is lumpy, and the handling limits are alarmingly low, but this car has not broken down in 15 years and you have to love it for that.
