1997 Chevrolet Cavalier LS review from North America
"Great car for the price and great gas mileage, about 28-31 depending on conditions"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had it in the shop for all covered recall items. Tires replaced at 78995 miles with lots of wear left. Back shocks rattled when I first got it and were replaced under warranty. Fuel pump replaced at 5000 miles and was under warranty.
General comments?
Small windshield leak, but seems to have fixed itself.
