1998 Chevrolet Cavalier Base Sedan review from North America
"Dependable and cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission broke down around 56000 miles.
Engine occasionally overheats, resulting in a loss of power.
Cup holders not ergonomically placed.
General comments?
Decent fuel economy.
You can run the engine hard as you want with no wear separate from normal wear and tear. Very durable.
Not real fast.
