1987 Chevrolet Cavalier CS Hatchback review from North America

"Tons of fun for the $200 I bought it for and 45 mile to the gallon to boot"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

First in my poor cars defense it was used as a farm vehicle since 1987. So it saw lots of abuse. All of the below parts were needed because of this abuse.

I have been through 2 starters, both easily replaced. It has received one new alternator and a battery.

I replaced the entire exhaust system with a high performance one for added fun. The horsepower may be lacking, but it more than makes up for it with its torque and this added noticeable difference. Including the oxygen sensor and dough-nut gasket.

It was blessed with new shocks and struts.

Engine is currently blowing oil all over the place, but it still runs, go Chevy go.

General comments?

Like a rock indeed all that broke was a sensor on the side of the engine. I will not sell this car until the rust completely takes over if I give it the chance to. The Acceleration is awesome top-end is lacking and it stops and turns quickly at any speed.
