1997 Chevrolet Cavalier LS review from North America
"Well built starter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I broke the flex pipe that connects to the exhaust manifold, but other that routine maintenance, the car has had no major repairs. I have a dealer report and all that is recorded is that the brakes got changed once and ten or so oil changes. The car has been perfect for the previous owner and myself up to this point.
General comments?
The cars runs good, still has power, and is holding together well at 104000 miles. I am impressed thus far.
