1989 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America
"Very dependable car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only things that have gone wrong with this car were probably due to poor maintenance with the previous owner and due to the fact that the car IS getting old.
The car rolls over several times before starting because the fuel injectors get clogged and need cleaned by hand every few months.
Also, some of the fuel sensors have gone bad and needed replacing.
The brake shoes needed replacing.
General comments?
Other than that it is honestly a good car! It gets good gas mileage, it has never broken down or overheated and it is overall a very dependable little car! This was my first car and It served it's purpose well! The car still runs well, but I am looking for a nicer looking car for college- since I was so happy with my 1989 Cavalier I decided to go with a 2000 Cavalier-which I am also very pleased with!
