1999 Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe review from North America
"Overall decent car, but when it needs repairing, it needs major repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Entire front end needed work.
Brakes, ball joints were all in poor condition. Mechanic cited it as "normal wear and tear"
Wheel bearings needed to be replaced.
Horn was faulty, worked about half of the time.
Trunk latch broke.
Lining around driver door came loose.
General comments?
It's a decent car, and I've had good luck with it thus far.
I bought it used in June 2003, and the first time I had to have it repaired was in June 2005. In all, it cost about $1500 for the entire front end repairs.
