1989 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America

"Extremely reliable and nice looking car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had no major problems with this care so far. I have put a new battery, shocks and struts, brakes and rotors, a transmission pan gasket, and a serpentine belt in the car. All routine maintenance for a car of this age.

General comments?

This was an old ladies car with 26000 miles on it that I bought for a song 2 years ago. The car sat in a garage and probably never saw rain or snow until I got my paws on it, so it is in ridiculously good condition for its age. I replaced the stock 13 inch rims with 1995 z24 15 inch rims. This made a huge difference in handling and general comfort while driving the car. Yeah, my headliner has fallen a bit too, but what do you want for a car that's 17 years old. I couldn't hold myself up for that long either. There is no rust anywhere on the car thanks to the old ladies investment in Ziebart, her garage, and the fact that she didn't drive it. Unfortunately, when she did drive, she did it poorly as evidenced by the scuff marks on every corner bumper on the car. I tried to buff them out, but I couldn't get them all. A beautiful and reliable car that handles extremely well. If only my wife would let me super-charge it, then it would be REALLY fun. As it is, it is a great and probably rare car.
