At 240000 Kilometers I had to change the clutch. it was so expensive. Cost me about $800 for a replacement.

General Comments:

The Cavalier was the most enjoyable car I ever owned. I liked its performance so much. Although the dealer was so poor and the spare parts were so expensive, I liked the car so much. It really gives the feeling of a sports car.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
