1995 Chevrolet Cavalier Reviews - Page 2 of 7

The ignition cables went at 80 000 km.

The heater core went at 100 000 km.

The front bearings went around 102 000 km.

The engine & transmission mounts went at 105 000 km.

The defective breaks had to be completely replaced at 110 000 km.

Again, the heater core went at 125 000 km.

The head-gasket went at 135 000 km.

At 140 000 km the car went where it belongs, the junk yard.

Lots of annoying squeaks and rattles.

A nasty sloppy transmission, loose steering.

Horrid interior, tons of road noise.

No tachometer, just a light pops on to say shift up, real clever place to cut corners...

It was pretty good on gas, not a bad looking car.

Had a decent bit of power.

Overall I was not impressed one bit.

The GM service was horrible. Very expensive, poor quality work, that always breaks just outside of warranty. It made me feel like a sucker every time I stepped foot in the dealership.

There is a reason these cars have poor resale value, because its cheaper to buy a new one than maintain it.

Motor Mounts went out at around 75K

Air Conditioning Compressor went out at around 75K

Oil Leak - needed new gasket at 75K

Didn't pass emission test at 82K.

Was a great car for 10 years. Almost no repairs needed. Then, suddenly at 75K, everything started going wrong with it.

Replaced Alternator 2004.

The spoiler cracked.

Paint is starting to peel on the trunk and rust.

This is the first car I have owned. The car overall has been great!!

I installed a coilpack and a standard tune up, plugs and wires.

I cannot complain at all about this car, runs excellent, work out of it every day. car has remained A1.

Speedometer stopped working.

Trunk latch doesn't open anymore.

Passenger seat doesn't function correctly.

Air hose was going out, but I was replacing it with a cold air intake anyway.

Nice healthy car overall, it is an awesome car to apply custom parts too. I have a body kit, neon's, and lots of other dress up and performance parts on my car and it's the best looking car in-town. It runs strong still with 150,000 miles on it. If you are looking for a affordable, dependable, and strong running car, I would recommend the Chevy Cavalier.

I had the car 3 hours and the tire went flat. All 4 were rotted out. Cost: $400.

Car had a "leak and a squeak". Took it to my mechanic and had new tensioner belt motor replaced along with serpentine belt. Cost: $360.00.

Another noise a week later: Crank Shaft Pulley was leaking over motor mounts and torque mount. Crank Shaft had to be replaced and new oil put in. Cost: $460.00.

Had the car now 8 months and heard another "noise" under the hood. Compressor this time. Had to be put in and to warranty it had to get accumulator and filter and freon, $877.

Drove out of mechanic's shop and car was bouncing all over the place. Appears I need now a new Idler belt.

I haven't put, but 700 miles on this car, which had 28,031 original miles and I've almost paid in repairs as much as I paid for the car. (paid for car $3,000) Repairs so far: $2,100. I am elderly, disabled and wanted a car to get me around. What a mistake I made. What's next with this car I don't know, but I am positive something will go wrong, it has every month I've had it.

The car is adorable and a good size for a person alone.

The car however seems to need repairs, and major ones at that, weekly.

Great Mileage, but am spending that extra gas money on repairs.
