1996 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought my car used a few months ago and just last week it didn't start. I had it towed to the shop and the guy said the fuel pump needed replacing. $900 later, it still didn't start. Now it could be the engine computer. They pulled off the front bumper and noticed that the seal on the computer was broken, and water was leaking in. They simply dried it out with a heat gun and resealed it with some silicon, and the thing works great now.
General comments?
The car is good, take care of it, IE. change the antifreeze regularly as it will eat the head gasket quickly.
