1996 Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe review from North America
"Cheap, reliable transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Plastic trim on the seats have broken off exposing unsightly mechanisms.
Fan motor makes a high-pitched squealing noise.
General comments?
The car looks great, handles fairly, and was a good bargain.
The 2.2L doesn't deliver a lot of power, but the manual makes it more fun to drive.
In an entire year of ownership, I haven't had any major problems with the car. I would definitely buy another one.
