1999 Chevrolet Cavalier 2-door review from North America
"Great quality for a low price, great fuel economy and great looks!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Daytime running lights did not work due to a broken wire.
Steering rack needed to be replaced.
Windshield washer did not work (cost me nothing but the price of the steering rack to get it fixed because I am a mechanic)
General comments?
This is a sharp, sporty looking car. Base model 2-door, it's teal and the paint shines like new.
I bought it with 139000 and continued to drive it. Now it has 148000, but I'm not planning on getting rid of it anytime soon.
The steering is very tight and responsive.
It is a bit of a pain for me to have a two-door with a kid still living at home (gets in the back), but this car has been very very dependable and I only bought it for $1500!
It has no power options or cruise control, but it has rear defrost and AM/FM stereo/cassette, and antilock brakes.
I highly recommend this car to anybody who needs a reliable ride!
