1989 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America
"A great car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went, warped the head. Cost of rebuild: $300 Most of that was labor. Planed the warped head and put it back together.
Experienced a stalling problem about a year ago. Difficult to pin-point the exact problem. Replaced about $200 worth of sensors and other things and fixed the problem.
Other than that, no problems in 12 years!
General comments?
This car is great.
Still runs like new.
Love the gas mileage.
Due to rust evader system, no rust until a year ago.
I added a tow hitch and it tows a snowmobile or 4-wheeler easily.
