1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS review from North America
"Good car, cheap and fun to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power window motor broke, replaced, $250.
Needed new front struts/mounts: $660.
Other general maintenance things: tires, oil, transmission fluid etc...
General comments?
This has been a great car. It is fairly powerful, it runs well, and has been a cheap car to maintain. As it ages I'm not so sure what problems might occur, but so far so good!
Recommended.
And if I get a new car in a few years, I will definitely consider its successor, the Chevy Cobalt!
