1990 Chevrolet Cavalier Base Coupe review from North America
"Highly reliable, economic transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear drum brake cylinder needed replacing.
Radiator was replaced.
Windshield wiper switch in steering column caught fire.
Needed new ignition module and crank sensor.
Lock-up converter isn't working properly, possibly need a new TSS module for the transmission.
General comments?
Overall, I love this car. Aside from my recent transmission and ignition module problems, the car has been fantastic. It is a highly reliable and cheap to maintain.
This car is definitely not a sports car. It performs well, but don't think you're getting a race car.
