1990 Chevrolet Cavalier CL review from North America
"A Good Quality Automobile, certainly better than Ford!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Before I bought the car it got a brand new clutch, computer, and radiator. After I bought it I had to put in a new Valve Cover Gasket, and starter, which was about $200 (CAN). Right now there is a squeaky noise by the driver's side door which is driving me crazy, but it should be able to fix easily. Could use new tires. Needs new paint as-well.
General comments?
This car is overall pretty good. I would recommend it for sure, to teenagers for a first car. Me being one, I have found this to be an exceptional car. No major problems. It has good acceleration for a little 4 banger. I love the manual transmission! The only things I wish it did have, are air conditioning and anti lock brakes, and a 3.1 V6. The interior is plain, but I don't care. Not too bad of a sound system for stock. Also, it doesn't have those stupid stock Chevrolet Cavalier?Pontiac Sunbird rims.
