1997 Chevrolet Cavalier sedan review from North America
"An extremely reliable, great-looking car that fits nicely into an average family budget!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only items I've had to replace on the vehicle are brake pads and wiper blades which are the result of normal wear and tear.
Front driver's side carpeting is wearing badly.
General comments?
This vehicle has been extremely reliable for me and my family (which includes husband and two boys ages 9 and 14).
Car handles very well and is a joy to drive.
Interior is basic, but that's OK with me.
Paint is holding up great. Color is a candy-apple red, and there are times when I see my car from a distance before realizing it's mine and think "Wow, now that's a striking color!"
Body style is sporty and, again, there are times when I catch a glimpse of it before realizing it's my car and think that it's an impressive-looking vehicle.
