1997 Chevrolet Cavalier LS review from North America
"A great car and great price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My brake pads went out at 50000 miles.
It needed tuned up at 65000 miles, new spark plugs and wires.
My window washer fluid pump went out at 75000 miles.
The ignition switch was recalled by chevy, never had a problem to begin with.
The back struts had to be replaced at 80000 miles.
General comments?
The car has been the best car I've ever owned. It is a great car for just about anything.
It gets great gas mileage, you can travel about 350 miles on a tank of gas.
It looks great and handles very well.
The back seat is very small, but the front seats have plenty of room.
I would recommend it to anyone.
Chevy makes a great car.
