1996 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America
"A great car for daily transportation with ok gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuse for my left rear blinker was always shorting out.
Like most Cavaliers, my biggest problem was that the starter went dead around 117000 miles.
My A/C never truly performed well either.
General comments?
Overall it was a good car, but nothing to really write home about.
It performed when it needed to, but did not accelerate quickly by any means.
