1992 Chevrolet Cavalier Station Wagon review from North America
"Faithful long distance performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the water pump, radiator and gas tank. The alternator went out on the 12th day of my last trip (17 000km). Keep in mind that I had a cooler plugged in the cigarette lighter @ 4 amps, and my JBL amp can pull up to 50.
General comments?
This is the first GM I bought and have been very impressed. The 2.2 has a nice amount of pep. I have driven from southern Quebec to Los Angeles three times in the past 8 months, without a problem, the gas costing me about 500$ per trip (always driving on the speed limit).
