1993 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America
"Great performace for an older car, wish I had this car when it was brand new!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing did go wrong with the car durning the first year I had this car. After the second year, Normal wear and tear started to set in.
The brakes went out. It felt like my brakes were hanging and I was sitting side ways. Had complete brake job done. Everything thing was replaced like rotors, brake lines, pads, and drums. I was smelling radiator fluids. The dealer said it was my water pump. They replaced all hoes, and the pump.
My heater coil went out. I am still smelling raditor fluid somewheres and I seen drops of it under the car, but its not over heating, and the temp gage says its fine, so every now and then I fill up the radiator.
My Clutch went out, and them put in a new one. The only thing I am having problems with it is that the stick is breaking from the firewall, and it had to be bolted down two times. I am not sure how long it will last this time. I am hoping it will last.
Over all the car is great to drive, does rust, leaks around the windows, headliner is coming down due to leak, and underneath the car is rusting.
The car speed is great. It picks up speed and go fast, but it has gave me great joy in driving this car.
General comments?
The car runs great and gets me there every time I need to be.
