1989 Chevrolet Cavalier RS review from North America
"An economic masterpiece"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
99% of the problems we had with the car were accident induced. When the car had about 100,000 miles we got in a near head on collision and we opted to keep the original motor because of money shortages. We regreted that because we never could get it back to perfect operating condition.
General comments?
Great car. We went everywhere in it and it survived my driving so obviously it's almost invincible.
Could carry five people, handled well, looked cool, accelerated decently (faster than every other economy car) and lasted a very long time. If you're short on money and want an awesome car, get a Cavalier.
