I didn't notice the things when I first bought the car.
Rack and pinion gotta be replaced.
Right front wheel hub assembly has stripped bolts (was hidden behind hubcap)
Driver Seat headrest broken (lol dunno how I missed that). Could snap my neck or bad whiplash.
Problem with Transmission. Kicks with the slightest touch of contact with gas peddle. Causes problems with fuel consumption.
Second car I had within a span of 8 months. I didn't notice the thing had been rebuilt till I bought the wretched thing. It has problems with the slight touch of the gas peddle. As suck it has the gas cunsumption of an SUV or something bigger in the cities. Shady dealer wouldn't do anything to help me with all the problems the car had before I got it.
As soon as thing is paid off (if it lasts that long), I'm selling it ASAP before something does happen to break. Gets decent highway mileage. City mileage is horrible.
It handles OK. Due too bad transmission it sometimes doesn't go when I want it too and had a few close calls, living in a city with my bad driving habits (who doesn't these days lol).
On long drives it isn't so bad having cruise control staying at a constant speed and not having to touch the peddle consuming more gas. Seats are comfy enough being just an inch below 6 feet.
Also the dealership I dealt with does their own safety inspection so they probably didn't want to spend to much money to safety the thing.
Hello again, I am the original poster of this 99 cavalier review. Well it happened to late for me. The car went before I could get rid of it. Head cylinder had a crack and was gulping down more coolant faster then I could gulp down Pepsi. I have swapped it at an even trade for a 93 chev S10 blazer. Thought I put a fast one on him too. I found out the thing had a bad heater core and now it's Winter. I also found out the hard way that the thing is a permanent 4X4. I didn't even know they made those then. The dealer and I both got screwed with crappy vehicles. My luck keeps gettin better and better.
