1994 Chevrolet Cavalier RS Coupe 2D from North America - Comments

Run Great... no problem till 100,0000 miles. Than all of a sudden the car started braking down... Problems started following...

Major problems (including labor) :

* Water pump 103000mi

* Heater Core 115000mi

* Struts & Socks 117000mi

* Alignment 118000mi

* Head gasket 119000mi

* Transmission Sensor 121000mi.

End up spending about $5,000-$6,000.

I have maintained this car v.well. Car requires gas treatment every other tank, used good qty oil change... Most of the time used 76 Regular for city & premium for long distance. You will notice huge performance.

Here is something you won't believe, but it's 101% true... I GOT 40-45 MPG till 125,000 when I sold my car. This is true. Tank lasted 3-4 weeks city. From Hayward, CA to Los Angeles, CA (450 Miles) single tank & still had enough to drive around 1-2 days. God knows what that engine had... Never had any problem till 100,000 miles other than oil change & tires & battery.

I own a 1994 Cavalier RS coupe. I have 250,000 miles on the original engine. The only major problem I have encountered is the head gasket at about 120,000 miles. Great commuter car. It is a 5-speed and I have taken it on long trips and actually got 48 MPG. I still get average of 36 mpg with 250,000 on the engine. On long trips I still get over 40 mpg. Great little car for the price.

I personally envy anybody who has gotten 250k miles out of a Chevy Cavalier. I personally have gotten 110k out of mine, and now everything's going wrong. I still drive it, but I just graduated from college and found a job, so who know what I'm gonna do with it next.

Just 2 months ago I had a rs 2d...i had over 290,000km on it and it was still running like it was new when someone hit it when it was parked... so basically I really liked the car.
