1991 Chevrolet Cavalier RS from North America - Comments

Just about everything. It was a junk monkey. I bought it for $5,000, and had it for 3 years. In those three years I put over $5,000 into it.

The head gacket blew after one year, the brakes have been changed twice, the key starter went, and to top it all off, the transmission slowly went, and now there is NO, that's right NO reverse. I'm sure there is more I'm not remembering.

Don't ever buy one! I was a poor student at this time, and it gets pretty hard with that much cart maintenance on top of University fees.

I'm a proud owner of a 1991 cavalier rs and currently have 210000 miles on it and still running strong.

Thanks chevrolet.

I have 91 cavalier rs sdn with 240000 miles. I drive it as hard as I can. I put about 30000 miles a year on it.

Completely satisfied.

I have a 91 cavalier that I have been delivering pizzas in for 3 years and I have passed 300000/kms without any major problems.

Great Car!

I have a '91 Cavalier with 132,000+ miles on it. The car has held up through a lot--teaching a teen to drive a manual transmission, extreme heat and cold, and driving through mountains.

With proper upkeep and common sense, this is a good car.

I've seen a lot of comments regarding expenses associated with maintaining the vehicle and I was taken aback. I'm thinking mechanics may have given a run for money.

However, this is a simple car--most repairs you can D.I.Y. Auto parts for this car are a dime a dozen. I have yet to encounter a maintenance job to exceed $150--excluding major items like AC & Transmission.

All you need to do is keep your car properly maintained. Do oil checkups every 3k miles, change the fluids every few months etc. Don't slam on your brakes, and alternatively don't rev the engine like no tomorrow. Cars can last you past 250k miles if you take care of them right... just don't blow it. And by the way, all Chevrolet cavaliers are covered under Chevy's hidden warranty with gasket heads, and maybe alternators. I know for a fact that 92,93,95, and 96 are covered in the US and 94's are covered in Canada... just talk to a dealer, and stop getting ripped off by mechanics.

91 cavalier 400,000 km!

I love this thing!!!

Just brought home a 91 today... pulled it off the trailer started it up after it sat for 6 months in someones back yard and almost burnt the tires right off the thing... this little car has amazing power with the 3.1 MPFI it only has a 130000 km on it... best $300 bucks I ever spent!!!
