Used 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier Sedan Consumer Reviews

I bought this car for $850 from some shady dude. I was skeptical since it’s my first time buying a car but I think I got a pretty good deal! Car has 208k miles on it and it runs like a champ. I’ve owned it for around 6 months now, drive it everyday for work. Gas mileage is amazing, 15 bucks fills the tank and it lasts around a week and half! It handles beautifully and it’s pretty fast too. It currently has only 2 issues, the gas gauge went bad and it needs the passenger side engine mount replaced, but it’s nothing serious or that can’t be fixed. I truly recommend this car if you’re looking for your first car.

Not a fancy car but great value. 65k miles and only replaced starter (03), alternator (07), 2 tires (06), brakes (06), and AC (06) so far. For the price I paid it’s great.

I had two recalls. That is good in my book. This car is great on fuel and cheap to run. Overall it’s a great car. Even at 270,000 km it’s running great.

This is my second Cavelier, bought new
in 1997. For both of them, the engines
held up extrememly well as I piled on
the miles, but they were not
particularly exciting to drive. In
hindsight, I should have plunked down
the money for a Honda Civic for not much
difference in price and gotten a little
better milage and better long term
reliability and resale value.

My cavalier has been an amazing car! I purchased it in 2009 with 140,000 miles and now 9 years later it is still running with 224,000 miles. Of course as with any car, I have had to do regular maintenance as well as some wear and tear repairs. I had one major repair of the head gasket in 2012, but seeing as the car has continued to run great for another 6 years, I would say it was definitely worth the investment. This car gives me freedom to drive through town, explore in the the country and travel on interstate trips.

I am an 18 year old male driver! I
have run this car into the ground and
it still runs like new… I have put
about 50,000 miles on this car in about
5 months and I have never had any
problems with it.. Works great, never
breaks down, good gas mileage, etc.
Perfect all-around car

Alright, so my first car was a little more expensive than what most teens got at my school. However, it was definitely worth the investment compared to the “junkers” my friends bought. I’ve only had one thing go wrong with my little Cavalier, and that was due to a poor mechanic. Not only that, but my little car was able to plow its way down the road on snowy Michigan roads that had sometimes a foot of snow.

I have recently come to own a cavalier. Now I’m no stranger to understanding a good car from a bad one, and this one is certainly on the downer list. I can respectfully say deigned interior well, decent on gas. But lacks in power and suspension is weak. Car wasn’t abused too badly but will look to get rid of this horrible lil car as soon as possible. I do not recommend this car to anyone. These cars were designed poorly. For a 4 dr it should have more power so that when you do have passengers it doesn’t sound like the engine has to work so hard. Driver and maybe one passenger, that’s it.

I bought the car new at the beginning
of 1998. Within four months/4,000
miles, the car had its first problem–
ruptured fuel pump I think–and that
was only the beginning. Over the
course of the next two or so years, the
car, an automatic, would sporadically
stall without warning or cause. On top
of all that, GM refused to acknowledge
the problem until the car stalled out
as I was leaving the dealership.
Anyway, I sold the car during summer
2000 and bought a Protege–I couldn’t
be happier with the new car.
