I have a cav 2000 LS 300,000 miles still runs like new. Love it.☝😃

I'm in Wi.in the winter salt belt with our 2005 twin of Cavalier. your right the 140 hp engine is peppy The only problem I can see for a car like that is there a kid car . somebody commuting to collage or something like that. Kids got good bones & joints. Then they care less, if it rides rough. So ours is 19 years old about 140,000 miles. I had to work on it , this year or it would of had to go to the junk yard. ( Because we were not going to pay over $2,000 for repairs) GM made a lower crossmember the engine doesn't hook to. But it's made out of to thin of metal and will not take the Midwest rust and crumbles like a rusty exhaust. Then the lower control arms loose there sturdiness'. I also replace the power steering rack, and both hoses and tie rod ends. then you have to pay for alignment.

You hit this nail right on the head man. Personally I LOVE my Cavalier, it hit 230,000 miles before the frame broke so it’s no longer with me but I paid a whopping $600 for it on FB and it paid me back 100 times over. Gas mileage was phenomenal as you said, when I drove it all the way from Ohio to Myrtle Beach I was filling up at about half a tank for every stop and in between those fuel stops I was getting around 200 miles and the tank wasn’t even empty yet. They feel a lot quicker than the 115 horsepower that they’re rated for too. I loved everything about mine and I’m on the hunt to find another because I’m just not ready to give up the great adventures I had in my old one just yet. Thank you for this informative video, I would recommend these cars to literally anybody. You just can’t beat them!😄

Does it handle decent in the snow for how small it is?

I have a 2003 2D chevy cavalier automatic! My question is how much it cost you to make it into a manual??

It is still a nice car. Too bad you don't see them around much anymore like it used to be

I've got four 2nd gen (88-94) V6 Cavaliers. Three Z24's (2) coupes (1) convertible. And a wagon. Love these cars. Very reliable and fun to drive. Here is a short video of the four of them together after I moved from Fla to NC. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pL2pqsKq1qvVZmQ.html

Have an 02 manual base cavalier, it's old reliable. Made it across the country on 200k plus miles.
