What does everyone think about their cavalier? List the pros and cons about your car, and things you wish could be better.

I have a 2001 Z24 with the GM supercharger package and i love it. Handles well, rides decent, and tons of power to spare. If i could change one thing it would be the interior, needs a little pizzaz and to remove the squeaks.

I love my Cavy. Could stand more power, but hey, what doesnt...?

[Classicrocjunkie]

uhh.... I love the handling ( upgrades Eibach Prokit and KYB AGX), Its pretty peppy for an OHV N/A. Things i don't like. My wheel bearings in front a shot right now, so i am going to say that!

I have a 94 RS 2.2 litre all stock that I have owned for many years. Still rides, drives, and looks like new. I love this car.

Pros: Ample power for me.
Good on gas.
Paid for long ago.

Cons:Can't think of any.

yep. my 93 cav is awsome. except for the damn transmission. slips in first gear when its warm. i'll probably switch over to an 03 grand prix.

What is up? My old 94 2.2L is fairly quick(for econo 4cyl), revs quick thanks to the stock roller cam. At least it is able to keep up with traffic with ease. Is the new 2.2L lower Hp/torque than the older design?

115hp. Hey...at least I can out run most KIAs.

ROFL!

I have a 2002 Cavy LS Sport Coupe, Automatic (I got the crappy SFI 2200 Sunfire Engine, my biggest complaint. What I'd do for the Ecotec)

Pro's.
-Pretty gas efficient. Which is nice with gas prices avg. about $2.57/gal here in Southern California
-Huge availability of selection for aftermarket mods
-Looks pretty decent stock if you strip off all the badges
-Comfortable interior

Cons.
-Lacks power. ALthough I've recently discovered that manually shifting an automatic, I can beat stock base eclipse's. Teehee
-Pretty low quality interior, although comfortable cheap interior
-I think the car was made for a woman, not enough room inside

It's my first 'new' car, so I couldnt be picky, building credit sucks. Although I do have a lot of complaints, anytime I drive a family members focus, I kiss my cavy and apologize for making fun of it.

Wow. My old '94 2.2L is 150HP. I guess that is the difference.

did you just say your 94 2.2 puts out 150hp?? i know thats not stock, what all have you done to it??

[public]

It is all stock. I read the rating somewhere. A quick search I just found this page that states 120hp http://auto.consumerguide.com/Auto/U...reviewshowall/ I suppose it could be an increase in torque getting me off the line??? It shows the V6 at 140hp, maybe that is what I read??? Remember- I am retarded : Perhaps the previous owner put in a chip. I have had the entire top end apart and did not see any non-stock parts. I do have to say it is a very jumpy little car with very tight throttle response.

I also have a 1989 2.0L rated at 88hp-it SUCKS. It doesn't even get as good MPG as the 94. I guess because it is ALWAYS floored just to move.

I haven't posted here in so long!

I like my 04 LS Sport Coupe! I got it because it had everything, the sunroof, power mirrrors, power windows, CD, cruise, XM Satelite, OnStar, spoiler, everything I wanted! It's an automatic. I could have gotten one with a standard trans but that one didn't have the sunroof. Mine is also orange, I fell in love with it when I saw it! It's comfortable and FUN to drive!

My only complaint is there are a few dash board squeeks and one squeek coming from somewhere to the right of me. Haven't figured that one out.

(2002 OHV Cavalier 4 door 5 speed manual) Could have used better quality plastic for the interior. Seats on the base model aren't supportive but the cloth material holds up very well. Other than that I think the Cavalier is the absolute best small car for the money. Very dependable and fuel efficient. Mine gets no less than 30 mpg. average and has done as well as 39 mpg. on a trip. No problems so far. Recently did a front brake job with rotors (40 bucks tax included gotta love domestic parts prices).
