The most reliable car I’ve ever owned

I’ve owned this car since 2002 and it’s still running good. Except for some air conditioning issues, this car has been so reliable. I’ve had to put front brake pads on it several times but i sure got my money’s worth on it. It has 205k miles and still runs great. I won’t trade it off until it just quits running, however much longer that is! I love it!!

Most reliable car I’ve ever had

I got a ‘99 sedan as my first car, I paid 500 for it from my brother, who bought it off my older brother before that. This poor thing has been through everything from those two. It’s been flipped, spun out, and slammed against a pillar (by no fault of the car, my brother’s are terrible drivers and have totaled 5 cars between the two) and it runs perfectly still. Its front passenger fender was sheared by the pillar my brother hit and all the lights still worked, and no alignment damage. It has fantastic gas mileage and is a sturdy and reliable car, as well as affordable. I still drive it as a back up car and love that thing. It has an insane amount of mileage on it and can still make my daily 2 hour commute to work with no problems, besides being a little loud, my only other complaint is the cup holders. Only one is useful.

Best car in the world.....ever

I bought my 99 Cavalier Coupe in March 2006 with 97k on it. I bought because I needed a car to handle the long 40 mile commute to work and my 2004 Chevy Venture was too much on gas. The Cavalier was really basic, but decent nonetheless. It was really good on gas getting me 35+ MPG. I am really satisfied with my little red Chevy. It now has 182k on it and it's still running like a champ. I am giving it to my daughter who is getting her license in just a few weeks.

Great Car

Bought a 99 Cav Z24 convertable--one of the most reliable cars ever owned. Kept up on the oil changes (use Mobil 1) and this little car purrs like akiten. The power window motors are a pain in the rear but everything works great. It had 30,000 miles on it when i bought it and now has 130,000 on it. Been driving it to Seattle (from Puyallup) most every day. Buy one, you'll ike it.

A Dependable Means of Transportation!!!!!

I bought my Cavalier new 12 years ago and never had a problem with it. Even in 30 below weather it always was dependable and started. I was faithful with regular checkups and maintenance and I definitely got my monies worth before trading it in for a different car.....only because I wanted something newer......I hope my jeep treats me as good as my cavalier did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
