Worst choice of my life

1995 Chevrolet Cavalier 4dr Sedan
Bought a '95 Cavalier to replace what I thought was an ailing car I should've kept. In the 7 months I've owned the car it's had mechanical problems 6 times. First day I got it found out something was wrong with the transmission which would make it freeze up and not switch gears when it warmed up. The water pump busted and I went through 4 jugs of antifreeze before it could get fixed, … transmission started to go, car would max out at 50, back door popped right open one day around a turn, and just recently it would take a city block to get it to 30mph and the whole exhaust system nearly touches the ground while the converter looks ready to blow.

We purchased this white '95 four door
in August of 1999 when it had only
20,000 miles on it. We now have 74,000
miles on the car. We've replaced the
head gasket ($650), water pump ($100),
wheel speed sensor ($150?), air
conditioning compressor ($450) and it
needs to be replaced AGAIN (The
condensor is bad, TOO.) The bottoms of
the inside of two of the four doors …
have not rusted through ONLY because of
the sanding, scraping, priming, etc.
that I do yearly. The car goes on sale
in three days!!

Love the car, love the way it drives, just diappointed about the head gasket. But I bought it with more than 100k anyway. Love the gas mileage. Love driving it. Never owned a Cav before, but my next car will be a Cav, too. Two door. Love them. Love the way it looks and sits.

1995 Chevrolet Cavalier 2dr Coupe
This car gives me problems all the time. It rattles, it clanks, and it's falling apart. I had one shortly before this one. I should have known when it burst in to flames that it was a bad Idea to buy another. Live and learn huh? The car leaks oil, the speedometer is broken, (it dances as I'm going down the road) I have replaced the fuel injectors 2 times in the last year, (I know other … Cavaliers that have fuel leaking!) The seats are so uncomfortable. The suspension stinks. I have tried to keep up with this car but have decided to drive it 'till it dies. My car has some miles on it but that's no excuse!
