Cavalier Ecotech

  • Manual transmission
  • 55,000 miles

55,000 miles and I need a new engine??? WOW!! And I traded in my Intrepid with 75,000 miles to get something "more reliable"! Minimum cost for me...$3,000. It started with the car stalling at lights and quickly progressed to not drivable.

Cavalier 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 25,000 miles

Who could resist all of this??? I mean I have no temp gauge, no speedometer, rpms are all over the place, and my cd player plays when it feels like it(reset button under hood). On top of all these luxuries, the Chevy Cavalier also offers you stalling. I have been in mid-left turn on major intersections of Los Angeles and had my car just die. I have been on the 110 fwy and had my car go into stand-by mode. I would be willing to trade in all thisssssssss for a reliable car. I know I know, I am crazy to give up all my Chevy perks but I am willing to make the sacrifice. *This is my first car and my last Chevy*
