Also I know there is alot of people bashing the Cavalier yea it deserves it now but the car was a decent car and did provide alot of people with transportation. I always thought it was a decent car and I am willing to say that about every family in america someone from that family has either rode in a J body car or own and driven one.
i actually sorta liked the cavy
wouldnt mind one for a daily driver
my sister has a 95 and even tho the thing is in terrible shape (lookswise) i still think they make nice little cars and get you from point a to point b

i'd have to say, if i ever ventured into modding a 4banger, it'd be either a z24 or a 88-89 conquest tsi

Cavalier wise I've wanted to get either a 3.1 z24 with a 5 speed (I love my 3.1 transplant in my ol 89 corsica It needs a tiny bit of body work and striped down repaint and wear and tear a little bit inside but overal a decent car to get u where u want to go) a 2.4 z24 from the late 90s or a new 2.2 ecotec. Preferably from the 03-05 life cycle but a 98 on would be good as well

I am needing a car to replace the Corsica and I want to stay in the Chevy family and only decent and sporty looking cars that are budget wise and practical that I'm interested in is a Cavalier or a decent used Camaro. I'd like to have a camaro but this car I get will be hauling 4 people most of the time around so I guess a cavalier would be the easy choice but the love for the Camaro is really driving me crazy.

i see your dilemma man
the only good thing to haul 4 people around in all the time would be a 4 door though :yuk:
yea, i'd go with a z24 or a nice 3rd gen

Re: End of Cavalier... Cobalt coming within 2 weeks.

I actually kind of like the rear end of the new Cavaliers, they remind me of Camaros. Perhaps they redesigned the Cavalier in 2003 or 2004 because of the death of Camaro. The front end though... it is just atrocious, it reminds me of what a 4th gen would look like if it didn't have the blessed overhang.

EDIT: Has anyone seen the 2005 Cavalier Xtreme yet?? It is pretty cool!
