One is tempted to damn the Chevrolet Cavalier with faint praise. it's a generally attractive package, but words such as adequate and functional come to mind for the rest of the car. It really deserves better than that, but so do Cavalier buyers. The'95 is a major improvement over the vehicle it replaces and that's likely to bring many longtime Cavalier customers back to their local Chevrolet dealer. Still, one is left with the feeling that Chevy set its sights lower than its competitors. The car doesn't quite come up to world-class standards. Maybe Chevy engineers know their market a little too well: The Cavalier has the feel of a car designed for the rental fleets. We wouldn't discourage you from buying the new Cavalier. But we do suggest you check out the competition before you sign on the dotted line. |
