I no longer own my Cavalier, this might make it a little hard to write about, but I'll try my best. :) The model I owned was an L reg 1.8i LS Saloon in silver grey - I don't know what colour that is called but hey! The car has a surprising number of features: Electric windows Sunroof - manual :( Drivers airbag Radio cassette with 6 speakers (I think) 5 speed gear box Split rear seats - a rarity in Saloon cars I think? What it didn't include was ABS (Antilok Braking System) which it would have done had it been an M reg and hence newer. Good features of the car ------------------------ *1.8 ...

I have recently purchased an M-Reg (1995) Cavalier CDX 2.5 V6 (112000 miles) for £1995 and thought I'd share a few views for anyone thinking about getting one. Firstly it really does go as quick as you'd think, it has 170 bhp and does 0-60 in 7.8 sec. Yes, it can be a bit noisy; and no, it does not cost an arm and a leg to run... well, so far(!). This is an excellent alternative to an SRi Cavalier, no fancy graphics, or large badges... looks just like the 1.8L which suits me fine... and best of all, it's quite rare and would have been a very expensive company car (read: Directors rather than Sales Rep.), so it should have a low number of ...
