The dealer just got in a couple new cavaliers and they look different! The nose seems to point down more and the rear looks really futuristic! Not sure if I like them or not, anyone else seen one?

Looks lilke it will compete well with the imports.

 

Any engine changes?  Power always makes a car/truck look better. :)

Why would they do that.... They are do a complete redesign ina few years, aren't they? Oh well, It looks pretty neat, to say the least. I just can't wait till chevy has that import stomping high performance 200-240 HP 4 cylinder in thier small cars.

I like em' even though it's not really a guy's car. I talked my ex-fiance into getting a '97 Z24 in '98. I really miss her.

 

 

The car that is  :)

The G/F and I saw a new one on the tollway yesterday and both her and I thought the owner was attempting to "Rice" it out with a goofy set of taillights.  I had no idea they messed with the design!

 

Why can't they just leave it alone?  Right after they redesigned it in 1995 was the best looking.  All they needed to improve on was power and quality!

MXR, I was expecting something more along the lines of "people just don't like change. Get over it" or something like that.  :D  :)

 

To me the rear end says "subaru".

 

Any power changes?

I talked my wife, before we got married, out of her Escort and into her 1997 Cavalier Z-24. The old engine choices were the 2.2L with I think 100-110 hp and the 2.4L in the Z-24 coupe with 140 hp. Then last year they dropped the Z-24 Option, replaced with LS Sport Coupe / Sedan, and added a 2.2L Ecotec with 140 hp. Now, for 2003 the 2.2L Ecotec 140hp engine is the only one available. So the engine choices changed, but they still have the same horsepower. We still have her Z-24 and that little car is a pocket rocket, but I have to use a shoe horn to get myself in and out of it.

It doesn't bother me any!  I actually thought it was a Catera at first (it was raining hard, so it was kinda hard to see until we got closer).

 

I just thought the 95's (I think) were the cleanest looking.  These look good too.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
