Living with it
Reliability
This car has only let me down once and that was December 2001 when I had a flat battery.
Image
I think the Cavaliers hold a very strong image.
Comfort
I find the seat very comfortable especially on the motorway.

Security and Service
Security
With this car been a 1990, it has no deadlocks! The cars with deadlocks came in 1992, but I have fitted a Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser which have been very good.
Service
The service is pretty good at my local dealer.
