Pre Owned 2004 Chevy Cavalier in White The Chevrolet Cavalier was Chevrolet’s version of the compact GM J platform. The book American Automobile 1983-1993 notes that the Cavalier was aimed at competing with quality imports such as the Honda Accord. It was one of the most popular cars in the United States and Canada from its introduction in early 1981 as a 1982 model. Even in the 2000s, it was GM’s best selling car and trailed only the Ford Taurus, Toyota Camry, and Honda’s Accord and Civic in total sales.[1] The Cavalier was a compact Chevrolet produced from 1982 to 2005. The Cavalier is widely cited as the most successful of Chevrolet’s long line of cars aimed at combatting the influx of compact imported vehicles, starting with the Corvair, Vega, Monza and the Chevette, with the Cavalier leading up to current Cobalt. The Chevrolet Vega defined the subcompact class, before being replaced by both the Monza and the Chevette.[2] After the exit of the Vega, the Monza and Chevette would do little to expand Chevrolet’s share of small cars, but the arrival of the front-wheel-drive Cavalier would change this. It was not the only J-car to use the Cavalier name; it was also used in the United Kingdom on the Vauxhall-badged version of the Opel Ascona C, and indeed the badge had been used by Vauxhall since 1976. The J-cars were offered by all five US divisions of General Motors, as well as GM in Britain, Germany and Australia. Before the Pontiac brand was officially introduced in Mexico in 1992, Cavaliers sold there featured Pontiac Sunbird body panels, as opposed to US Cavalier panels. From 1993 on, the sibling marques were both offered
The last models of the Cavalier were almost entirely new and the only commonality with the first models was the name. New, safer bodies were introduced across the range and the pushrod four was finally eased into retirement. The pushrod engine continued until 2002, but was available ‘for fleets only’ in that year. For 1995, a DOHC engine was introduced and continued until 2002 in various specifications, when it was replaced by an engine similar to that used in the German Opel Vectra. The V6 saw its final year in 1994. A four speed automatic was introduced and was the only option in the last three years, in which the manual offered was made by Getrag in Germany .
