4 doors and ecotech engine. is
this car any good and what
advantages does this new engine
have over the 2.4 engine it replaces. thank you

P.S. Hi Dindak! Yeah, I still lurk even though my wife finally traded the Crapalier for a Protege5 eight months ago and is loving it. Holds a baby seat and the stroller much better too, and has a better warranty -- oh, and no problems in 9,000 miles. We couldn't say that for the Cavalier, which by this time had the infamous lower-dashboard rattle, a new stereo and a replaced headlight switch. ;-)
Don't throw in the towel yet.
Anyway, glad I got it before the 03 came out. Talk about ugly. From the rear it looks like an old Geo Storm. But it does have the new Ecotec 2.2L.
Does anyone know when the redesigned Cav (Delta platform I believe) come out?
One also has to realize that there is a function of the type of driving to consider. If it takes you 90 minutes to go 18 miles (Welcome to Northern Virginia in September....), an automatic is a good idea.
-- from someone who drove a 1992 Cav stick for ten years and has a 97 LS auto.
I know they are supposedly more fun to drive (don't know how to drive one, so I don't know for sure), but I prefer convenience to power in traffic.
Also, any rave Auto Museums you can recommend in that same area? I've already been to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Auburn/Cord/Duesenberg and Ray Miller museums in Indiana, and the Gilmore in Michigan (and those are all great I might add).
If those of you that have experienced this would please reply, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if there are any repairs that could prevent this, they would also be appreciated.
thanks,

SFI would seem to refer to a 2.4L engine. 2.2 is listed as an MFI. So, if you have a 2.2, the explanation would be even more suspect.
Also, the steering wheel and some interior pieces felt better. But, the rear end looks funny with the fenders sticking out past the trunk lid.
But, I would wait for a 2004 Malibu or 2005? Cavalier.
Seems like a reasonable deal. Any comments (either on the price or on the car in general)?
Thanks!

csandste : The 03 isn't ugly, but it's not as good looking as the 02. Ah well, the replacement is about a year and a half away and the ION looks pretty good if you want a GM small car this fall.

Also, http://www.cars.com and click on "research and price", then on "black book prices" on that page.
You are looking at a 4-year old car with pretty good mileage, but an awful interior. This car also was probably in an accident. I think you can do better than $5995, especially since this car is a Cavalier, and they don't hold their value that well either.
I think also want to give Saturn a little head start with their new small ION.
I am curious to check out Saturn's new car. I know the S Series is wayyy over the hill, worse than the Cavalier is.
I would go for an ION at this point. They should hit the street in a month or two.
Is there a common problem that anyone knows about or anything I can check for?
I have driven 200K with ABS & think its the best thing since popped corn.
Anyone here know where I can locate detailed info on the ABS system used in the cavaliers. I got a Chiltons on it & it tells how to change the components but not how to check the system. I didn't even see anything in the wiring diagrams showing a schematic of the system. I also bought the Haynes manual which I'm going to return because it's USELESS. SO DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE HAYNES, go for the Chiltons, I found it to be a bit more indepth on most things.
