1997 Cavalier 7 degree cold start

7 Degrees this morning, -13 with the wind chill. First start since yesterday morning. Pretty impressive I think, for a car with almost 130,000 miles on it. I am using Pennzoil Platinum (Full Synthetic) 5W-30 Motor oil, and 6oz of Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas.

i would beg to differ on the seats...my friends 04 cav has both front seats broken ..one is the sliding device..the other is something broke on the back part of it ...its a junk interior...speedo stopped working at like 65k too...along with other quality issues.....fail car

Strange, none of those problems on mine.

[coandcaiv]

these cars have nasty..NASTY interiors....and gay seats -.-

[rudolphna54]

I've seen worse interiors. And the seats are not that bad, they just could use lumbar support.

so whats next for the cavalier just a daily driver or what are you going to do to it anything?

[rudolphna54]

@Ricozero It's my daily driver. Probably won't do any real mods to it, it has to be reliable, get good gas mileage, and get me from point a to point b for the next 5-6 years.

My 98 runs like a champ, no complaints here.

@coandcaiv For a car that gets awesome gas mileage and will never die on you, it's got a pretty decent interior. My parents had them for years and beat the hell out of them both driving over 200 miles per day on salty winter roads and my Mom's car made it all the way to Florida from Maine without a problem. My Dad sold it to one of his friends, and we still see it driving around, over 250,000 miles on the clock.

rudolphna54 - Which oil were you using in the car before? I take it there was a problem with it starting in the cold at 7 deg. F?
