Physics Dept., IN Lines: 18 *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** This seems to be the week for requesting info on new cars. I too am in the market for a new car. The front runner at this time seems to be the Chevy Cavalier. So, I thought I would ask the folks out their for their experiences with this car, good and/or bad. Any options you would suggest to get or avoid. Is the five speed worth the extra money? Hope to hear your experiences soon. Thanks. Rich Piner piner@pur-phy.UUCP P.S. To the person that flamed the Vegas, they had a very bad start to be sure. But the later models (after 73) were much better. I've been driving mine, every day, for 12 years. I lost a water pump when the car was new, but that has been the only part that failed early and without warning. Otherwise it has been very reliable and by today's standards even roomy. I will hate to see it go.
