Chevrolet Cavalier

The 1995 redesign of the Cavalier brought an expansion in size and more aerodynamic styling with elements taken from the 4th Generation Chevrolet Camaro. However, it kept certain recognizable elements such as the bumper-integrated grille, the coupes' dipped beltline, and the charcoal-colored bumpers on some Base model cars. As well as the two-door coupe and four-door sedan, a convertible was also offered, replacing the wagon model, which was replaced by the LS Sedan that had power windows and power door locks. 15 and 16 inch wheels were made available as an option. This update allowed the Cavalier to become the best selling car in the GM lineup by 1997. All engines used in the third generation Cowboys were Inline-four. These ranged from the 122 Pushrod four-cylinder engine (2.2 L OHV) found in the Base and RS models, which was primarily mated to a 3-speed automatic but had the option of a 5-speed Manual in two-door models, through to the 2.3 L LD2 Quad-4 engine used in the Z24 and LS convertible in 1995, which was replaced by the 2.4 liter DOHC LD9 engine in 1996. This engine generated 150 hp (112 kW) and 155 lb·ft (210 N·m) of torque and was used until 2002. In 2000, the Cavalier saw a minor facelift with adapted headlights and a grille improvement, while its trunk lost the “CHEVROLET” text badge in favor of “CAVALIER” and new “five-spoke” hubcaps. The 2.4-liter engine came as standard with the Getrag F23 5-speed manual transmission on the Z24 models and as an optional 4-speed automatic on both Z24 and the LS Models. The two-door coupe version of the Cavalier’s Z24 model featured a sport-tuned suspension, 16-inch tires, alloy wheels and improved interior electronics. In 2000 a four-door Z24 Sedan with the same mechanics but a less sporty body was released, followed by an improved wider front sway bar and FE2 Sports Suspension for better handling characteristics, and ABS anti-lock braking system in 2001. The same year, the 3-speed automatic was discontinued for base models of the 2.2-L, while the 4-speed automatic became the only option for the entire Cavalier lineup, with the 5-speed still available in two-door cars. That year the RS model was removed and replaced by the LS Sport line, which housed the new Ecotec L61 motors (140 hp (104 kW) and 150 lb·ft (200 N·m) torque) promising improved fuel economy for the 122 Pushrod Engine (2.2 L OHV). This engine was used in place of the GM 122 Pushrod in the base model in 2003 and this became the sole option across the entire Cavalier lineup until the model’s eventual replacement by the Cobalt in 2005. A GM Eaton M45 Supercharger kit was also available for the Z24 trim. Developed and tested by General Motors, it was installed in GM dealerships and increased performance to approximately 190 hp (142 kW) and 195 lb·ft (264 N·m) of torque with a pressure of 4.7 PSI, adding approximately 40 hp (30 kW) and 40 lb·ft (54 N·m) of torque. The Cavalier had two facelifts during its third generation: a minor one in 2000 and a major one in 2003, which included a new front end and a rearranged rear lift gate design. The 1995-2005 model of the car had a "Poor"
