#SWEET J BODY CAVALIER MANUAL#
Transmissions were either a three-speed auto (which John Davis from MotorWeek described as, ‘horrendous’), or two choices of manual transmissions (four or five speeds). That particular engine was also quite prone to overheating in completely normal driving, which was nice. The optional 2.8 liter V6 boosted power to 130, but that still was not much. The Cavalier had it, the Cimarron had it. Interior quality was a persistent complaint from magazines and owners. I can’t find any good pictures of the inside, but I assure you that this is something you can trust me on. In typical GM fashion, it was the wrong materials in the wrong places. To be fair, the Cavalier pictured is returning to the earth next to an equally doomed Saturn, but still.Īnother less obvious carry-over from the picture above was the Cimarron’s interior. I would say that accusation is not far from the truth, but the Cimarron definitely looks better than the mighty Cav’. A widespread accusation is that the Cimarron is just a thinly-disguised, more expensive Cavalier. The most popular car on this platform was the Cavalier.
There were at least ten cars on this platform, ranging from the Oldsmobile Firenza to the Daewoo Espero. Let’s put down the pitchforks and take a look at what this car actually was. Before you lift a finger over the, “You are a GM apologist” key, I am totally a GM apologist. It’s going to be objective, It’s going to be fair, and we’re going to assume it does not have the reputation it does now. We’re gonna take a look at the Cadillac Cimarron – or Cimarron by Cadillac – whatever you want to call it.
