Just tell him that it's a prime girlie car. Most teenage high school girls love the Cavalier's.
I was doing sewing as a second job for a couple of years. Prom season was mayhem. Almost all them pulled up in Cavalier's.

Or are you really talking about a girl-friend. Then there is no hope.

Chick car.

Tell him that if he gets that car, you won't be able to hang out with him for fear that he'll develop a crush on you.

Cavalier/ Sunfire has the WORST crash rating of any car ever crash-tested. Enough said.

On the other hand, a customer of mine had a head-on collision in her Focus the other day. She hit a SUBURBAN. The Focus is totaled, and all she has a bruise from the seat belt. Now THAT'S a well-built small car!

I assume your friend has driven other cars in this class. If he/she hasn't I encourage them to test drive as many as it takes to change his or her mind. That GM car is a one way ticket to 1. The Junk Yard 2. The Emergency Ward. My new Focus XE comes in January and I'm sure it will be a more capable car. My wifes Altima 3.5 SE is an outstanding car. None of North Americas manufacturers are able or willing to produce cars of this quality at populace affordable pricing, for whatever reason it seems they have given up the race and are satisfied to make grocery carts for the masses

Well now I've got him to have a reasonable doubt about the cavalier and he is now considering a tempo. I'm trying to convince him to get a Crown Vic.
