The car that nearly killed Cadillac's reputation—a gussied-up Chevrolet Cavalier with a luxury badge and a 4-cylinder engine. It's reliable in the way a toaster is reliable, but it's about as prestigious as a rental at a budget airport.
The Cimarron was a compact luxury sedan—basically a rebadged Chevrolet Cavalier. It was front-drive, unibody on the GM J-body platform. Engines: 1.8L I4 (85 hp), 2.0L I4 (90 hp), or 2.8L V6 (125 hp). Transmissions: 4-speed manual, 5-speed manual, or 3-speed auto. It had a plush interior for a compact car, but it was still a Cavalier underneath.
The Cimarron is reliable in the sense that it's a Chevy Cavalier—cheap to fix and parts are everywhere. But it's a terrible Cadillac. The 1.8L and 2.0L engines are okay, but the 2.8L V6 has intake manifold gasket issues. The 3-speed auto is a slushbox, but it's durable. The Cimarron is not a car you'd want to restore or drive for pleasure. It's a footnote in automotive history.
