Does the Chevrolet Cavalier have a manual transmission?

What kind of transmission is in the Chevrolet Cavalier? I don’t know how to drive a manual and I’m not sure if I should accept my friend’s offer to borrow his Cavalier or not.

Liz Jenson · Updated on Jun 8, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

The

Chevrolet Cavalier

can have a manual transmission or an automatic transmission, depending on the preference of the buyer. If you’re unsure about the transmission type in your friend’s car, the best thing to do is just ask!

There are a lot of people who don’t know how to drive a stick shift, so your friend shouldn’t be too surprised if you ask for help. They might be able to drive you in their car, or they might even offer to help you learn how to drive a manual car, which would be a valuable skill to have in the future.

While you’re learning more about the Cavalier, check out the

options, too. Jerry makes it easy to find the best rates available on the coverage you need, so you’ll be sure to find the policy that’s right for you.
