Article Abstract:
Stiffer frames in DaimlerChrysler Corp's 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota models have clearly made a visible difference as the two-wheel-drive Club Cab models are impressively solid on rough roads. Ride quality is also excellent. The suspension provides a comfortable and stable ride, with only minimal bouncing on wavy surfaces. The 5.2-liter V-8 engines in these models are quieter than before, and smoother. This generation provides slightly more interior space and towing capacity than competing compact pickup rivals and a significant edge in payload capacity.

Article Abstract:
General Motors Corp's 1995-1999 Chevrolet Cavalier models feature an improved suspension, lengthened wheel base and stiffer structure, all of which combine to provide a comfortable ride in cars that absorb most bumps easily without floating or wallowing on wavy surfaces. However, base and LS models lean considerably in turns and respond sluggishly to quick steering changes. The Z24 also rides quite well on most pavement surfaces but provides tighter control.

Article Abstract:
Regular cabs in DaimlerChrysler Corp's 1990-1996 Dodge Dakota models provide ample space for three adults. Little storage space is available behind the seats unless used-car buyers opt for the Club Cab. It is difficult to get into the rear seat, which is not sufficient for three people and provides limited knee room. Dakotas handle competently and ride well despite their size. However, the ride can get bouncy when the cargo box is empty.
