2004 Chevrolet Cavalier Base review from North America
"I love it, I love it, I love it!! :)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
To be completely honest I have not had a single problem with this car, nor did my aunt when she bought it new. the only expenses I have had are routine maintenance such as:
Replacing brakes and rotors.
Regular oil/filter/air filter changes, etc.
And obviously... gasoline!
General comments?
I love this car!!! It has so much more power than my last car (1995 Neon) and is much more comfortable. The only thing I have done to the car, other than those listed above, is installing satellite radio.
The car accelerates well, and drives like a dream while on cruise control on busy interstates.
Handling is good, and the braking is more than sufficient.
The ride is rather comfortable for a compact car, and the interior (although I think it could have used some updating from previous models) is attractive and very simple.
And the exterior is gorgeous!! Well, especially with a rear spoiler (for some reason I think Cavaliers look naked without one). The spoiler also makes the four door sedan look just as sporty as the coupes.
I just love this car!!
Plus, why buy foreign when you can buy a very reliable American-made car?
