2001 Chevrolet Cavalier 2-door sedan review from North America
"Cheap cost., cheap car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wrecked at 2000 miles, air bags did not deploy.
New set of tires at 3000 miles.
Thermostat went at 5000 miles.
Hub caps make bad clicking noise so I removed them and it looks better.
Annoying rattle at low RPM's.
Leaks brake fluid out of cap.
Loosing antifreeze with no signs of where it's going.
Paint chipping.
Got beat by a Saturn 2 door.
General comments?
Took a six banger Stang.
Spins some tire when dropped from 6 grand.
Dealer knows me by name and this is not a good thing.
Takes abuse well, but not good enough, should have bought a Ford F-150.
