2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Base review from North America
"Best bang for your buck, at least in an American car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tail light went out after 8 months... no biggie.
General comments?
Considering after rebates/discounts, I only paid $13,500, there is not much to complain about.
I have had no problems with my car. The only issue with my car is it is an American car and it has a weak resale value compared to an import car, such as the Honda Civic. Honda Civics are known to be good vehicles and start out about the same as a Cavalier. I would consider test driving a Honda Civic first before test driving this car... to save yourself money in the long run when it is time to sell it.
Also, Chevy doesn't have as good as a warranty as rival car companies. But, besides depreciation and the warranty, this has been nothing but perfect, and I have no regrets in buying it.
