2003 Chevrolet Cavalier VL (LS) review from North America
"A good economy bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The vinyl fabric around the stick-shift and handbrake has started to crack in the cold after only 2 months.
There is a rattling in the dash that I can't seem to casually identify. I will need to investigate further.
I now have two (2) screws which I can't identify coming from my car. This seems like a bad sign.
The first gear is sometimes hard to get into from a stop. You can push it in, but it seems not to be as smooth as it should be.
General comments?
This is my first car, and for the money seems like an excellent deal.
