2003 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America
"All that and a bag of Chips!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake light died. A common problem fixed under warranty.
Passenger door lock goofy. Sometimes have to dick around with key. Will take in to have it looked at.
On a long road trip it used to have that anit-freeze smell. Gone now. It's a mystery.
A lot of squeaking going on somewhere in the supension?
It seems to goon all my cd's. The player gets real hot. I am careful with my cd's as I used have LP's (old fart). I have tested the player by putting in a new cd for a month and it does not goon it while in the player. I suspect it goons the cd either during inserting or removing the cd. It's hugely maddening. Has anybody else had this problem? Let me know at justburk59@hotmail.com.
General comments?
Excellent price. Excellent 140 hp Ecotec. I have had the car from new and have 30k in one year. It's great on the highway and the city. Gas mileage got better at about 25k. Not sure if my foot got lighter? I think it's the best deal going for the price. I love it and I believe it loves me. Handles excellent in snow. So far bullet proof. If I get 5 years of trouble free driving, I will be a hero. If not, I will be a goat.
