2004 Chevrolet Cavalier LS Sport review from North America
"If you want a car that looks hot, and you want a lot of use out of the warranty, this is your car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A bad rattling noise was occurring under the right side of the hood near where the passenger would sit. had it back 4 times before they figured out what was wrong. During which they added clips which were not installed during assemly, as well as brackets that were missing.
My front passenger fog light burnt out twice within 3 weeks of eachother. It wasn't until the second time they told me the housing was cracked and water was getting in.
Driver's side rear view mirror was faulty at time of delivery and had to be taken back the next week to get replaced. It vibrated non-stop while the car was in motion.
During manufacturing, the sealing was not properly installed around the front windshield so I had some minor leaking for a couple months before that problem was resolved.
General comments?
This car looks great. The LS sport 2 door is sharp, and definitely turns heads. It handles the road pretty tightly, however the power when accelerating is a little slow. It has the "premium sound" system, which honestly is nothing special. I have had this car back time and time again for some pretty bad errors. Granted it is covered under warranty, but this is becoming a huge inconvenience in which the dealership I am going through is not being very sympathetic. I am looking to trade it in now for a non GM model. Buyer Beware and keep your eyes peeled a little more even if you are buying brand new!
