2002 Chevrolet Cavalier VL review from North America
"Serves its purpose as an economy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing (knock on wood). However, I noticed a few little things. The low coolant light comes on sometimes, even though the temperature gauge indicates it's only at the mid-range point, it goes off after awhile. The other little thing is when I'm parking, I always hear a popping noise coming from the rear brakes.
General comments?
I average 10litres for every 100 kms. travelled Is this normal?
This car serves its purpose for what it is intended for, it's an economy car and should be used as one. It is not a sports car and it is not fast (0-60 in 10secs, as rated by Consumer Reports),it does its job as a daily commuter. For those who own 2door Cavaliers and 2door
Sunfires, please do not drive your car as if it's a sports car, I can attest that it's not.
