2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Base review from North America
"Overall, a very dependable and economical vehicle which I expect to keep for a long time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dealer recall for stop light failure.
Climate control switch failure.
Rotors turned at 13,000 miles.
Warranty is up and the starter is about to fail.
General comments?
The body style looks good and handles well.
The engine and automatic transmission work very well together.
The gas mileage was even better than expected, especially around town.
The sun visor bumps the rear view mirror when pushed down into sun blocking position.
Climate controls are too low and impossible to adjust with something in the cup holders under them.
