2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS Sport review from North America

Rear tail lights went out, this was part of a recall.

Sunroof motor burnt out.

Driver side window sluggish when going up.

Trim around windshield started to buckle from sun and heat.

Center console lid came completely off.

Rear speakers blew.

I had this car for two years, and in those two years I totally enjoyed owning and driving it. The things I mentioned above as going wrong were all covered under my warranty, and was fixed at the dealership with no hassle. Except for the tail lights which I did myself, and the window, because the guy I talked to at the shop seemed to think they all did it just because his daughter's car did it. He also thought that just because I was a girl, I only cared about the color of the car. Not true.

This car handled great, had good speed, and I didn't have any trouble mechanically from it.

The one thing I do have a complaint about, is the interior room, it is a bit small, but I expected that in buying a compact car.

A design flaw I noticed often was that you couldn't flip the visors down without either hitting yourself in the head, or obstructing your vision. I was afraid I would have a wreck and get my head knocked off by the visor if it was down.
