2002 Chevrolet Cavalier VL review from North America
"Worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS are strange. Makes a LOUD grinding noise and crunches under your foot.
Has stalled on occasion (not my fault), I don't drive it like it's a sports car, just normally, and it will stall.
Starting the car sometimes is a hassle, can take 2-3 seconds to kick-in while turning the key.
Trunk lid sometimes takes a couple of slams to shut properly.
Front seats are thin, can feel kids kicking your back very easily from the backseat.
General comments?
Drives fairly well.
Gets good gas mileage on the highway, not so much in the city.
Not too noisy.
No serious problems yet.
Got in a couple of small accidents, (not my fault!) paint is thin and easily damaged.
