2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Reviews - Page 7 of 11

The dashboard cracked and had to be replaced after one year.

The glove compartment would open on its own.

Paint on top of car faded on two small sections.

When it rained water would leak inside the car onto the backseat, leaving half the seat wet. Water also goes into the trunk leaving a bad musty smell.

Paint on inside door handle faded during first month of purchase.

The inside part where you adjust the side mirror lets in water.

The dashboard is making a noise.

Brakes already had to fixed.

This car was purchased brand new. It was to be a gift from my dad to my daughter. Due to the things that have started to go wrong with this car in under three years. I will not allow my daughter to drive her car to college. I'm afraid of what else will start to go wrong.

This car is not very comfortable on out of town trips.

The sun visor on the passenger side started to come apart at 15,000 miles and the dealer replaced it under warranty. The front brakes are pulsating while braking at 20,000 miles. I called the dealer and am in the process of making an appointment to get the problem fixed.

The Cavalier is a great car and would recommend it to anyone looking for a low priced economy car.

You get a lot for your money with the Cavalier and the car gets good gas mileage. Mileage is around 30 mpg combined city-highway driving and 38 mpg on a trip. Standard features include body side moldings, rear window defroster, anti-lock brakes, intermittent wipers, remote trunk release, and AM/FM/CD player radio.

I can always depend on this car to get me to where I'm going. Nothing fancy, just a dependable, durable economy car. I have seen many older Cavaliers with well over 200,000 miles on the 2200 overhead valve engine, so with proper care and maintenance the Cavalier should hold its own compared to any import in its price range.

The only problem I have with this car is the front brakes. The rotors are warped at 20,000 miles and will need to be resurfaced. The dealer said they will do this under warranty.

This car is more than what I expected for the price. The front brake problem is relatively minor considering that the cost of the parts to do the job myself would be about $50.00. However, the dealer will take care of it for me for free. The car consistently gets 32mpg average city and highway driving, and gets 38mpg on a trip. The Cavalier is the best economy car on the road in my opinion. Where else can you get a car for $10,000 that is union made in the USA, reliable, gets good gas mileage, and is cheap to insure?
