2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS Coupe review from North America
"Great value and styling, not-so-great ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The door on the gas tank wouldn't close because one of my kids was able to bend the hinge.
The automatic driver's side window jammed.
General comments?
Overall, I really like this car. The CD system is superior and it handles very well. It was a good value and the car has nice styling. I had a Ford Escort before this Chevy and that vehicle was much better on rough terrain than this one. It doesn't take bumps well at all. I'm already hearing squeaky noises in the chassis from the rough city roads I drive on to and from work. The Ford was older than this new car and yet it handled the same roads a lot more smoothly. This car would be terrific if I could count on a smoother ride. Otherwise, I have no complaints and I'm pretty happy with it.
